Permits are required at most of the parks, and it is a good idea to inquire
well in advance if you want to get one. The County begins its permit cycle on
November 1st each year, for the year commencing at that time. Campers now may
purchase permits for any of the County's 10 campsites over the internet and
avoid a trip to the Parks and Recreation Dept. Campers may book a campsite, pay
for a permit via credit card, and print an actual copy of the permit thru the
state web site

Camping permits also may be obtained at Kona Community Aquatic Center, 7:45
am-4 pm, Mon. thru Fri.(excluding holidays), and at the county office in Hilo
and on a limited basis at:
Waimea Community Center
Hisaoka Gym in Kohala
Yano Hall in Captain Cook
Naalehu Club House
Pahala Community Center
Island RV - With over 1500 miles of
scenic byways, the big island offers beauty beyond belief. Take your time,
enjoy the scenery and spend as many nights as you'd like camped only a few
feet from our shores. You may also enjoy camping beneath the lush tropical
setting of waterfalls it offers. With an Island RV rental there's no long
return drives back to the same hotel.
Parks & Camping on
The Big Island - There are at least a dozen camp spots around the island,
ranging from primitive camp sites with no water to rustic little cabins with
housekeeping. Some places are pretty camper friendly, but you should check
around locally before counting on camping in a certain area.
