Camping on Oahu – The 7 Best Oahu Camping Spots



Oahu does not have any National Parks you can camp in, but
there are county and state parks that will let you pitch a
tent. Remember the general Hawaii rules that the windward
(east-facing) side of any island will be rainier than the
leeward (west-facing) and the south side may be windier.

Also remember that although crime is relatively low in Hawaii,
it does exist, so stay together, or near other people and keep
an eye on your stuff, just to be safe. Don’t leave anything
valuable in your car, as there are some vehicle break-ins in quiet
areas, just like any other tourist area.

Oahu State Parks and Reserves that allow Camping

Most state parks have a campsite fee of $5.00 or $10.00, and you
need a permit (free). Also, there is no camping on Wednesday
or Thursday night in most of these sites. Get more info
and download a permit application at the DLNR website for the following campsites.
