Homeless persons have little effect on camping in Hawaii, Mar 2 2001
By Richard McMahon - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: McMahon: Camping Hawai'i Revised (Paperback)
A previous review gives the impression that campgrounds in Hawaii are overrun with homeless people, and therefore are an unattractive place to camp. I consider this review false and misleading. Although there are some homeless people in Hawaii, as in many places, and they do sometimes camp on the state's beaches, they rarely choose to use state or city campgrounds. The reasons for this are that written permits are required at all such campgrounds, all stays are limited to a maximum of 5 days, and state parks charge a fee of $5 per day - something homeless folks cannot afford. There are a few campgrounds where demonstrators (not necessarily homeless) have staged "sit ins," protesting such things as loss of Hawaiian sovereignty, lack of affordable housing, and other social issues. However, if such a situation occurs, a prospective camper will be made aware of it when he applies for a permit, and can choose to go elsewhereHawaii has many beautiful campgrounds, both on the ocean and in forested areas. They provide a wonderful, hassle-free outdoor experience for thousands of people every year. It would be a shame to avoid using them based on one inaccurate report. And Camping Hawaii is the perfect reference to insure a great camping vacation anywhere in the islands.

Best camping guide to one of the best places to camp., Aug 23 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: McMahon: Camping Hawai'i Revised (Paperback)
This guide, newly revised in 1997, is the most complete guide to camping on the islands. It includes sites not listed in other books and the author knows what campers want to know, like where the most level spot is to pitch your tent, something most guidebook authors would miss on their way to rate the next hotel.
