Each unit offers proper beds, private outdoor showers, and communal kitchen facilities just steps from the water. "We stayed in a bungalow 7. After camping for 5 days we wanted to stay in a cabin. They have electric plugs in the common area and an outdoor communal kitchen which is nice too," noted one visitor. Bungalow 2 sits directly on the beach, while others like Bungalow 7 are positioned in more jungle-like settings with abundant wildlife. Anahola Beach Park also houses glamping options with convenient amenities including picnic tables, rinse showers, and bathroom facilities for luxury outdoor stays.

The location provides immediate water access with swimming and snorkeling opportunities in protected areas of the bay. A guest mentioned, "Right at the water and reasonably priced! Clean bathroom/showers, very friendly camp hosts." Both glamping sites require advance permits or reservations, available online with rates significantly lower than standard hotel accommodations.

    Anahola Beach Park

    Loved this camp ground

    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

    Anahola Beach Park

    Off the beaten path and worth it

    Kumu Camp is a homestead with tentalos which are basically framing with canvas over and beds with an outdoor shower. They are a little hard to get in touch with but once you do nothing beats the value on Kauai. You open your door and there is the beach! Call, don't email. They never responded to my email.

    Kumu Camp

    Nice campgrounds

    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.

    Anahola Beach Park

    Top 5 on Kauai

    This campground features both male / female bathrooms and has two outdoor showers available. The showers are "cold", which in Hawaii, means room temperature, so after the initial shock, it actually becomes quite comfortable. I do not recall if there were picnic tables, but at the most maybe one or two. It does require a permit, but those are easy and cheap (~$3). I elected to post up under the tree section, which provided a good cover, flat ground and actually had a downed tree that I used to set up backpacking stove for coffee in the morning. There were a few small fires on the beach throughout the stay, but I don't believe it is technically legal to do so. Overall, my favorite place to stay in Kauai with the given options due to the recent storms and North Shore closures.

    Anahola Beach Park

    Locals and Yoga Retreat

    Anahola is another local spot for the homeless. Some camps are a bit overrun with folks living out of tents, cars and broken down trucks. Just North of the proper campsite is a Yoga Retreat that offers campsites for $35 a night and offers maintained showers, tentalows (little cabins and deck pads for your tents). The beach is beautiful here but the feel is a little less than comfortable when traveling with all gals. Variety of folks frequent the actual beach for day-use and it’s lovely for that. You’ll want a four-wheel drive vehicle to drive on the beach and the I paved roads throughout this park.

    Kumu Camp

    Fantastic!

    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.

    Anahola Beach Park

    Had a blast!

    My husband and I toured Kaui for 3 weeks, so we were able to visit tons of parks and beaches. On our second week we came to Anahola Beach Park for the day and we really liked it. The waters in some areas were pretty rough so we stayed away from those areas. We did find some areas that had great calm waters that we were able to swim in and do some snorkeling. These areas though were really busy because everyone wanted to be in the water. One thing we noticed about this park was that there was quite a bit of trash on the sand area. We picked up a lot of trash and threw it away. I was surprised about this. There are also some great restaurants nearby. We ate at a Mexican place and it was super yummy, and great price. The weather was really nice when we came, although it was very muggy. I also must have been gotten bitten by some sand fleas here because the next morning I woke up and my ankles had a ton of bites on them. It got a little chilly in the afternoon, and also rained a bit. This is normally for Kaui l, though. Always be prepared and bring a jacket!

    Lucy Wright Beach Park

    Nothing special, but only stayed 1 night

    Lucy Wright Beach in Kauai was an okay place to stay. My husband and I honestly just stayed here for a night, so it didnt bother us. There was garbage everywhere it seemed like, so it wasnt very clean.This is located near the Waimea Canyon, which was great for us because we wanted to do some hiking in the area. Highly recommend hiking in the Waimea Canyon- its gorgeous. Go early, though, to beat the heat of the scorching sun!! The water isnt the crystal blue color like some of the other beaches in kauai- but again that didnt bother us because we werent there long. Get your permit ahead of time. We got it online before we went to Kauai. Another downside is that there were a lot of homeless camps. Another reason why we only stayed here 1 night. We honestly just stayed here because we knew we were getting up early to hike the next morning. We were maybe here for 6hrs total.

    Lucy Wright Beach Park

    A Softball Field

    This is not an excellent place to stay, it’s a softball field at the edge of Waimea Town and is a campground for a number of homeless people. The bathrooms are dingy and not well maintained, the beach is a mess and the water is murky. As three women traveling alone, we didn’t really feel safe so we opted to a few other spots on the island.
