    Camping on Oahu?

    Couple of friends of mine are planning a trip in November. My best friend is what one would call cheap. He wants to rent a van and sleep at a park. I told him this was probably a no go, but that he should be able to camp somewhere on the island.

    Any suggestions? I used to live out there, but I was in the Marines, so the only camping I did was training related. Are there any beaches where they could camp?

Also as long as you feed them and give them somewhere to sleep, they'll be your friend....and again, don't poke them.

    Unfortunately, even here in Paradise, your friend may be taking a risk doing that, especially if he would be going alone, or even with a couple of friends. Of course, if he's a big Polynesian guy, he wold have no problem. Even at Bellows, which is military I would think twice. Random beach parks can be sketchy, especially on the west side.

    I'm a Scout leader, we camp almost every month, and we tend to go to the better/safer sites.


    Bellows (military side only!) public side on weekends can get stupid. Nice beaches easy access


    Hoomaluhia botanical garden. Hiking and some fishing (has a roving guard and no public access after dark. 6 pm to 9am)


    There are also several hike backpack camp sites that are under utilized... But you have to hump everything in and back out
