Campsites in Kohala Coast are a network of beachside and inland camping grounds along the northwestern shore of Hawaii's Big Island. These sites sit between lava fields, dry forests, and the Pacific Ocean, offering direct access to snorkelling spots and coastal hiking trails. Campers must obtain county permits in advance, and facilities range from basic pit toilets to full restrooms with showers.
What to expect
- Permits are issued by the Hawaii County Department of Parks and Recreation and must be reserved up to 30 days ahead for weekend and holiday slots.
- Sites like Spencer Beach Park include picnic tables, barbecue grills, and a protected swimming lagoon with calm water suitable for children.
- At Mahukona Beach Park, campers see the remains of a historic sugar mill pier and can snorkel among coral heads and tropical fish within 20 metres of shore.
- Nightly rates are typically $10–$20 per campsite, with a maximum stay of 7 consecutive nights at county-managed grounds.
- Camping is open year-round, but the dry season from May to September brings consistent trade winds and daytime temperatures of 27–30°C.
- No potable water is available at remote sites like Waipio Valley Lookout camping area, so bring your own supply or a filtration system.
