The Hawai‘i County Department of Parks and Recreation wishes to announce that
starting at 7:45 a.m. Tuesday, January 21, camping permits for Kohanaiki Beach Park
will be available online at https://hawaiicounty.ehawaii.gov.
Park users may visit the Internet site to check on space availability and purchase
permits required for overnight stays at Kohanaiki Beach Park, also known as “Pine
Trees,” located north of Kailua-Kona. Hawai‘i County’s newest and largest campground,
Kohanaiki Beach Park has accommodations for up to 80 campers nightly. No camping
is allowed on Tuesday or Wednesday nights.
Camping permits also may be obtained by applying in person at either of the
Department’s administrative offices located at 101 Pauahi Street, Suite 6 in Hilo and in
Building B of the West Hawai‘i Civic Center, 74-5044 Ane Keohokālole Highway in
Kailua-Kona.
Nightly camping fees for Hawai‘i residents are $5 for adults, $2 for junior campers 13 to
17 years old, and $1 for children 12 and younger. The nonresident rate is $20 per night,
regardless of age. A valid Hawai‘i driver’s license or state-issued identification is
required to verify Hawai‘i residency. First and last names of all campers are needed to
obtain a Hawai‘i County camping permit.
The online service provider imposes a nonrefundable $1 per-night processing fee for
each adult and junior camping permit. Ehawaii.gov provides the software program for
issuing camping permits and collects the processing fee.
