About this campground
MacKenzie State Recreation Area near Pahoa Hawaii (Hawai'i) offers primitive tent camping in a wooded setting adjacent to a volcanic coastline.
What campers say
MacKenzie State Recreation Area offers dramatic ocean-cliff vistas, shady trees, and plenty of picnic seating—stone tables, a gazebo and easy pull-aside parking make it a good stop for a short visit or quiet reflection. The rugged lava coastline is beautiful but unfenced and not suitable for swimming; cliff edges are steep, so take care with children and limited mobility. Public restrooms are available, though reports on their condition vary. It can feel out of the way if youre not nearby, and the site is generally recommended for daytime visits rather than camping or nighttime outings.
