Camping permits are required to camp at Hawaii State
campgrounds.
Oahu Island has several campgrounds managed by Hawaii State and Honolulu County.
County of Oahu campgrounds - Twelve beach parks are open for camping
year-round Friday to Tuesday - no camping on wed/thu. Free permits are issued by applying
in person at the Department of Parks and Recreation at 650 S. King St. in
Honolulu, or at any one of the City Halls on Oahu. Applicants must be at least
18 years old.
State Park Permits - Reservations should be made 30
days in advance. Camping fees for Hawaii State Parks are $5.00 per
campsite per night, with the exception of Na Pali Coast State Park, Kaua'i. The
fee for camping in Na Pali Coast State Park, which has camping areas at
Hanakapi'ai, Hanakoa, Kalalau and Miloli'i, is $10.00 per person per

Camping Permits -
To confirm reservations, State operated camping areas require a full payment
of the total cost of the camping no later than 2 weeks after a tentative
reservation is issued. For cabin reservations, a 50% deposit of the total cost
of the lodging is required. If the payment is not received within two weeks,
the reservation will be cancelled. For cabins, the remaining payment is due
upon or before issuance of the cabin key.
Malaekahana Camp Grounds -
From ancient times, Malaekahana has been known as a magical place, serving as
a "Puuhonua" (Place of Refuge). Today, as the first native-run Hawaiian State
Park area, it is still a haven (and one of the safest campgrounds in Hawaii).
No pool, no TV, no phone - only the sound of the surf to distract you.
