I would love to Hawaii visit for my 21st birthday. I am looking forward to the jungle and beaches.

Oahu. I have a timeshare there so of course I'm biased, but the truth is it has EVERYTHING. Honolulu, otherwise known as "Las Vegas by the sea", has all the shopping you could possibly need, from large retail stores to local island merchandise. Then you have history, with Pearl Harbor, which has a host of things to keep you occupied with. Honestly, it is one of the most fascinating places to visit of all time, even if you aren't a huge history fan. Be sure to check out the Battleship Missouri as well as the USS Bowfin. To be honest, the USS Arizona Memorial could be skipped. The line is long, but if you are in the mood for a day of solemn contemplating, go for it! Not only do you have these two wonderful places to visit, Oahu has every other quintessential "Hawaiian" activity, from snorkeling to whale watching (February), from scuba diving to banana boating, from white, gorgeous sandy beaches to craters from volcanoes past. Horseback riding and Helicopter tours are also available. And don't forget surfing! The Bishop Museum and the Polynesian Cultural Center are all about Hawaiian History, so don't think you're getting slighted on the cultural experience when visiting Oahu. The hikes through the terrain are gorgeous, with waterfalls and sloping mountains as well as lush valleys so if you end up visiting Oahu you should definitely give one a try. The North Shore has great surfing, sea turtle viewing, and shave ice, a Hawaiian classic! You have to check out the Dole Plantation as well. You can really explore the geography, culture, and beauty of this island.
However, there is one detriment. There are no active volcanoes! I would suggest, if you really want to experience the full Hawaiian Vacation, take a few days to spend on the Big Island. It has Volcanoes National Park, with active volcanoes inside its large premises. The Thurston Lava Tube is certainly a site- a thousand year old tube where lava used to run through! You'd also find all your jungles in here, and really all around the island. Try a hike through Kilauea and it's vicinity, a dormant volcano with scenic tropical views and a jungle feel. You can try a night hike and see the lava flow from the volcanoes, although be sure to wear appropriate shoes and bring water! It is truly a beautiful sight. I do not recommend staying there for the duration of your Hawaiian excursion. To be honest, there is nothing to do! It is very desolate, but worth seeing for the Volcanoes if you can afford it. The plane tickets from one island to another are between 80- 100$, and there's also the ferry! If anything, go for a day or two at the beginning of your vacation to check out the Volcanoes National Park where you will find everything mentioned above (Kilauea, Thurston Lava Tube, Jungles, etc.). You can even sleep in the park for pretty cheap! They have camping within the park grounds for a low cost. The accommodations are usually a quaint little cabin, although there may be tents. When you're finished, hop aboard the ferry bound for Oahu. If you can't make a trip to the Big Island, don't sweat it! There is still PLENTY to see in Oahu.
Whatever you decide to do, I hope you have fun! Good luck!

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to camp at the Napali coast in Hawaii?

I want to fly to Hawaii and Camp for a week to save money and also a new experience.
Answer
It is not legal to just set up your tent and live on a public beach. (All beaches in the state of Hawaii are public.) The only places you can camp are in campgrounds, and those will not be near resort areas.
