Kualoa Regional Park

How does camping under the gaze of the majestic Koʻolau Mountains, beside the turquoise waters of Kaneʻohe Bay, sound for your next getaway? Kualoa Regional Park on Oʻahu’s northeastern coast offers a unique camping experience defined by serene oceanfront views, meticulously maintained grounds, and a profound sense of cultural and natural heritage. Campers are treated to unobstructed panoramas of Mokoliʻi Island (commonly referred to as Chinaman's Hat), which punctuates the bay with its iconic silhouette, while the calm, reef-protected waters invite kayaking, paddleboarding, or simply relaxing beachside.

With 30 small campsites available, this campground provides basic but essential amenities, including restrooms, outdoor showers, picnic tables, and drinking water. Shaded by stately trees, the area ensures a comfortable outdoor escape with ample respite from the sun. Proximity to Kualoa Ranch—an adventure hub just minutes away—adds the option of exploring thrilling attractions like movie set tours, horseback riding, or venturing to the secluded Secret Island for water-based activities. Meanwhile, the tranquil ambiance of Kualoa Regional Park makes it perfect for quiet getaways, family escapes, or reconnecting with Hawaii’s beautiful landscape.

Located near Kaneʻohe and roughly a 30-minute drive from Honolulu, Kualoa Regional Park is accessible yet feels remote. The site offers an exceptional balance of coastal beauty and mountain grandeur, making it more than just a campsite—it’s an immersion into the island’s cultural and ecological treasures. Whether you’re planning a weekend retreat or an extended stay, this park stands out as one of Oʻahu’s most distinctive camping destinations.
