Camping on Oahu

·

With its sugary sands, surf beaches, tropical rainforest backdrop, and melting pot of Pacific culture, Oahu is Hawaii’s flagship vacation destination. Whether you want beachside adventures, panoramic-view hikes, or history, Oahu has everything in abundance, and you can take your pick of beachside villas and coastal campsites. Spring and fall are popular times to visit Oahu, with balmy temperatures and festivals such as the King Kamehameha Floral Parade and Aloha Festival taking place, but winter campers can still enjoy average daytime temperatures of 80°F (26°C), and this is prime time for surfing.

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!

Totonami Farm is a little farm that we are slowly building from the ground up, one project at a time. Things here are always changing and growing. You may see garden beds being prepared, new areas being cleaned up, little construction projects happening, or ideas that are still coming to life. It is not a polished resort or a finished commercial farm — it is simply our home, our farm, and something we are creating with our own hands. We keep bees, raise chickens, grow food, and are learning every day how to live a little more closely with the land. We try to keep things simple, use pesticide-free and organic practices whenever we can, and slowly become more self-sufficient over time. Staying at Totonami Farm means being part of a place that is still growing and taking shape, where every season brings something new. Some days are quiet, some days we are working on a new project, and there is always something happening around the farm. More than anything, we hope this can be a place where you can slow down, enjoy the North Shore, spend time around nature and animals, and experience a small part of the life we are building here. We are still learning, growing, and figuring things out along the way, and we are happy to share that journey with the people who stay with us. Instagram: @totonamifarm_hawaii

Welcome to Our Glamping Property 🌴 Welcome to our family-run glamping property! Located on 0.6 acres with 8 units, our property offers a shared, peaceful outdoor environment where guests can slow down, disconnect, and enjoy the beauty of Hawaiʻi. The property is completely off-grid, and as a small family-run operation, we do our best to continually maintain, improve, and update the property for our guests. Our simple “summer camp” style tiny cabin is designed to create a distraction-free space to reconnect with nature and make lasting memories. The cabin is cozy and intentionally simple, giving you a comfortable place to rest after a day of exploring the island. One of the highlights of the property is the incredible stargazing. On clear nights, step outside, look up, and enjoy the stars away from the distractions of everyday life. And when you're ready for some beach time, the beach is just a half-mile away! Because the property is shared with other guests, you'll also have the opportunity to swap stories around the fire, meet fellow travelers from around the world, and enjoy the feeling of being part of a little community in the wild. 🐈 Meet Patches: One of the unexpected highlights of staying here is Patches, our friendly resident cat who has made the property her home. She loves meeting guests and may stop by to say hello—or even invite herself into your cabin! Many of our guests love her visits. If you'd rather keep her outside, simply keep your door closed or gently shoo her back out. Come slow down, unplug, and enjoy a different side of Hawaiʻi.

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.

Oahu camping guide

Where to go

North Shore

With more than 51 (count ‘em!) beaches and waves reaching up to 30 feet in the winter months, Oahu’s North Shore boasts some of Hawaii’s most legendary surf breaks. Check into the state campground at Malaekahana or snag an oceanside campsite at Hau'ula Beach, go surfing and snorkeling at Sunset Beach or Waimea Beach, or head inland to explore the Waimea Valley and cool off beneath Waimea Falls.

Windward Coast

Hemmed in by the lush peaks of the Koʻolau Mountains, Oahu’s eastern shore offers a change of pace from the buzzing resort towns of the North Shore. Grab a kayak or paddleboard to paddle the coast at Kailua and Lanikai beaches, pitch your tent by the hiking trails of the Ahupua'a O Kahana State Park, or camp with a view of the mountains at Ho'omaluhia Botanical Garden.

Leeward Coast

The western Leeward or Wai’anae Coast is Oahu’s least developed, making it the ideal spot to escape the crowds. Set out on a scenic road trip, climbing through the Waianae Mountains and hopping between sleepy seaside towns and secluded beaches along the coast. Campers can take their pick of five public beachside campgrounds, but make sure you get a permit.

South Oahu

Most travelers pass through Honolulu, Hawaii’s fun-loving capital, where the only urban campsite is located at Sand Island, right on Honolulu Harbor. Once you’ve explored the city, head out to Waikiki Beach, famous for its white sands, surf schools, and nightlife, or continue east to the Hanauma Bay marine conservation area to snorkel amid schools of tropical fish and sea turtles.

Central Oahu

Just west of Honolulu, the National Historic Landmark of Pearl Harbor is the site of one of the most pivotal World War II attacks, and it’s the main reason why travelers venture into central Oahu. Inland, there’s camping at Keaiwa Heiau State Recreation Area, known for its sacred Keaiwa Heiau temple.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, you cannot camp anywhere in Oahu. Camping is only allowed in designated campgrounds and campsites in state parks, county parks, or private lands like at a Hipcamp site. Camping in public parks such as Malaekahana State Recreation Area, Bellows Field Beach Park, and Kualoa Regional Park requires a camping permit obtained in advance. Additionally, it is important to follow all rules and regulations in order to protect the natural environment and ensure a safe and enjoyable camping experience on the island. See more Oahu camping.
