Hawaii Camping Thread

yeah I’m going up Friday and just got the one night. I was going to do more but with my daughter only being one, I wanted to see how she would do.

 

Debating going up Friday or Sat. Yes, Friday would give me 2 nights, but dealing with Friday traffic sucks. What time you heading up?

 

I think we will head up mid morning to early afternoon.

 

Man, I hope it dries up before the weekend!

 

Made it up LAAATE last night. We were the only ones camping so it was great. Super nice quiet evening and morning. Got my first scratches today on the way back out and I passed a buncha tacos, any chance that was some dudes here?

 

I reserved site 7 for 18 March. My Jeep buddy and I will he up there, with my two boys if anyone has spring break off.

 

Question guys, if I go up to PF for a day do I have to pay for the pass? Like when I go camping I know I do, but just for day trips do I need to?

 

if you get the day pass/hiking permit online they charge a small admin fee ($2 or $3 I think). If you go down to the office to pick it up it’s free. Don’t know if the office is open though.

 

But go to pay for meter parking?

 

Haha....true. I guess not free either way.

 

Awesome thanks bro

 

do you have a link? I only have the camping reservation site.

Make sure the tracking station will allow you through. The permit does not guarantee access.. something I learned by going up there recently with permit in hand. Perhaps they on the same page now.

 

Is anyone going up on 4th of July?

 

I don’t see the camping open yet, is it available somewhere to reserve that isn’t on the normal website?

 

I was asking more of the day pass if anyone is going for that specific day. I've read that RIMPAC may affect if they will allow vehicles on site. Reason I asked is because I got my day pass for that day.

 

Man

We’ve gotta 4 day for the 4th, I should get a pass for the 1st or 2nd just to go up and hang out for a bit.

 

To clarify, I went on a day pass - camping permits are still not available - and the tracking station deny access.

 

Ok thanks for the heads up. Maybe i'll call before heading out?
