The Road to Hana
Fall asleep to the lullaby of the surf at this central campground, located on a shady lawn near the beach in Waiʻanapanapa State Park. It’s a great spot, but since this is the rainy side of the island, it can get wet at any time. State camping permit required. Restrooms and outdoor showers. Reservations can be made online.
Near mile marker 32.
