Pālāʻau State Park Campground

Hikers exploring Molokai's diverse terrain will find Pālāʻau State Park Campground positioned within the 234-acre state park in Kualapuu. The campground operates year-round at $20 per night with reservations available through Hawaii State Parks. Tent camping only, as RVs cannot access the sites.

Basic amenities include restrooms, trash service, and firewood availability. Cell service reaches the area, and alcohol is permitted. Campers report notably quiet conditions compared to more populated Hawaiian islands, with jake C. noting the uninhabited nature of Molokai contributes to the lack of crowds. The park's elevated location provides views across the island's varied landscapes, from coastal areas to interior mountains.

Travel Healthcare Job

While in HI, for a travel job we got to experience this beautiful island. Molokai is not only beautiful, but it has the full range of landscapes, from beach to mountains, from desert-like atmosphere to rain forest. The beaches are not only full of beautiful white sand, but lacking crowds of people! It is the most laidback of all of the islands, and probably has the most Hawaiians still living there. The people are so nice and friendly. There is so much history on such a small island. If you want a truly relaxing vacation, this is the spot!

No park entrance fee

There is no park entrance fee but there is a cost to some. The views here are amazing and Molokai is a very uninhabited island, so this place is very peaceful.
