Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

This is such a beautiful area! Definitely worth the drive. We took the advice of others and went early in the day, and we were really glad we did. It can get really busy, it seems, as the day goes on. There were more restrooms than I had anticipated so that was nice. We found a nice picnic area (near the museum) and had a picnic lunch after we had done all of our exploring. It was a wonderful day and one of the best of the trip.

Koke'e State Park is at the end of the road (550) which starts as Waimea Canyon Road in Waimea on the south shore of Kauai. It is probably most well known for its magnificent views over the Na Pali Coast on the NW shore of the island, a region with no roads and which one either must see from the sea or air, or access directly on foot via Ha'ena State Park and the Kalalau trail on the north shore. Koke'e offers great, fairly up-close views from above and inland, without any hiking since one can just drive up the road through Waimea Canyon State Park to Kalalau Lookout and Pu'u O Kila Lookout. From Pu'u O Kila, there is a trail partly along the ridge giving more views, to another lookout and through swampy areas and more forest. The views and hikes are excellent and well worth a long visit. The drive to Kalalau Lookout is easy, but just after that, as of June 2023, the road has a short stretch with numerous and deep potholes. One can negotiate it even in a regular car if done with care, however, and that rough stretch is limited, the rest of the road being ok if not good.

Nice drive, but some serious potholes on the very last stretch of the paved road, we should have stopped at the second to last lookout, which was spectacular.

The drive through the canyon up to the lookouts was great. Unfortunately we went on a semi-rainy day. A bit hazy for most of the drive, but at the very top lookout , a marine layer of clouds blocked the view to the Nepali coast. Still with the drive.

You end up visiting Koke'e State Park by basically continuing your drive through Waimea Canyon State Park - the same fee for the $10 car and $5 per person will work here as it's valid for the 5 locations between these 2 parks
I have reviewed the Waimea Canyon State Park separately and left some info there on Route 550 vs Kokee Rd on the way up and down but once you get to the WCSP you will have only one road up/down as the 2 merge before you enter WCSP.
After speaking with the State Guide at the Waimea Canyon Lookout we were told that a must are the 2, which are basically two angles on the views from the top of the Na Pali Coast :):
a. Kalalau Lookout - this one comes first and you will pass it before you head to the second "must stop" - you walk a few steps and there is a huge vista point area that can accommodate plenty of people
b. Pu’u O Kila Lookout - so this spot is just another 5 minutes drive but the road surface at times is bad, and the "road split" is in terrible shape, we made in a small car but I can see how you can damage the car with the low clearance - it's actually weird that the road for the most part is great but in 2-3 sections of the park it's a terrible mess :/ - while at this lookout spot go a bit down the trail - it's a super easy one at first so you are fine in flip flops, we were told that in advance and it was true - you will get some better vistas from down there
While in either of these lookout spots you can experience some clouds... moisture... rain... or like we that day PLENTY OF RAINBOWS!!! :) amazing!
We didn't do any hikes, it's all easy drive and stop in flip flops but there are tones of trails everywhere you go.
TIP: drive carefully, it's probably the worst road conditions in certain areas that we experienced around Kauai - nothing you can't pass in any car at appropriate speed but don't drive fast or you will lose a wheel :D

My wife and I drove up into Koke’e State Park and enjoyed the views of the coast and the “other side” of the Nepali Coast, in particular. We left the parking lot around noon and by then it was jam-packed. We also hiked along the Pihea Trail for a bit and enjoyed the experience. Based on our reading, we did not feel compelled to do the hikes to enjoy the views of the coast. Definitely recommended.

Koke'e State park is accessed by a well-paved road in good condition from the coastal town of Waimea. Although the climb is relatively steep any car and driver can make the journey and once you are up there you have a large selection of hikes of all levels at your disposal. Apart from the mandatory, astonishing Waimea Valley Outlook we hiked the Pihea Vista Trail starting at the end of the paved road and following the ridge of one of the most spectacular valleys on the Na Pali Coast. If you go all the way to the small Pihea lookout at 4,285 ft at the end, you should be aware that the last bit is very steep and can be very muddy and thus represent a clallenge for inexperienced hikers in sneakers.

Kokee State Park is basically the "end of the road" as you go up into Waimea Canyon. The views of the NaPali Coast are spectacular -- when the clouds lift enough to see.

When you visit Waimea Canyon, be sure to stop at Koke’e State Park. There is something for everyone including hiking trails, tent and cabin camping, a rainforest, native flora, and fantastic views. Trails range from 1.9 to 7.7 miles long.
Koke’e State Park and Waimea Canyon form one huge park. There are two must stop places: the Puu O Kila and Kalalua Lookouts. Kalaulua has a wonderful view of the Kalalau Valley as well as the Napali Coast. It is located at mile marker 18. The best view of the Napali Coast is from the Puu o Kila Lookout. Views from here are the ones usually featured in magazines and advertisements. The best time to visit the park is in the morning but there is no guarantee as the area could be completely fogged in.
The Lodge is next to a small museum and has a restaurant, cocktail lounge, and gift shop. If you rent a cabin, it does not have TV, WIFI, nor cell phone coverage.
Parking and entrance fees cover both parks. Paying for parking is on the honor system. While waiting in line, I noticed a couple of people chose to not pay. Much to their dismay, a ranger at one of the parking areas was making note of those who did not have a sticker on your car’s dashboard.

My husband and I enjoy hiking, but we're unsure if we should hike Waimea Canyon or up at Koke'e. Or both? Thoughts?

Do you have to buy a "numbered" permit for the undesignated sites at Kokee? How does one go about that? The .gov site doesn't have any such option, only for the 8 (out of 9!) designated spots.
Thanks

You buy the parking permit from a dispenser at each lot. It’s a daily permit and is good at all the lots in the park.

We have a permit to camp one night. What time can we arrive that morning to select our spot?

Sorry, we didn't camp at all but I suggest you get in touch with the State Parks Department to find out when you can arrive. The website should be on your permit or a toll free number for inquiries.
Camping permits?
I would like to go there with one friend but there is actually just one permit remaining on the date we want to go. It would just be one tent. Would it be fine (we would like to buy two permits but cannot) or do we really need two permits?

If you have one tent then you should only require 1 permit, since you will only be using one camping space with one tent. Enjoy your camping.

I will have a mini van that I will be camping in. Can you park at campsites?

There are different camp sites. The one we saw right next to the Kokee Natural History Museum, has a parking lot at the entrance of the camp site, then people pick spots on the open area to set up their tents. At least for this camp site, maybe you can't sleep in your mini van.

This place is gorgeous, with mind-blowing views. It'll awaken a sense of optimism and joy in you. Don't be macho, just have fun and enjoy.

There are places to camp, remember that Kauai gets alot of rain. The campsites we observed were rather primitive.

My fiancee and I are getting married in Kauai and are hoping to camp in Koke'e for a few nights beforehand. Since we have never been to Kauai before we are wondering about transportation/ parking. We will be renting a vehicle to get around but are concerned about where we are expected to park once we arrive at the park? Having trouble getting directions etc as well to the entrance. Do we have to hike to the camping area? If so, how far in? Any info is appreciated!

Howdy! Congrats if you already got married. I’ve idea to camp particularly here beforehand. The worry-wart would caution against mudslides that occasionally cut off the upper island from the lower.

How strict is the camping permit policy? Do they count how many people are camping in each site?

Depends where you are. Heading out to Sugi grove you can get away w/o permits. At the state park they mainly check that each tent has a permit on it....they may check permit, just make sure each tent has a permit as in get a permit and print a few out.
