Best Campgrounds near Kapa‘a, HI

Stayed for five nights and loved it. A beautiful beach. It’s a locals area for sure, people drive on the beach a bit. Bungalow 7 was more in the jungle with lizards running and insects buzzing; it was also fairly connected to another unit by its deck- might not feel private if you didn’t know the other party. Bungalow 2 was beautiful! Right on the beach with the breeze. The bungalows have sweet outdoor showers, which was amazing as it was hot when we were there.

Saw many folks with rented trucks with tents on top. And just regular tenters/vanners as well. Free am coffee in a short window with cute cats.

It was a great experience for all us. Nice scenic view of the camp.

Do not stay at this campground if you have any intention of having a peaceful, quiet evening of camping. This might not happen all the time, but the night we went (Monday) they were blasting music very late into the evening and there were children blowing up fireworks everywhere.

I’m happy with people having a fun evening, but at least put the campground more than 50 feet away from an apparently major gathering place for locals.

We stayed in a bungalow 7. After camping for 5 days we wanted to stay in a cabin. They do have hot water but it does run out, so try to get their earlier in the evening. They have electric plugs in the common area but I found it to be slow. Love the beach. There are stray cats and neighborhood dogs roaming around. There is an outdoor communal kitchen which is nice too. The host is a nice lady. Anahola Beach is lovely, I camped there too.

I had a reservation there for five days but only stayed one night. There is a big homeless encampment here. Lots of adults and children live here. It’s very loud, dirty. There were other campers here but everyone didn’t come out of their tents. I heard campers asking the people who lived here to not touch their things. It was also super sunny here. I wouldn’t leave anything out. I really didn’t feel safe or comfortable here. Check out Anahola or Kumu. Or even Anini instead

I was only able to get a two day permit and this place was my fav. You can drive up to your camping spot and be right on the ocean. I loved it. Bathrooms were clean and close by, beach was lovely. Will def visit again

We have our tent set up under huge trees, next to the beach and it is gorgeous! This is tent camping at it's best. Bathrooms were well stocked and mostly clean. The other campers were quiet and respectful. We loved it. The showers are outdoors and not heated. But we swam with turtles and snorkeling was good!

We lived staying here - quiet, expansive, easy to find your own space on the beach (with four wheel drive especially, just keep going!) but it was pretty windy. Not sure how normal that is.

Camping here was incredible, right on the coast and close to the trails to beat the crowds.

I will camp here again.

We didn’t camp here but we came for the day. It was absolutely gorgeous! The hike was something out of a movie. I’ll come back here one day.

I highly recommend not camping here. We went for the day and it was pretty dirty. The waterfall is unreal though, that’s why we were there!

Beautiful beach spot. I highly recommend just spending the day here. Camping is very close together and tourists are always walking close by.

I’m almost certain that this campsite is marked twice on the map. It’s an awesome local spot!

A local had showed us this spot and raved about all of his memories made here. It’s was so beautiful and perfect for camping. The people who were there already were so friendly we ended up hanging out with them for a while.

This is hands down the best camping you’ll find. It’s close to the water, dispersed, and absolutely breathtaking! I’ll come back here one day and maybe never leave.

Gorgeous spot to come see the water. We actually met a couple who had just got married here. We became lifelong friends with them, even to this day. They’ve come across the country to stay with us, this place will always have a place in my heart.

We saw sea turtles at this beach. It was ok as far as camping. Everyone is pretty close together and tourists are always walking around and close by you. I wouldn’t say it’s ideal but it’s an experience.

All of Kauai is absolutely astonishing. This little hike to the mini falls is so beautiful. You really tone in with nature on this hike, it’s a must do!

This Beach is absolutely amazing! We came here twice on our trip and fell in love with the scenery and the people. We saw sea turtles who came up to me and swam with me. The fish are all used to people as well so it’s just a really cool experience all together!

I love Kauai so any place camping on the garden isle is great in my book. Snorkeling is good around here and be sure to hit the Kalalau too.
