Located at the northernmost tip of the Hawaii group of islands, Kauai is known for its lush tropical forests and cerulean waters. With this kind of natural beauty, it is no wonder that people want to get as close to it as possible. Hidden within Kauai is a treasure trove of camp sites just waiting to be discovered.

Camping is one of the most popular activities in this island. It is not surprising considering the unique ecosystem and breathtaking vistas of Kauai. Hiking through the many nature trails and taking advantage of the fishing are only some of its most popular attractions.

There are a total of 13 areas for camping to choose from. These sites range from untamed jungles to serene beach spots. Six are considered as state campgrounds while the rest are under the county. But no matter the kind, all of these areas show the diversity and beauty that the island of Kauai is renowned for.

Choosing a campground to stay in depends on the kind of experience you want. Some sites are removed from the comforts of modernity, allowing for an authentic adventure. Others, like the Polihale State Park have amenities such as running water and picnic areas.

Another way to make the trip more convenient is to take advantage of the nearby stores that carry camping equipment. Since 90 percent of Kauai is inaccessible by road, packing light is the way to go. Camping gear is available for rent or for sale at the Pedal ‘n Paddle in Hanalei, Waipouli in Kapaa. Koloa’s Discount Variety, Wal-Mart, and K-Mart also have equipment for sale.

One of the most important things to know about camping in Kauai is that a permit is required. Permits should be applied for up to six months in advance, particularly for the months of May to December. For more popular areas like the Na Pali Coast and Kokee, request for permits up to a year before the planned trip as there are a lot of visitors waiting to be accommodated.

Camping permits for state parks are free of charge but only lets visitors to stay for five consecutive days. For county camping areas, permits for Hawaii state residents and children under the age of 18 are free. Others have to pay the minimal amount of $3 per night.

To get a permit, copies of valid identification cards such as licenses and passports are required. The names of accompanying children must also be submitted. This is to ensure the safety of all the visitors to the campgrounds. Expect the permits to be periodically checked so make sure that they are ready for inspection.

If you still want to enjoy the beauty of Kauai, a 30-day period must elapse before a new permit for the same park is issued.

For more information on state parks, contact the Division of State Parks in Lihue at (808) 274-3444. Campgrounds are open every day of throughout the year.
