The best dog-friendly camping in Hawaii

·

The Hawaiian islands are a tropical paradise of beaches, mountains, jungles, and volcanoes, and a popular destination for many travelers, pet owners included. Pets can enter Hawaii, assuming certain conditions like rabies vaccinations have been met, with a five-day quarantine period. Public dog-friendly Hawaii camping is very limited, but options include pet-friendly campgrounds at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island, Haleakalā National Park, some county parks on Maui, Ahupua'a ‘O Kahana State Park on Oahu, and Koke'e State Park on Kauai. For more options, look to private campgrounds with tent sites, campervan sites, or cabins near Hilo, Kahului, Kaunakakai, and the North Shore of Oahu, where you can stay with your dog near the beach, in the rainforest, and near volcanoes. Always check before bringing your dog along for exploring, as leashed dogs are allowed on some beaches, parks, and trails, but not all.

Waimanalo, HI · 6 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
This is a breathtaking space that our family has poured many decades and multiple generations into. We are surrounded by jungle, with a freshwater stream running through the entire property and unobstructed mountain views. If you’re especially sensitive to mosquitos, bugs, geckos, free roaming chickens or other elements to be expected in nature, this might not be the place for you. Waimanalo is a small agricultural town filled with nurseries, horse stables, and a high concentration of Hawaiian homes. It remains mostly undeveloped and authentic, and we aim to keep it that way. Outsiders do not often get the opportunity to stay back here, but we welcome respectful travelers looking for an authentic experience who can appreciate this privilege. While nestled against the mountains, we're just a five minute drive from the beach. We are fifteen minutes from Kailua town, where you'll find several grocery stores, shops, and restaurants. This is a working farm. While we are very hospitable, we are not in the business of hospitality. I am happy to accommodate travelers, but I am not here at your beck and call. If that is the experience you are seeking, I think you would be happier elsewhere. We appreciate all of your bookings, and profits go directly back into farm infrastructure and new fruit trees. Thank you for looking!

🌺 Wild Blue Waters – Secluded Oceanfront Paradise Perched high atop lava cliffs, Wild Blue Waters is where Hawaii’s untamed beauty greets you at every turn. This is more than a campsite—it’s a private sanctuary wrapped in jungle greens and kissed by the endless blue of the Pacific.

Just beyond your tent, the ocean roars against black volcanic shores, while the sunrise paints the horizon in fiery reds and golds. Every moment here is alive with nature’s rhythm—untamed, vibrant, unforgettable. Between adventures, indulge in comfort: pure mountain well water to refresh you, a spacious hot shower, pristine restrooms, a crystal-clear pool, and a jacuzzi beneath the stars. By day, explore; by night, soak, sip, and let the waves serenade you to sleep. This is not just camping—it’s immersion. A rare blend of wilderness and ease. Wild Blue Waters is where your Hawaiian adventure begins. Note: All water is supplied daily by our cool mountain-fed well, and the land is lovingly guarded by five friendly ranch dogs—loyal companions who quickly win your heart and keep the property safe and welcoming.

Totonami Farm is a small, hands-on farm rooted in respect for the land and the rhythms of Hawaiʻi, shaped by soil, waves, and time. We keep bees, grow food for our own self-production, and work every day toward greater food sovereignty and resilience. What we grow and raise is meant not only to sustain us but also to support and inspire others. Our approach is simple and intentional: organic practices, pesticide-free cultivation, and a commitment to working as close to off-grid as possible. We believe in caring for the soil, honoring the ecosystem, and giving back to the land that gives us so much every day. We love sharing this place and the opportunity to experience what it means to work with the land in Hawaiʻi—whether that’s learning, observing, helping out, or simply slowing down and reconnecting with nature. Totonami Farm is about community, stewardship, and growing together.

Captain Cook, HI · 3 sites · Tents, RVs
As all the land here is born of lava, many moons ago this land began to host plants and critters. Long after, it was sculpted and a number of families and farmers have contributed to what we have today. An abundance of fruit and vegetables within sight of the ocean. Peaceful breezes and warming sun make for unparalleled tranquility. Today the land still gives back to its visitors. Come recharge. As this is agricultural lands, there are many critters. Dogs, chickens, pheasants, peacock, mongoose, and many birds. Tge invasive coqui frog is annoying to some and calming to others. The micro climate here swings from warm and dry to wet quickly. Best to always prepare for rain. There is snorkeling, beaches, local food, Cafe, BBQ, poke, fish-n-chips, grocery, Sunday farmers market and hiking nearby. It is peaceful here, but also an active farming community. As an organic farm, we put alot of effort into soil building and as such, there are soft places that will be damaged by the weight of a vehicle. Staying on the driveway is best. We will guide you to where you need to go. Our road is paved, but bumpy. Any vehicle will make it without damage if driven slowly. 1 to 4mph tops. *Be sure to avoid the camper rental companies that restrict certain roads. Aloha and have a great day.

Kaneohe, HI · 5 sites · Tents, Lodging
One of the most beautiful places in Hawai`i. We are at the top of a hill in a secluded and secure Homestead farm overlooking Kane`ohe Bay and Mokapu (and the Marine Corps Base) as well as the Pali (cliffs). We are nestled, in a jungle, in the Ko`olau mountain range. We have ocean access from the property (by crossing the road). Nearly are places to get in the water (such as Ka`a`awa and Ku`aloa Beach Park). We are also close to civilization and Kualoa Ranch. We generally see the stars and the sun and moon rise. We also see the colors of the Bay change with the tides, clouds, wind, light. We are focused on education about Hawai`i, being kind to animals (and all life, including humans), and we are privileged to be able to share our aloha as well as farm bounty. We grow chili peppers, ulu (breadfruit), kalo (taro), noni, vegetables, bananas, olena (turmeric), ginger, etc. Not pictured is the common kitchen area. We have access to Reiki, massage, and other types of services. We have kayaks, surfboards, general snorkel and beach gear, SUPs, and connections to local businesses for other opportunities (e.g., horseback riding, sailing, rowing, etc.). There are surfing, kayaking, swimming, snorkeling, scuba, horseback riding, and hiking options nearby. We are also conveniently near a mall and many great places to eat. It is also lovely to hang out here at the farm and enjoy the peace, away from concrete and traffic congestion. There are places to explore and a steep climb one can hike to get to the edge of the property where there are many and even more spectacular views. We are a real homestead and aspiring organic farm focused on Hawaiian Heritage plants and a Sanctuary for animals. We have many Native Hawaiian plants, superfoods, and culturally important plants. We also have Bucket and Scream (our goats), Venus, Zenith, and Sweetie (farm cats), Ipo (Australian Shepard farm dog), turkeys (Royal Palms), and a bunch of chickens. It is possible to get around in the near area, and on and off the property, on The Bus. The Bus stop is down a hill about 5 minutes away. We are always involved in community and local food, so let us know your interests. & let us know if you want to plant plants, weed bad grass, attend a cacao ceremony, or donate to a good cause.

Want to learn how to live on a tropical island? Take a cue from the native Hawaiians and get a first hand look when you visit Ahupua’a ‘O Kahana State Park. This is a “living park” where over 30 native families live on the land and also help school the visitors on a different (better?) way to live. See how the food is grown, how the land is irrigated, and how harmonious existence is possible, despite what modern society tells us. Hit the trails to get views of inaccessible remnants from ancient civilizations who lived here before western influence started meddling. Trails through the rainforest with all its muddy glory are another fun adventure and you may even score some fresh hand picked fruit! Score one of the few beach campsites so you can take your time on this sacred land, and because, it's beach camping!

Welcome to paradise! No joke, Koke’e State Park on the island of Kauai is the textbook definition of the word. Well almost anywhere on the island may fit that description, but not everywhere can you get views of the Napali Cliffs and Kalalau Valley from 4,000-feet elevation. Now that’s a view you don’t see everyday! Hit the trails to hike through native rainforest and along the rim of Waimea Canyon to arrive at some mind blowing, high elevation views. Bring the fishing pole to score some very clean trout in the rushing creeks, pick plums in the trees above, and even hunt for wild pigs in certain areas. Pitch your tent to stay awhile, and pretend you are a primitive human living off of the land in the garden of eden. You might just want to throw in the towel at your old life and live here forever more.

Honolulu, HI · 1 site
Palolo Paradise Preserve There is an exceptional slice of paradise on Oahu, close to downtown Honolulu and just 5 miles (15 minutes) from Waikiki Beach. Hidden up a mile-long, narrow, winding road, across three little bridges, and into the jungle at the back of Palolo Valley lies 14 acres of tropical beauty and a cozy tent. The tent is situated among towering trees with a view of a large grassy meadow. It is off the grid, using catchment water and solar power. A large lanai provides an ideal place to sit and enjoy the cool breezes and frequent rain showers. The 14-acre private property, surrounded by nearly endless conservation forest, offers an exceptional setting for the restoration of body and soul—a healthy and inspirational sanctuary of seclusion, peace, and tranquility. The land is a tableau of soft greens and gentle light, inviting you to reconnect with nature and improve your mental, physical, and cognitive well-being. Feel the invigoration and deep peace—the mana, the life force and energy believed to exist in all living things. It is in the forest, the soil, and the rain, all yours to enjoy in peaceful solitude, aside from the owners, who live at the far end of the property. There are several short hiking trails, as well as a valley hike leading to a private waterfall. The tent is furnished with a Civil War-era full-size bed formerly owned by the Brodhead family, whose ancestors fought in the American Revolutionary War. There is also a private shower, restroom, and BBQ grill. Umbrellas and rain jackets are provided for the frequent, and sometimes heavy, rainfall that keeps the area so green and lush. The property is forested with kukui, koa, guava, eucalyptus deglupta, eucalyptus robusta, cinnamon, banana, mountain apple, and avocado trees, along with red, white, and yellow flowering ginger and a variety of heliconias. The mission of the owners, Rick Ralston and Sue Jansen, is to restore their 14 acres to a more pristine condition by removing invasive trees and plants and reforesting the land with native Hawaiian species, complemented by carefully selected flowering plants and fruit trees to create a thriving tropical garden paradise.

Volcano Island Farm is located on the Hamakua Coast of the Big Island of Hawaiʻi. We are 10 minutes from Honokaʻa Town and 20 minutes from Waipiʻo Valley Lookout. We are a small agricultural farm with gardens, hydroponic greenhouses (coming soon), chickens for eggs, and acres of macadamia nut orchards. Most of the property is open green space with plenty of shade from trees—as long as you don’t mind the occasional falling nut. We offer two types of camping. Traditional camping is available for guests with their own tent, which can be set up anywhere near the bathhouse in the grass or under a tree. We also have tents and camping equipment available for use as needed. In addition, we offer the opportunity to stay in our restored Volkswagen van. The van sleeps a couple very comfortably with a full- to queen-size bed, a swivel chair, and interior lighting. It is cozy and comfortable and includes a picnic table and outdoor lighting in the surrounding area. The bathhouse is shared among all campers. We typically have no more than four campers at a time, so it is generally easy to share the space. The bathhouse includes a hot shower, sink with mirror, private toilet room, off-grid hot tub (heats in about 20 minutes), and an outdoor deck area for eating or relaxing. Volcano Island Farm is a calm and quiet retreat from everyday life. We look forward to hosting you and hope you enjoy your relaxing stay. Please check our website calendar or Instagram page for occasional farm events or activities that may be happening during your visit—we would love for you to join us! Mahalo and aloha.
