Summary
It’s free and first-come, first-served—no reservations or permits required. Amenities are minimal: pit toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings; no drinking water or RV hookups, and access is via a rough, 4WD-recommended road. Dispersed camping is allowed nearby with a permit. The vibe is quiet and secluded, ideal for nature lovers. Nearby highlights include the Pihea and Alaka'i Swamp trails. Best time to visit is during drier months (May–September), as the area is often wet and muddy.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
