Campground Overview

About Laupāhoehoe Beach Park

What makes Laupāhoehoe Beach Park stand out is its dramatic meeting of ocean and land, where rugged lava rock formations frame powerful waves on the Hamakua Coast, creating an unforgettable coastal ambiance. This campground offers a blend of natural beauty, historical significance, and practical amenities, making it a distinctive spot for those seeking a unique camping experience.

Located just off Highway 19, about a 30-minute drive north of Hilo, the park features grassy camping areas near the ocean with facilities such as restrooms, outdoor showers, picnic tables, and a covered pavilion. The site is rich with history, housing memorials for the tragic 1946 tsunami and remnants of its fishing and sugar plantation past. While not ideal for swimming due to strong currents, the shoreline is perfect for tide pool exploration, ocean-watching, and exceptional shore fishing. Nearby attractions, such as Akaka Falls State Park and the Laupahoehoe Train Museum, add to the variety of experiences within easy reach.

Laupāhoehoe is a compelling destination for campers looking for a peaceful retreat steeped in local culture and natural splendor. Whether for a weekend getaway or a longer stay, this spot offers a chance to connect with Hawaii's heritage and striking coastal landscape.
