Get Off-The-Beaten-Path At Hawaii’s Captivating Camp Palehua

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.

Part of 1,600 acres of conservation and agricultural land owned by Gill ‘Ewa Lands, LLC, Camp Palehua is committed to the protection of the area’s natural environments and cultural sites as well as restoring the native forest.

Open to individuals and groups who are interested in cultural preservation, outdoor adventure, environmental education, and teamwork experiences, Camp Palehua is as fun as it gets.

From cabins and bunkhouses to tent camping sites, Camp Palehua has it all when it comes to accommodations. Available for groups, families, and individuals, Camp Palehua’s cabins come with fully-stocked kitchens, linens, pillows, and towels. There’s no roughing it here – unless that’s what you want!

Facilities include a fire pit, basketball court, pool, conference room, mess hall, and a pavilion with hibachi grills.

Depending on when you visit, Camp Palehua offers a variety of unique activities, including guided hikes, team-building experiences, service opportunities, and so much more.

Whether you’re planning a simple Oahu staycation or are dreaming of the days you can bring your congregation or coworkers for a retreat, this off-the-beaten-path destination truly has it all.
