Best Spots For Camping On Kauai & Information About Camping Permits

Can I go to any beach front for camping?

You can drive up to any beach, nevertheless, you can only set up your camp in designated camping sites. Here on Kauai, this is the usual procedure. We will provide you with a list of the greatest locations to visit and to camp in. Please be aware that driving on the beaches isn’t allowed on Kauai.

Are we allowed to camp in the wild or are we only able to visit official camping sites? If so, how much is the fee?

No, wild camping is not permitted on the island of Kauai. You may only camp in specific locations with a valid camping permit. The charge is roughly $3 per night in the majority of Kauai county campgrounds, but private campgrounds could be a bit more. The good thing about these camping grounds is that you will have total access to facilities, including showers, bathrooms and picnic kitchen tables. Please remember that if you decide to camp on the county camp sites, you are only permitted to use the ground tent.

Do we have to get Kauai camping permits before our arrival in Kauai?

It is a better to obtain your Kauai camping permits before your journey. For most private campsites, which we always recommend first, you can secure your permits online and also in person in the designated office.

If you opt to stay at a county campground and use a ground tent, you may request permits by going to the “County of Kauai Camping Information” webpage.

Non-residents must pay 3 dollars per night beforehand. Accepted payment methods with this particular application are bank checks as well as money orders. Nevertheless, it isn’t necessary to book your camping licenses before your arrival. You can also obtain them at the various permit offices on the island, which is usually easier.

What is the processing time for obtaining camping permits?

No matter whether you decide to go to a state or private camping ground, both online and in person reservations are possible. If you decide to go to a county camping ground, mail-in applications are easy to submit, however it can take quite some time to receive your permits. You might obtain your permits upon arrival to Kauai at the different permit offices on the island; in-person you will receive them immediately.

TESTIMONIALS


Our Happy Clients!

Exploring Kauai with a rooftop camper is a fun and unique way to explore this beautiful island! Our family of 4 spent 12 fabulous days exploring and camping. The extra tent with the rooftop provided plenty of space for us…we had an amazing time! All communication with Jonathan and Jamie was smooth and easy. They are lovely people who genuinely want to provide a great experience.

Jamie and Jonathan were excellent hosts! Even though they were on vacation, Jonathan made all accommodations very easy and helped us with every step. Note: if you are under 25, make sure to let them know to make sure you are covered by insurance! Jonathan helped us work it out and we had a great time

Duncan

Jamie and Jonathan are by far the very best experience with Airbnb we have ever had. Truly generous human beings with big hearts. They provided wonderful suggestions, amenities, and a wonderful 5 star experience. We will certainly rent again. For our first experience in Hawaii, they made sure it was second to none. If you’re coming to Hawaii to truly experience nature and looking for a ‘no nonsense’ and easy process to explore the island the way it was meant to be, you could not attain better hosts.

We had such an amazing trip with Jamie’s camper! Jamie and Jonathan were both so kind and took their time to explain to us the ins and out of our camper. Communication was easy and the beaches they recommend we visit were like paradise! Will rent again from them when we come back for sure!
