Short Summary
what one would amagin HI to be like
Comments:
Best campground on the Island (yes, been to them all). At a rate of $3 per head per night, Kauai can be inexpensive. Site has perfect protected beach for snockeling, picnic tables, rest room with outside cold showers (they do have privacy fence aound them), we used solar water bags for nice warm showers, just lay on picnic table till afternoon. During the Winter, whales come from Alaska to give birth in the warm waters, watched one breach once without lifting head from pillow. Some homeless use the beach, they are friendly, respectful, all watch over everyones sites, we left stuff on picnic table (stove, dishes, etc.) not one bothered anything. We met campers from all around the world as well, was interesting. Being from Maine, we carry LLBean credit cards, we ordered new camping equipment from them, useing card got it shipped to Kauai free. We needed a address to ship to, rented a room ($50 night) at International Hostel, they stored our stuff till we arrived, LLBean sent it there so they got it just days before we arrived, as we asked. Campground wasn't crowded, locals don't camp in the "winter". Temps ranged from highs in the high 70's to low 60's at night (we thought perfect). Some rain showers can be expected, but we found this beach to have less than many further along the north shore, as when the clouds backed up from the mountains, they didn't quite reach the campground. The roar of the breakers out on the protecting reefs soon put us asleep nights, we missed it when we moved inland. Would highly recomend this campground, hope to stay there again. This is a county campground, and as all county campgrounds on the Island, closes one day a week to camping (differant days for differant campgrounds).
