Car
Located on Hawai'i, often called the "Big Island", Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park is 96 miles from Kailua-Kona driving southeast on HWY11 (2 to 2 1/2 hour drive), or 125 miles through Waimea and Hilo via highways 19 and 11 (2 1/2 hour drive). The park is 30 miles from Hilo (45 minute drive).

Getting Around
Explore the summit of Kilauea volcano via Crater Rim Drive, an 11-mile loop road that encircles the summit caldera. On the drive, visitors will pass through a desert, cross the caldera floor, and enjoy the beauty of a tropical rainforest.

If you have three to four hours, visitors may also explore the East Rift and coastal area via Chain of Craters Road. This road descends 3,700 feet in 20 miles and ends where a 1995 lava flow crossed the road. Depending on changing volcanic activity, there may be opportunities for viewing active lava flows. No food or fuel is available along the Chain of Craters Road.

More Camping Tips

Make campground reservations early if possible.

Real contact information.
Real phone numbers.
Real websites.

Unlike other travel websites, AllStays.com gives you direct links to the park websites.

If possible, call the campground or rv park to confirm the current status of the location. These come and go throughout the year due to closings, budget cuts and of course, mother nature.

The earlier you arrive, the more likely you will get the type of site you want to have. Stronger wi-fi signal? Quiet space?
