A favorite destination for fans of wilderness hiking, Halape is situated along the southern shore of the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The campsite is certainly off the beaten path at 7.7 miles from the nearest trailhead, requiring quite a bit of a challenging hike to get there.
A backcountry permit, which doesn’t cost anything, is also required to camp in the Halape Campground. The hike to the campground traverses through mostly non-native grasses in order to reach the sandy small beach where campers can pitch a tent near swaying coconut trees and are rewarded with expansive views.
