Kalaeloa Beach Park

If you read the City/​County FAQ and what’s not allowed here, you’ll pretty much have an idea of what IS happening at Kalealoha. Long-​term squatters without permits, generators fired up for movie screens and power tools, loose dogs (none threatening, thankfully), fires on the beach, drinking. Someone was set up in our reserved campsite when we arrived and had been there long enough to pitch a tent, awning, and chair — we just moved on. The beach has a rocky shelf along the shore, making it inhospitable for swimming, though beautiful. Clearly, there is no oversight happening at this park. The only positives: there was a trash can at the campsite, the outdoor shower worked, and the nasty port-​a-​pottys had TP in most of them — though non-​campers drove in to use them in the AM.

Oh my gosh this was a beautiful place to take you’re family and just have a fun day but now it’s just over run by homeless. There isn’t any bathrooms but port-​a-​potty and theres a bunch of them but only one works and it’s seriously disgusting. The beaches are spectacular but the camp grounds are neglected and dirty. I would like to see this place be taken cared of more so people can enjoy this area.

As soon as we arrived we decided that we did not want to stay overnight. There was litter everywhere and the sites were very unkempt. There were many sites that had busted picnic tables (with holes in them and missing benches) which is literally the only feature of the site. The «comfort station» is permanently closed, they have portable toilets and public showers instead. There are «permanent campers» there as well, depending on how you feel about that may or may not make a difference.

The location is decent, you definitely feel like you’re camping upon arrival. HOWEVER, this place is super crowded, there were people coming and going at all hours of the night, partying. It says no
Dogs allowed but multiple dogs were there. (I love dogs so that’s ok, just clear people don’t follow rules here) there were NO PRIVATE SHOWERS, all were outdoors, and NO BATHROOMS, port a potties only,
And it was quite a hike to access them.
Also, this place was really hard to find, there’s no exact address on the map.
Don’t think I will go back to this site. :(
