My Family and I spent two nights at the Kokee Lodge cabins. This should have been a nice, "outdoorsy" place to stay. We have no problem staying in a cabin (we camp and backpack), but it is sad to see how the Hawaii State Parks are not Maintaining these cabins. One burner (out of four) working on the stove. Not... more

I lived on the North Shore of Kauai from 1986 to1990 and visited Kokee' many times. It is a majestic place! I knew from my friends on the Island what state of disrepair it had fallen to before we arrived for our Honeymoon... Think I'm crazy? No..we prepared for it. We gathered up dry driftwood off of the beach in... more

I agree with another reviewer, if I could rate this worse than terrible I would. My husband and I consider ourselves outdoor people. We camp, backpack, and have stayed in many other cabins throughout the US and have never come across such shabby and unclean conditions as the Kokee Lodge. We arrived to check in, and the lodge itself was... more

I dislike having to write such a bad review, actually I would give it a worse than terrible rating. We have stayed in the Kokee cabins 3 times before, I know things do change over time and the last time we were there was right before Inikii, so it had been a while. Perhaps the State cannot afford to keep... more

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights (Dec. 24-26, 2007) and, overall, had a good experience. The cabins are quite rustic, but they do have refrigerators, gas stoves, cooking utensils, hot water, full bathrooms, and wood-burning stoves for heat (it does get cold at night!). Our cabin was pretty clean, but I found the bedding to be kind... more

When visiting Waimea Canyon, we stayed at one of the cabins of the Kokee Lodge. I knew that it was going to be a cabin, so I didn't expect plush amenities, and that is what I got. I was actually really pleased with that. It was great to sleep in front of a fire and wake up the next morning... more

If you loved summer camp then a stay at Kokee Lodge will bring back a flood of wonderful memories. Not actually a lodge but a group of rustic cabins nestled in the trees just off the road to the Kalalau lookout inside Kokee State park. Our group of two adults and two young girls, age 6 and 8 stayed in... more

As outdoor enthusiasts, hikers, backpackers, tent campers and nature lovers, we were thrilled to stay in Koke`e State park as a change of pace from the busy Lihue side if the island. We have stayed in many other state park cabins but found this one very poorly maintained. The cabin was crumbling, dirty, the shower had flaking shards of fiberglass... more

Stay away! My boyfriend and I stayed there for 3 nights. We're backpackers and don't need frills, but this was something else. First night, no hot water and the gas stove didn't work. The next day they told us we could have a free meal at the restaurant to make up for the inconvenience, which we appreciated. When we got... more

We travelled to Hawaii this year and thought it would be great to stay at a state park lodging like Kokee. What a Mistake. The exterior is cute, very rustic, nothing at all fancy, but that is ok. We made the mistake of going inside, it was downhill from there. The kitchen area looked like there had been a bar... more
