Malama Kiholo
About
Meet Malama Kiholo, a local business in Hawaii (Big Island), a campsite set along the Kona coast. The address, 71-1890 Queen Ka'ahumanu Hwy, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740, United States, places it on the leeward side of the island, where the weather stays drier and sunnier through most of the year. First-time visitors should expect a straightforward coastal camping setup rather than a resort-style stay, with the Pacific nearby and the road providing the main access.
Campers have given Malama Kiholo a 4.6 out of 5 average across 625 reviews, a strong record for a campsite on this coast. The site sits within the Kailua-Kona area, which serves as the main town for supplies and services on this side of the island. Kailua-Kona is one of the nearby places that frame a stay here, alongside Hilo, Volcano, Waimea, Kohala Coast, Puna, Captain Cook and Kona. Reaching the campsite from the island's main towns is manageable by car, since the Queen Ka'ahumanu Hwy runs along the Kona and Kohala coast and connects the area to the wider road network.
Five photographs accompany the listing, giving a sense of the site before arrival. Its website, http://dlnr.hawaii.gov/dar/fishing/fishing-regulations/regulated-areas/regulated-fishing-areas-on-hawaii/#kiholo-bay, provides further reference for the location.
Hawaii's tropical climate means the leeward Kona coast stays drier and sunnier year-round, while the wetter season generally runs November to March. Local food centres on fresh seafood, poke, plate lunches and tropical fruit, easy to pick up in Kailua-Kona before heading to the site. Direct flights from the US mainland serve the island, with inter-island flights and ferries linking the main islands. English and Hawaiian are the main languages, so a few local words help with routine exchanges.
