With endless summer weather comes endless opportunities for summer activities: swimming, surfing, hiking, and perhaps my personal favorite – camping trips. From campgrounds nestled along the coast to campsites tucked away deep in the rainforest and accessible only via hiking trail, Hawaii’s campgrounds are truly second to none. Today, we’re sharing an off-the-beaten-path gem you probably haven’t heard of before, but we’re sure you’ll love it.
Welcome to Camp Palehua! Nestled in the Waianae Mountains on Oahu’s leeward coast, this one-of-a-kind camp will make you feel a million miles away from it all and features commanding views of the southern and western coastline of the island.
