Where is the cheapest place to stay in Kauai?

Camping Hotels
Rebecca A asked:

I am visiting Kauai in May with my husband. We want to visit the North Shore and Lihue. Where are some cheap hotels to stay at? Do a lot of people camp in these areas as well?

    Seems to me that Kauai Sands in Kapaa is not too expensive. Nothing fancy about it, but it is clean & safe. It is near Lihue. I don’t think there is anything cheap on the north shore. The island is small enough that you could use Kapaa as your base & visit the north shore during the day. There are places to camp, but you need a permit.

    Motel Lani and the hotel at Tip Top (both in Lihue) are inexpensive, but you get what you pay for. I believe it’s Motel Lani that is described in a tour guide as “a gross, cheap dump.” LOL. Kapaa Sands is inexpensive and is in a pretty good location. Not fancy. There is also Kauai Sands.

    Here you go. A cheap, but great place to stay. It doesn’t have a pool, and it’s more just a nice motel, but the rooms are clean and the area is quiet AND it’s right next to two of the best places on Kauai to eat: Hamura Saimin and BBQ Inn, both of which are cheap, but have really good local food. The hotel is in Lihue, and it’s about an hours drive to the North shore and the west side. You can camp at Anini beach up on North Shore, or Salt Pond on the west side.
