Great camping site to go to. They have some basic rules but it's worth a weekend stay. They have a…read moreconvenient fire pit right next to your camp site. We had one of the camp sites right next to the parking lot so it was easy to move our tent and other supplies to the site. One thing that I would say that you should look out for is the fact that it rains often. So there is a possibility that part of your camping time will involve rain. Other than that, the view from your tent is beautiful.

Camping review. Great spot. Only a few camp sites. All of them close to the bathroom facility. We…read morewere at camp site 15. Honestly if I could rent out all the back sites (14,16 and 13) it would be a weekend camp party with my friends. Each site it marked by a number on the picnic tables. Each site has two picnic tables and a fire pit. Bring your own wood. Since it rains here often, the woods pretty damp. Be sure to bring a big picnic tent as it does rain and pour at any time. There are water spouts near each site so you can wash your dishes or feet. Not as many bugs as I expected, didn't get bit much. (Only twice) and nothing was flying over our food. That bathroom facilities are nice, there's shower are and bathroom with toilet paper. Camp site 11 and 12 are on the opposite side of the bathroom and is more private then the other sites but it's right in front of the parking lot, so... if u wanna be close to your car, that's a good place to be. Everyone still has a great view. One thing I found was, when we woke up, sites 16,15, 14 were in the shade from the trees. Site 13 was under the sun already at 7am. So I didn't wake up baking in our tent. At the parking lot there are dumpsters for your trash. No trees to hang hammocks.

Waiahole Beach Park is a place of solitary and peace on the north-east shore of O'ahu. Although…read morethere are no lavatories and lifeguards in sight, the park is merely for admiring the vistas of the North Shore. The locale is calm and there's no dedicated parking but street only. The murkiness of the waters, dark sands and reefs makes it difficult to nearly impossible for swimming and snorkeling. Watching my feet sink into the nearly black sand took me by surprise. The beach area provides a large grassy area for picnics in the open sun surrounded by lightly hovering trees. At a glance and on many great days of perfect sunny weather, the contrasts from the Ko'olau's are visible through the weightless pendulous clouds. Look further into the open horizon to see Chinamans Hat. I love the chirps of the countless exotic birds that congregate at the lonely mangrove tree and bring life to its branches and drooping roots. The shallowness of the water and the abundance of fish attract fishermen from all over the island. The region makes a great location for weddings photos and avid shutterbugs. The beach park was previously used for television and movie films such as LOST, and 50 First Dates for its stunning scenery. Its surrounding areas are residential homes that line along Kamehameha Hwy. Besides the passing of cars driving past, continuous sounds of rippling waves lashing on shore and the trees are swaying to and fro. The park is a great place for reading and allowing time to pass, be lost, and disconnect from reality. I recommend bringing your own beach chairs, and towels for wiping mud off your feet. The park can be mushy especially after the rain. To keep the beauty and livelihood of the park, please be respectful to the land and pick up your trash. There are hardly any trash cans so bring a garbage bag of your own and not leave them on the beach.

Amazing spot to camp out at!…read more We camped here one night out near the beach in the trees. Away from the other tents. Decent bathrooms with large private showers. It rained pretty much night.

I was surprised I haven't written a review for Keaiwa Heiau State Park but maybe I did and the…read moreYelp Ghost stole it! Anyway this is the park that you enter in order to get to the Aiea Loop Trail with breathtaking views from the coastline thru the beautiful Halawa Valley with H3 smack in the middle. The Heiau is well marked and as a Hawaiian Spiritual place it is noted that it is to be respected as such. When you enter the park the Heiau is immediately on your left and parking in marked stalls is required. There are restroom facilities next to the covered pavilion and walkways from one to another. The path to walk into the Heiau is uneven and not easy to access so watch your step if you intend to walk around. I've seen feral chickens, feral pigs, feral cats and campers here. Permits are required for the campers not so much for the aforementioned animals. Dogs are required to be on leash. Beautiful and cooler temperature wise. The drive up Aiea Heights Drive isn't as perilous as others comment about but you do need to pay attention.

This place is such a great secret that I almost don't want to review it…read more.. Almost, Momma didn't raise no gatekeeper! This is my favorite place to camp in Oahu. It's located in a high altitude forest. The rain usually isn't that bad, and if it is, you've got trees above you to buffer it before it slaps your tent! Since it's not beach-front camping, it is actually bookable and doesn't fill up within seconds! Campsites are numbered and come with a picnic table and a fire ring. Other campers are generally pretty chill and quiet, at least when I've stayed here! One thing to note, there are lots of creepy crawlies on the forest floor here. Make sure your tent doesn't have any weaknesses in its netting! I haven't done the trails here yet, but I will next time!

Beach park north of the town Hau'ula on Oahu's North Shore…read more Beautiful beach park that is not too busy. Watch for surf and current... it was a little rough. it is also a campground but sign says that a printed permit is required to be able to use the park and all fees are non-refundable. We made a stop here to enjoy the scenery. The parking lot is just a short walk to the shore... can't see the beach immediately, at least from where we parked by the restrooms, but once we reached the sandy part and got a glimpse of the ocean it was "oooohs" and "aaaahhs." The nice stretch of soft sand and its ocean background is great for picture-taking especially when the surf is up... the best part was that there weren't that many people on this beach when we came. We visited on a Thursday afternoon and we almost had the whole beach to ourselves. Not sure how the crowd is here during the weekend. Kokololio, meaning "gusty" in Hawaiian. Review #2633

I've camped here in the past and other than an issue where someone was in the campground that shouldn't have been at 2 AM, it has been quiet and pleasant.

The cabin is simple and charming, giving off that classic Hawaiian camping vibe right near the beach. It's perfect for anyone looking to unplug and enjoy the outdoors without the usual hotel frills. The downside was definitely the presence of some dead bugs here and there in the cabin, which felt a bit off-putting. It's an older structure with a rustic charm, but could use a bit more attention to cleanliness and upkeep for comfort. That said, if you're into rugged, no-frills beach camping with easy access to beautiful coastline and great nature, it's worth it. Bring your own supplies and insect repellent, and don't expect luxury--this is more about the authentic island experience. Great for those who love the outdoors and don't mind living a little rough for a few days.
