Let’s Go Camping

Camping Locations on Kauaʻi

Nāpali Coast State Wilderness Park

Nāpali Coast is one of the most recognizable and beautiful coastlines in the world. The pali, or cliffs, provide a rugged grandeur of deep, narrow valleys ending abruptly at the sea, with extensive stone walled terraces on the valley bottoms where Hawaiians once lived and cultivated taro. The campsites on the Nāpali Coast are at the end of Kalalau Trail, an 11-mile trail that traverses five lush, tropical valleys before ending at Kalalau Beach where it is blocked by sheer, fluted cliffs.
