Discover Wailua River State Park RV rentals for memorable road trips

Wailua River State Park, found on the eastern side of Kauai island in Hawaii, is the site of the Wailua Complex. The Wailua Complex was used as a power center for the rulers of the island for several decades. Though several structures are no longer standing, archaeologists have established digs to learn more about this complex. One particular feature, called Holoholokū Heiau, has been restored. It was a particular spot at which high-ranking women would give birth and bury the afterbirth, which was an important ritual. Throughout Wailua River State Park are centuries-old trails that can still be used today. It’s said that ghost warriors walk these trails at nighttime.

Getting Outdoors

Adventurers should be prepared to get wet. In addition to the annual rainfall of over 450 inches, Wailua River State Park is the only park at which adventurers are allowed to enjoy river boating fun on the island. Swim, kayak, or even jet-ski along the 20-mile length of the river. Hikers, too, can hit the trails for recreational fun. They can pose a challenge for beginner hikers, though. The trails are notoriously steep and muddy, but ascending to the top of summits for breathtaking views of the island, the waterfall grotto, and the ocean is well worth the effort.

Camping at Wailua River State Park

As perfect as it would be to RV camp at Wailua River State Park and listen to the sound of the river gurgle through the night, the region is too fragile. Fortunately, there are several other options in the area. Lydgate State Park RV campground, just south of Wailua, borders a public beach, and several RV sites are a short walk from the ocean. There are 25 sites, and amenities include restrooms with showers and drinking water. Unique to Lydgate State Park is its beaches have “ocean pools,” which are sections of the beach enclosed by large rocks. These pools are ideal for snorkeling or for swimmers who require calmer waters.

Exploring the Area

Ringing the coast of Kauai Island are several small towns. Visiting each in search of its charms and attractions is made effortless in a motorhome rental. Many towns host various events and festivals, too, which makes it easy to find local businesses, artists, and crafters. Search for the perfect souvenir to take home as a reminder of this idyllic RV camping trip. Kekaha is well known for its weekly farmer’s market. The venue is also close to a scenic waterfall.
