Kauai

Kauai is one of the lesser developed isles of Hawaii. Most of its land is owned by the state of Hawaii. Although there are fancy hotels, most of it is undeveloped.

We began our trip by staying at a county run camping ground on the beach. These only cost $3 per person for non-residents and are free for residents. Non-residents can purchase permits ahead of time at

However, if you cannot make to the office, you will only get charged $5/person/night if you camp without a permit.

The next day we backpacked into the Napali Coast. Although, there are many camping areas only a couple were open. Each area, though, had many sites. Permits for this area cost $10/person/night. These appear to be intermittently enforced. However, I urge you to pay these use fees since help preserve the area. To get permit write to

We finally spent the last three nights in a rental cottage. We got a great deal from Classic Cottages (http://www.ClassicCottages.com). For only $70 a night we rented a two bedroom cottage. Although it was not directly on the beach, it was within a 8 minute drive.
