It’s everything you wish camping could be and more! And the fact that it’s in Kauai makes it all the more special. So, get in touch with us today to embark on an unforgettable journey into the great outdoors.
Elevate Your Camping Experience
Traditional camping has its charm, but rooftop camping takes comfort and convenience to a new level. Our tents are affixed to the roofs of each vehicle and come with a built-in 3-inch foam mattress. You’ll be set up and ready to relax in a matter of minutes.
Roomy, Practical, and Secure
Our tents are designed with your comfort in mind. With ample space equivalent to a queen-sized bed, two easy-access doors, and an adjustable ladder, you’ll be perfectly positioned to enjoy the wonders of Kauai.
Plus, the tents are built to withstand both inclement weather and pesky insects. Add in available sleeping bags and extra gear options at the booking stage, and you’re in for a thoroughly prepared adventure.
Transparent Pricing for Transparent Adventures
Our daily rates are designed to fit your needs, offering you unlimited miles to roam freely. The only prerequisites? A valid driver’s license, comprehensive insurance, and a three-day minimum rental period.
Additional Services to Enhance Your Journey
Need an airport pick-up and drop-off? Or perhaps extra insurance coverage? We offer these services to make your trip as smooth as possible. We’re all about hassle-free adventures.
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

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!

The BEST way to experience the beautiful garden island! Not only a great service--transportation doubling as your lodging--but wonderful and warm hosts. Jonathan and Jamie were so kind and helpful. An absolutely wonderful trip to Kauai--thank you both!

Great experience with this company. They are very communicative and want to ensure you have a good trip and this is obvious with the lengths they go. The rental was in good condition. Jenni and Chantal were super friendly and would happily rent from them again!

My friend (first time camping) and I really enjoyed the approach that Kauai Rooftop Campers provide! Riding and camping on top of a 4Runner was outstanding.
The setup system is quite easy and intuitive, Jeni (from Kauai Rooftop Campers) made sure we had all the info needed.
We were able to interact with other campers who also were booking though Kauai Rooftop Campers, all of them seemed pleased with the experience!
We had to rebook twice but everything went very well in the end.
We had an issue with one of the State camping sites we booked for (Milloli´i beach) because we didn’t know Kauai, nevertheless, Jeni and Dona (Kumu Camp´s owner) were extremely helpful and very responsive.
So, I would highly recommend Kauai Rooftop Campers!
Additional notes and recommendations:
We agree that Kumu Camp is a great spot to stay. There are Metal/Plastic/Glass bins for recycling (even a compost bin), so make sure you don’t dispose of those recyclables in the main garbage. Please be mindful, compact metal & plastic in order to improve space, time and resources.
Don’t forget to leave every place better than you found it. We always had a container/bag at hand to collect the garbage at the camp, beaches, and other places. Microplastics and comercial tobacco butts are becoming a big issue everywhere!
We advise you not to camp in Milloli´i beach unless you have access to a boat, and the time and the knowledge for an extreme adventure. NOTE: There isn’t that much info about that site out there.
Blessings!!

As a family of 4, we combined a rooftop tent + ground tent, and it worked perfectly! The service from Kauai Rooftop Campers was excellent, they were really flexible (we even got an upgrade!) and they allowed us to store our excess luggage in their buildings for the duration of our trip. Jeni even came to us when there was a small issue, so nothing but compliments for the service we got! We stayed both at Kumu & at Koke’e state campground and had an abolute blast!

Beste Art Kauai zu erkunden. Wir hatten uns spontan dazu entschieden, da Hotel + Mietwagen schon sehr teuer sind. Buchung hat auch einen Tag for Antritt problemlos funktioniert!
Hier bekommt man ein Camping Komplettpaket, alles was man braucht ist dabei. Man muss Camping plätze im voraus reservieren. Für County parks kostet das lediglich 3$ und für State parks 10$. Achtung, man kann nicht am selben Tag reservieren sondern immer nur ein Tag im voraus! Diese müsste man eig. ausdrucken oder zumindest downloaden, da es an manchen Locations kein Empfang gibt (haben wir gemacht wurden jedoch nie kontrolliert). Diese sind zum Teil auch an super coolen Orten, die auch nur mit einem Geländewagen erreichbar sind. Deshalb auch gut Essen und Trinken einkaufen, da es dort nichts zu kaufen gibt. Die Campingplätze haben oft lediglich eine Toilette mit fließendem Wasser (manchmal auch nur ein Plumpsklo). Für drei Personen sollte man schon um die 100$ pro Tag für Essen und Trinken einplanen. Komplette Küche ist dabei sodass man auch immer Essen zubereiten kann.
Das Rooftop tent ist super bequeme und stabil (auch bei Orkanartigen Winden!). Aufbau ist auch super leicht. Leider ist es bei den meisten staatlichen Campingplätzen theoretisch “verboten”, da man nicht mit dem Auto auf den Platz fahren kann. Es ist auch noch ein normales Zelt dabei, bei den abgelegen Plätzen im Westen hatte wir aber nie ein Problem einen guten Platz auch für das Rooftop tent zu finden.
Alles in allem kann ich die Vermietung nur weiterempfehlen. Spezielle wenn man auch den Westen i.e. das Weimea Valley/off-road erkunden will. Man bekommt auch noch einen Tollen reise-guide physisch mit aktuellen Karten (manche off-road straßen fehlen leider auf Google maps) und digital auf Google maps (pins).

Camping on a Jeep Rubicon, that is an experience. We had a mega fun.
The people from Kauai Rooftop Campers are extremely helpful and very friendly. They help with all questions.
The next campground is Kumu Camping and is highly recommended.
We will definitely come back again and book a Jeep Rubicon again.

Took a trip to Kauai for the weekend to Explore in an Overland Stye Toyota 4Runner! What a treat! We were able to explore the whole island in 3 days! Well, kinda… 3 days is not enough!! From Polihale to Ke’e Beach! The whole set up was perfect everything you need!! Everything! The check in process went smoothly, and Jeni explained everything very well, and the sent us all the info to our phones, so it was readily available!! You gotta do it!! There is so much to see and do!! We hiked a ton, and went to some really epic beaches!! They give you all the info you need to have an amazing time!!

This was my second time using Kauai Rooftop Campers. If you like camping in beautiful places, this is for you! Your vehicle comes equipped with lots of practical camping gear too. Ms. Jeni will probably get you checked in and she’s very helpful, and nice, and informative. I’ll be back!
