Kawaikoi Camp

What makes Kawaikoi Campground truly stand out is its remote setting within the Na Pali-Kona Forest Reserve, offering campers a serene retreat amidst one of Hawaii's most pristine landscapes. Accessed via the rugged Mohihi-Camp 10 Road with a high-clearance 4WD vehicle, this site is ideal for those seeking solitude, immersion in nature, and an off-the-beaten-path camping experience. Overlooking the Kawaikoi Stream, the campground features open grassy areas, two picnic shelters, and a composting toilet, making it a simple yet functional base for exploring the surrounding wilderness.

Located 3/4 mile past the Na Pali-Kona Forest Reserve boundary and near Kōkeʻe State Park, Kawaikoi Campground offers easy access to hiking trails in the area, including routes that traverse lush rainforests and provide views of Waimea Canyon. Its high elevation in the reserve creates a cooler climate, perfect for escaping the tropical heat. However, campers should be mindful of weather conditions, as the adjacent stream is prone to flash flooding during heavy rains. This campground is best suited for adventurous day trips, intimate weekend escapes, or extended vacations for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts drawn to Kauaʻi's rugged beauty.
