To confirm reservations, State operated camping areas require a full payment of the total cost of the camping no later than 2 weeks after a tentative reservation is issued. For cabin reservations, a 50% deposit of the total cost of the lodging is required. If the payment is not received within two weeks, the reservation will be cancelled. For cabins, the remaining payment is due upon or before issuance of the cabin key. For O`ahu parks and for reservations made 30 days or less prior to the first night of camping, payment in full (by any accepted means other than personal or business check) is due at the time of making the reservation. Payment, unless otherwise specified, shall be in cash, cashier's check, certified check, postal money order or bank money order. We do not accept credit card payments. Checks are to be made payable to Department of Land and Natural Resources. Personal or business checks will be accepted only if payment is received more than 30 days before the date of the event, therefore checks will not be accepted for O`ahu camping. Refund of deposit will be made only if the district office that issued the permit receives notification of the cancellation 15 days or more before the first occupancy date shown on the permit. The original permit must be returned to that office prior to processing the refund. Partially paid cabin reservations shall be cancelled and any deposits forfeited if the permittee does not check-in on the first day of the reservation. Additional information, such as check-in and check-out times, where to pick up the key, and where to pay the balance due, will be provided when the reservation is confirmed.
