Camp in heaven above the clouds
Absolutely beautiful camp site above the clouds. Nearby trails through beautiful forests and with jaw-dropping views. Wake up early for the sunrise and pre-dawn birdsong. Even if you can't see too far due to clouds, it's a lovely once-in-a-lifetime campsite. Make sure you have a good tent! It is windy up here and the campsite is very exposed. I watched so many people with cheap dome tents struggle and/or have their poles snap or invert. A good guide for if your tent will survive is if it has aluminum (instead of fiberglass) poles and has a ranfly that goes down to the ground with lots of guyline points. Chilly all year due to the elevation. Like much of Hawaii, expect to experience at least a brief rain shower. Nice clean facilities live up to National Park standards.
