Pālāʻau State Park

This park was small but very awesome. There were 2 small trails to an amazing view of the Kalaupapa peninsula and the phallic rock. I chose this as my camping ground for the trip and what an amazing choice. I had the whole place to myself with a bathroom and covered outdoor shower with excellent overall privacy and quietness. The temperatures are about 15° cooler here than near the beach. From what I understand, Jerry the park caretaker has done all this excellent work to make it beautiful. Check-in with him at his place just to the left before the park to get info on your camp reservation. Thanks Jerry!

The walk to the peninsula lookout is completely wheelchair accessible but the hike up to the rock is not. It is short and a little steep, totally worth it! Restrooms were really clean when I was here. Kalaupapa is gorgeous!

I very much enjoyed the trails here especially the lookout, it is quite an impressive drop in elevation from here. There is ample room for camping if you are so inclined. The trees here make a lot of noise in the wind, very pleasant.

Great views. A little bit of a walk to the rock.

Molokai is not only beautiful, but it has the full range of landscapes, from beach to mountains, from desert-like atmosphere to rain forest. The beaches are not only full of beautiful white sand, but lacking crowds of people! It is the most laidback of all of the islands, and probably has the most Hawaiians still living there. The people are so nice and friendly. There is so much history on such a small island. If you want a truly relaxing vacation, this is the spot!

At the gate, it says Permit Required and Trespassers will be prosecuted. Called the number listed on the gate and they said you had to be an invited guest to enter. The nearby lookout was pretty however.

About 10 degrees cooler than sea level. Great view. A couple of short walking trails. Covered picnic tables and clean washrooms. Good parking. Wide cement sidewalk to lookout. Accessable. Some birds for bird watchers.

Good place for tent camping. Clean and functional restroom facilities. Plenty of grassy area, some shaded, some in the sun, though locals ignore the prohibition on driving vehicles on the grass which makes some of the areas muddy and unsuitable for pitching a tent. There is only one grill, so that could be an issue if there are multiple people camping. It's not clear if the water is potable or not, but it is clean enough that I had no qualms drinking it after chemically treating it.
