The Department of Land and Natural Resources, Division of Forestry and Wildlife provides camping facilities for public recreation. Campers must make reservations online and obtain camping permits before their trip. To address health and safety issues related to COVID-19, new conditions for camping permits have been developed.

• Be advised that campgrounds may be closed without much advanced notice due to shifting nature of COVID-19. It is recommended that you check the camping website just prior to your camping trip for the latest updates.

• Campsites are not an allowable travel quarantine facility. Non-residents must provide proof of quarantine completion prior to reservation date.

A long 8 hour hike on the Puu Ki Waialae Trail will place you at the Waialae campsite. You will find an open grassy area next to the Waialae Stream in the Na Pali-Kona Forest Reserve/Alakai Wilderness Preserve. The site offers a small picnic shelter and a composting toilet. Because of the length of the hike, the preferred means of access is horseback riding. See the brochure, Hiking Safely in Hawaii.
