Well-known for its natural beauty, one of the main attractions of the temperate Hanawiti Forest is the camping. With many campgrounds scattered throughout the forest and along the numerous hiking trails, you will always have a place to stay the night.

The Hanawiti Forest has several different types of campgrounds and camp sites, including group and family sites for multiple tents, as well as individual sites located along many of the hiking trails.

The hike sites in particular are one of the main attractions, providing an escape from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. Here, you can stay the night in our lush and beautiful backyard, away from the troubles of civilization, and simply enjoy the scenery.



[NOTE: The weather in the Hanawiti Forest is known to change rapidly, so make sure you check the forecast before embarking on your outing. Avoid camping on exposed terrain, and ensure that your tent's guy lines are properly secured. If a thunderstorm develops while you are camping, seek shelter immediately.]

With many miles of trails, the Hanawiti Forest is perfect for hikers and backpackers of all ages! No matter your experience level, we have the perfect trail for you! Day hikes, overnight excursions, and long-distance, multi-day treks are just a few of the many opportunities that await you on the trails of the Hanawiti Forest!

When hiking, always remember to pack the essentials, including food, water, and a flashlight. Don't forget your rain gear either; the forest's weather is well-known for how quickly it can change, and you don't want to get caught unprepared in a rainstorm!




[NOTE: Many trails will be closed during extended periods of intense rain or other foul weather. Make sure to check the weather before planning your trip.]

The Hanawiti Forest is also well-known for its varied and diverse wildlife. Many species of birds, as well as a wide variety of mammals can be found within the forest, so many that in fact it is recommended that hikers and campers avoid packing any meat among their supplies, lest the animals smell it and attempt to acquire it for themselves!

None of the animals in the Hanawiti Forest pose any threat to you, provided that you follow the appropriate regulations and precautions. Avoid packing meat, and please don't feed the wildlife. They will become dependent on your food and will eventually force an early end to your trip since you fed the bears all of your sandwiches.

Mr. Wilson in particular has grown quite fond of BLTs, and seems to prefer white bread over whole wheat or other varieties. This is obviously a problem.




Remember that black bears only rarely attack humans, so as long as you keep a safe distance and avoid scaring or provoking the bears, you will remain safe. They're just curious and mean you no harm.

[NOTE: Reports of "brightly glowing eyes" seen through the trees after dark have been dismissed as nothing more than mere fiction, and can be disregarded as such, as no species native to the Hanawiti Forest area has displayed this characteristic.]

With the famously fast-changing weather of the Hanawiti Forest, you may get caught in a rainstorm while you're out camping. After seeking shelter in the comfort of your nice, dry tent, you may be asking yourself what to do next. After all, it's really no fun to keep hiking when it's pouring rain, and the storm just put out your campfire, so s'mores aren't an option either.

Rest assured, there's still plenty of things to do while stuck in your tent! You can listen to your radio (for entertainment or to hear the forecast for when the weather will clear), you can read a book, or you can simply relax and fall asleep to the sound of the rain hitting the canvas of your tent.

Additionally, you may not be alone in the woods. Some animals might be out and about despite the rain, so it's possible for you to still make some pretty neat wildlife observations if you keep quiet and just watch and listen. If you've brought an instrument, you can even put on a performance for those who happen to be listening.

Make sure to keep your flashlight handy too, in case the rain lasts until after dark. Sometimes the night can be scary, so having a light nearby can additionally be useful to reassure you that there is, in fact, nothing "out there".



[NOTE: For your safety, it is recommended to remain in your tent after sundown during foul weather.]
