While numerous camping spots are available across the Big Island, permits are typically necessary for most, particularly those within state and county parks. Regulations and amenities vary by location, so it’s advisable to consult the provided resources to ascertain permit requirements.
Conversely, permits are unnecessary for camping on private lands. Explore platforms like the Hipcamp website for a comprehensive listing of camping options on the Big Island.
For all 10 county parks permitting camping, obtaining permits is obligatory. Reserve your campsite conveniently through the official Big Island Camp Reservation System. Permits are purchasable up to a year in advance; refer to the camp reservation website for pricing and additional information.
Within the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, two designated camping areas are available: Namakanipaio and Kulanaokuaiki campsites. Camping fees for these sites are $15 or $10 per night, as of 2024, in addition to the park entrance fees. Camping spots are allocated on a first-come-first-served basis, and no separate camping permit is required within the park.
Visitors are advised to pack warm clothing due to the cooler temperatures at night, particularly given the elevation. For further details on the campsites, interested individuals can refer to the NPS camping website.
