My new favorite way to explore the island is with a sprinter van. Now, what you’ll see online is that car camping is illegal in Hawaii, but in reality it is rarely enforced. There are plenty of places you can purchase a permit and safely beach camp all over the island, but they tend to sell out quickly. Fear not, for we had no issue just driving around and finding beautiful spots that felt safe all over the island. We loved having our mobile lifestyle that allowed for conveniently bouncing all over Oahu. If you don’t mind being a little daring and going outside the norm, this is definitely for you!
