🌿 Camping with Aloha

Camping on Kauaʻi is a privilege. Please help keep these spaces open and welcoming by following a few important guidelines:

  • Permits are required for most county campgrounds — apply in advance and keep your permit with you.

  • Pack it in, pack it out. Trash services may be limited.

  • Respect quiet hours and neighboring campers, especially at night.

  • No fires unless specifically allowed — beach conditions change quickly.

  • Ocean safety comes first. Swimming conditions vary; observe signs and talk with locals.

  • Mālama ʻāina — treat the land, ocean, and cultural sites with care and respect.

Mahalo for helping protect Kauaʻi so future generations can enjoy it too!
