Lucy Wright Beach Park campground closes each Monday at 10AM for maintenance and reopens at 12PM each Tuesday.
We got a permit to camp here and were later told that it’s actually too dangerous to stay due to incidents with people attacking campers. We had to scramble for a place to camp at the last minute, which is actually fairly difficult because everything in Hawaii books up quickly. I ended up begging a nearby campground to let us camp on their land even though they were full.
It was the only camping spot left on the island but when we showed up, a local immediately warned us to be careful and watch our car. We spent maybe 45 minutes there- even set up our tent - but then decided to move on. Seemed liked it might get noisy after dark and that we might regret staying there. Not a place I wanted to spend a day of my vacation and risk loosing any valuables or getting a bad night's sleep. $3 per pserson.
People were warning us about this place, with how sketchy it was, but honestly, it wasnt bad. Granted, it was a weird site, literally on an old baseball field. I felt safe. While there were a few people who were likely homeless, they didn't bother us or make us feel uncomfortable. In a pinch, this is a fine place to camp.
I camp there and overall it was fine. I was kind of scared at first because of all the bad review and people talking about the "rough crowd" hanging there, but really it is not worst than the other camping in kauai. The location is depressing (old baseball field) but it will do for a night or two of cheap camping (3$ a night)
