The best campgrounds near Honolulu, Hawaii with climbing

With the big city juxtaposed against the blue water and sandy beaches, camping at Honolulu is the ideal combination of fun and relaxation. Enjoy some coastal camping on Sand Island, located on the Honolulu Harbor. There are beaches, hiking trails, snorkeling, and even a small community on the island itself with watersport rentals and eateries. After getting your fill of lazing on the beach and swimming, head across the channel to Honolulu proper where you can find the Polynesian Cultural Center, the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument, the Battleship Missouri Memorial, and downtown shopping. Head a little further inland to the Honolulu Watershed Forest Reserve. Both the Lulumahu Falls and Monoa Falls are stunning hikes. For great views, hike up to the Nu'uanu Pali Lookout. If hiking is your thing, take the Makapu'u Point Lighthouse Trail. Stop along the way at Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve and the Sea Life Park. Whether you want to explore nature or combine camping with some city fun, Honolulu has it.

Between the campsite and the bathroom (you don't walk down this hill, but you can stand here and look this way.

My favorite spot on Oahu, I will be back. It's not as level as I would like, but it has a good nearby bathroom and shower, a good view, and relatively peaceful. Bring earplugs, the wind turbines can be loud, here and more so in the bamboo sites.

Wow!! This is the best Hip Camp ever and this is what Hawaii should look like. It is so beautiful here. Christian’s handiwork has turned this into a paradise. The toilet/ sink area is great but the outdoor hot shower where you walk between the banana trees is incredible. The camp sites are the perfect size and level. The pool is nice and we even had a fire in the fire pit! Christian’s hospitality was greatly appreciated.

Very nice quiet place to camp. Beautiful view and the nice bathroom with hot showers was a big plus! Yes the rooster crows early but greatly preferable to road noise. The soft swoosh of a nearby water mill was nice background noise. Highly recommend!

It is beautiful and peaceful, site 1 is the most level, if you can't book there site 4 is a straight back in, site three is off to the side and hard to back into if you need rear up. These four sites are separated by a picnic table so, maybe 15 feet between them, with clean sightlines, you will see everyone in all four. The gentleman that greeted me moved me from 3 to 4 because we couldn't easily get a Chrysler Pacifica into 3. Shower and bathroom are clean and lovely. Some construction during the day as they are building a new cabin, some military flights at night on the third night. Couldn't hit the wifi from inside the van. Borrowed an extension cord, was putting out power, but not enough to charge my phone or use my laptop. Very friendly dogs and a duck. I would absolutely stay here again!

We loved camping in the pick and play cabin, It was nice and tidy, convenient parking place just in front of the cabin. The guests Christian and Jenny were super friendly, they welcomed us to pick fruits from the garden and we also could cook a steak on their grill ! The only downside was the noise from the road passing nearby, which was annoying during the night.

1 night at Living Circle Farms Hawaii

This was such a cool stay! It doesn’t have the conveniences as the resorts, so 1 night made for a great adventure during our stay on the island (I could’ve stayed a few more though). My friend and I shared the bed while my husband slept on the cot (camping chair that’s horizontal), making it a little crammed (our fault, owners warned me several times during booking), but it would be PERFECT for 2. There was a manager that was super helpful, almost made it seem like a resort with how accommodating he was (making our fire, getting us extra towels, etc). I wanted this exact experience, I’m very happy I found this place. The grounds were beautiful and the dogs were great. Will definitely come back here next time we’re on the island!

Weekend Trip to Living Circle Farms Hawaii

What an amazing place to stay. Kristian, the farm manager, made our short layover in HNL the highlight of our trip. From fresh fruits picked in the morning to stargazing at night by the fire pit with Kira and Minnie (the resident farm dogs), you cannot go wrong with choosing this place over generic hotels in Oahu. We stayed at the small cabin, which was convenient for us to explore the beaches during the day and come back at night to relax surrounded by nature. Didn’t get bit by any mosquitoes either! Every detail put into this place was exquisite and thoughtful. Very clean shared flushable compost toilets and outdoor shower. Will definitely be back!

We loved our cabin at this lovely farm and would call it „glamping“. We picked a papaya this morning from the tree, which was the best in our life! Same with the bananas and passion fruits! It is so special over there! The cabin is quite comfortable with washrooms and shower outside. They have a fireplace and you can even use some watersports equipment. Sounds in the night you need to get used to, but that´s a part of this experience, same as the sky full of stars! The hosts are very friendly! We loved it over there! Go for it!
