Waiakea Camp Site
About
Found on Hawaii (Big Island), Waiakea Camp Site sits in Volcano, HI 96785, United States, within the island's interior highlands. The camp sits in Volcano, a small upland community, and its position makes it easy to reach from both Hilo and Kailua-Kona via the island's main highways. Travellers staying in Waimea, the Kohala Coast, Puna or Captain Cook can all drive to the site without crossing to the opposite side of the island.
As a campsite, Waiakea Camp Site offers tent and vehicle camping in a forested volcanic setting, and its 4.5 out of 5 average across 180 reviews reflects how consistently it has been rated by past campers. That review total is modest compared with the island's larger resorts, but the score has held steady over a substantial number of ratings. The site's website, http://www.nps.gov/havo/planyourvisit/camp.htm, provides the official details for planning a stay.
Eighteen photographs accompany this listing, showing the camping areas and the surrounding landscape. The address at Volcano, HI 96785 anchors the site firmly in the island's interior rather than the coastal resort strips.
Hawaii's drier season from April to October generally suits camping best, while the wetter months from November to March bring more rain to the upland forests around Volcano. Hawaiian food includes plate lunches, poke made from raw fish, and kalua pork cooked in an imu earth oven, all of which turn up in casual eateries across the island. English and Hawaiian are the main languages, so ordering and asking directions are straightforward for most visitors. With daytime temperatures changing little between summer and winter, the camp remains usable year-round for those prepared for rain.
