What are your favorite places to camp on the Big Island of Hawaii?

SNOW BIRD

Answer
Just a reminder that the east-facing side of any island in Hawaii is always gets the rain and the west side (leeward) is windier. And crime still exists even in paradise so stay with someone and near public places and do not explore unfamiliar places at night. Also leaving valuables in a car in quiet areas like camps sites is an invitation that will be taken.
You will love the variety of insects (mosquitos) and lizardsâ¦.theyâre everywhere. You will need to get a permit in order to camp, the good news is that itâs free. You will have to pay something for staying at the campsite just like in mainland USA.
This is the permit application location: DLNR website
Oahu State Parks are the best, (All have restrooms and showers):
1-Malaekahana Beach Park (west side) Beach is clean and really awesome! Excellent beach, with available beach houses and campsites.
2-Sand Island State Recreation area (weekend only). Itâs on Sand Island in Honolulu. Fantastic view of Honolulu. You can stay here to check out the rest of Honolulu. But it is only a small beach.
3-Kahana Valley State Park (also west side). Known as a good bodysurfing beach and it has a fishpond!
enjoy!

Camping in Hawaii?

MileHigh!

Any one know of some good camping in Hawaii? What time of the year would be favorable weather for camping in Hawaii?

Answer
Our weather is pretty decent year round, but it rains more between December & March. I like Malaekahana a lot for camping. If you have military connections, Bellows is a great place too.

I'm not talking about an hour drive up north or 1 state away. I'm talking about going to Europe, Mexico or some place tropical (like Hawaii or the bahamas) How much does the average vacationer spend each year?

Or, do most people stick to camping, some other type of weekend excursion or just staying home for their vacation? Thanks!

Answer
to me just getting away from the normal routine is a vacation even if it is 1 state away,you mentioned some pretty extravagant vacations,i dont know many people who take those kind unless they have alot of money

What place would you recommend for a first vacation?

Autum

i live in the U.S. so outside preferably, and this is for future reference as i havent been at my current job long enough to take long PTO vacations.
i love history, and geology so i think places with a lot of influence on that would be way cool. anything you have suggestions for would be great. just to give you an idea, these are places ive considered in the past:
germany
england
italy
egypt
iceland (i think? maybe its greenland)
any suggestions would be appreciated! :)
id like to add that ive been to over 30 US states so ive been to most of the ones people would suggest. ive been to california, texas, las vegas, live in colorado, and many others that have wonderful things to see. ive been wanting to travel outside the US for a long time, ever since i can remember. so this is more what this post is about. thanks for any answers! :)

Answer
If you haven't been to Hawaii, I would recommend that. Specifically, I would say go to Kona on the big island. There is some history there, but also geology and nature - volcanoes, hikes, and snorkeling, for example. It is a great place to visit for 10 days or so.

Iceland is only reasonable for a couple of months in the summer. It has camping and hiking to see the really neat geology, but not much else.

In terms of history, Italy and Greece are jaw dropping. Especially Italy. You could visit a hundred times and still be going to unique places with fantastic art and architecture. Milan, Florence, Rome, Ravenna, Venice. You can't miss.

France, Germany, England, Holland, and Denmark are also good, if you plan your trips well.

Egypt is out of the question these days.

HTH.
