Nāmakanipaio Campground

Nāmakanipaio Campground spans across an open grassy field surrounded by tall eucalyptus and ōhiʻa trees at 4,000 feet elevation in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

The campground was established as part of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park's infrastructure to provide overnight accommodations for visitors exploring the volcanic landscapes.

The grounds incorporate native ōhiʻa trees, which hold deep significance in Hawaiian culture and reflect the traditional connection between land and people.

The facility offers ten rental cabins with beds and linens, twelve individual tent sites with parking access, and five walk-in camping spots with shared restrooms.

Campers can observe the red glow from Kīlauea volcano reflected on clouds at night, visible from the campground's location one mile from the caldera.
