Address: Koke'e state park, Westside , Kauai , Usa Show on map
Outdoorsy types, aspiring writers, or the simply exhausted will likely find rejuvenation and reprieve in the grand rustic setting that is Koke'e. Cabins are bare bones, but, man, what a setting.Try thinking back to college dormitory days to imagine what a stay here will be like, then remove the luxury of heat and clear running water. This is the wilderness, but if you're cool with that, you'll love bunking up, getting cosy and resting your aching dogs from all the hiking trails. And yes, for Kaua'i, it's chilly, so pack up some firewood for the cabin's wood-burning stove. You'll also want to bring bottled water, mosquito repellent, a sleeping bag and even a tent to make the no-frills digs a little less rustic.

Head off early for a jaunt to Waipo'o Falls, have a picnic at the Kalalau Lookout before heading back for a fireside evening in your cabin.
Locals have forever tried to keep the rustic quality of Koke'e alive, which has meant fighting the state to keep cabin lease rights and protesting at the paving of many of its 4WD back roads, part of its salient charm.
