Set on a spacious, grassy spot above the Pacific Ocean, the Kipahulu Campground is a favorite among locals in the Makawao area of Hawaii. Here, campers can fall asleep at night to the sound of the crashing waves.

While this is certainly a highlight of camping at Kipahulu, the best part is considered to be waking up and campers having the Seven Sacred Pools of Oheo to themselves, just a short walk from the campground and incredibly peaceful before the main visitor rush happens. The downside to the campground is that it doesn’t offer as many amenities as other places.
