DescriptionHome to the world famous Kalalau Trail. Napali Coast Camping Permit Info & Access With the ongoing construction to Kūhiō Highway the Division of State Parks and the public have to be flexible and patient with the management of overnight permits for the Nāpali Coast SWP. Our goal is to ensure that permits are not sold during periods when Hāʻena State Park and Nāpali Coast SWP will be inaccessible due to road closures. Camping permits will be made available at the discretion of the Division of State Parks for periods when there is anticipated to be no concerns accessing the parks. We understand these permits are in high demand and that scheduling remains difficult during these times. We ask that you please be patient as we all work together to recover from the impacts of the April 2018 floods.
Anticipated Closures for Kuhio Highway
Camping permits for the Kalalau Trail are only issued for Kalalau Valley however the permits allow for 1-night camping (each way) at Hanakoa. Hanakoa and Kalalau, are the only two authorized areas for camping along the Kalalau trail. Hanakoa is roughly 6 miles from the trailhead. Hikers are encouraged to stop/camp at Hanakoa if they possess a permit for Kalalau and need a break or antcipate bad weather. A stopover at Hanakoa, counts as one night, and therefore reduces the total number of nights permitted at Kalalau. Rates: Hawaii Residents: $15 per person per night. Non-residents: $20 per person per night. • The maximum length of stay along the Kalalau Trail is 5 consecutive nights LocationTrailhead at end of Kuhio Highway (Hwy 56) in Ha'ena State Park; Kalalau and Miloli‘i Valleys accessible by kayak from May 15 through September 7.
