About
Kīholo State Park Reserve is a rugged, beautiful spot that feels like a true escape. The road in is bumpy, so an SUV is recommended. It is a great place for snorkeling and camping, but be prepared for basic facilities. It is a wild, natural area that rewards those who are willing to make the trek.
