Campervan Rentals Come To Kauai

The LA Times reports that, for those who’d rather camp than stay in a hotel or condo, a Hawaiian couple now offers affordable Volkswagen campervan rentals on the Island of Kauai. Josh Tjarks and his wife Sarah Piano-Tjarks operate Kauai Camper Rental, with a fleet of six vintage VW Westfalia campers, including automatic and manual transmission models. Each van sleeps three adults or two adults plus two children and comes equipped with a stove, sink, sleeping gear, linens and pots and pans - but no bathroom facilities. Renters use campground facilities for showers and restrooms.
The couple helps travelers get the necessary permits for overnight stays at Kauai’s county campgrounds. Camping is also available at private campgrounds such as the Anahola Beach Retreat where you camp directly on the sand, and at the YMCA’s Camp Sloggett, located in Kokee State Park, high in the mountains surrounding Waimea Valley. Rates for renting a campervan run $150 a night for a week or longer, and $165 a night for less than seven days. There is a five-night minimum November through February, and a four-night minimum the rest of the year.
