Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Ewa Beach, HI
Sand Island State Recreation Area and Bellows Field Beach Park accommodate pets with different amenities across Oahu. Sand Island features camping on a less crowded beach with shower facilities, drinking water, and electric hookups for RV campers bringing pets. Bellows offers tent sites, RV spaces, and cabin options for pet owners with picnic tables, drinking water, and showers. Both locations maintain clean grounds with trash collection and toilet facilities while allowing fires at Bellows but prohibiting them at Sand Island. The campgrounds receive moderate ratings from visitors, with Sand Island averaging 3.7 stars and Bellows Field Beach Park rated at 4.4 stars. The water at Sand Island provides good conditions for novice surfers and children despite not being the most scenic beach on the island.
Camp Mokuleia and Kahana Campground provide additional pet-friendly options with beach access and mountain views. Kahana Campground positions campsites directly on the beach with picnic tables at most sites and new bathroom facilities across the street. The bay offers protected waters for swimming and paddleboarding most of the year, occasionally attracting surfers and bodyboarders when eastern swells arrive. Campsites can be fairly close together without clear sectioning between them, but each provides sufficient space for tents and pet accommodation. The location delivers stunning sunrise views over the horizon and sunsets behind the mountains, creating a backdrop reminiscent of old Hawaii. Campers should note that sites are positioned along the main road, limiting privacy and requiring crossing the street to access bathroom facilities.
