That feedback comes from a steady stream of campers rather than a handful of visitors. The site's page at https://dlnr.hawaii.gov/dsp/parks/hawaii/kiholo-state-park-reserve/ carries park information for the grounds. Kailua-Kona, one of the listed nearby places, sits within reach for supplies and a change of scene, while Hilo, Volcano, Waimea, Kohala Coast, Puna, Captain Cook and Kona round out the wider options for onward travel.
Campers should plan around the site's own rules for pitching and departure. The grounds welcome tents and the usual camp setup, with the Kona coast setting the tone for a stay.
Hawaiian islands have windward and leeward coasts, with wetter and drier conditions respectively, so the Kona side of the Big Island tends to stay drier than the Hilo side. The Hawaiian monk seal and green sea turtle live in Hawaiian waters and haul out on its beaches, so campers should keep a respectful distance from any wildlife. Hawaiian Creole English, commonly called Pidgin, is spoken widely across the islands, useful when arranging transport or supplies.
