About halfway to Hilina Pali Overlook on the Hilina Pali Road is the Kulanaokuaiki Campground. Set amongst rifts, collapse features and flows, this desert campground is secluded and spectacular. Rarely utilized, it is a great place to camp in peace while exploring the park. Miles of hiking on nearby trail networks, fabulous mountain biking and Kulanaokuaiki is a nesting place for the endangered Nene…a great place to observe it in the wild.
