Maui Camping

Maui offers camping around the island. Haleakala National Park has both vehicle campgrounds and hike-in campgrounds. In addition to locations below.....We also will share a few other parking options with you upon arrival.
I recommend some planning for camping before you arrive
** Make reservations ahead of time now due to limited spots and limited space.
Travel Area Restrictions:
Nissans are allowed up but We do NOT allow our VW Campers to be driven up to Haleakala National Park. Crater Road is way too steep for these little engines. Same applies for PoliPoli Springs.

Kipahulu Campground — **CLOSED FOR COVID
Located 10 miles past Hana, near the pools at Ohe’o (Seven Sacred Pools), close to the ocean. It has picnic tables, BBQ grills and outdoot pit toilets. No drinking water so bring your own. The road to Hana with its countless waterfalls, the windy narrow roads and greenery is an attraction in itself.
Kipahulu offers a series of waterfalls forming about 20 separate pools to swim and play in. There is also a great hike here along the stream, pass waterfalls and through a great bamboo forest.
Hosmer Grove Campground - Open as of June 1, 2021
Hosmer Grove lies in the cloud belt of Haleakalā, at nearly 7,000 feet (2134m) in elevation in the Summit District. Come prepared for rain and cold weather! The forest comes to life in the early dawn with the many native birds in the area, making this a beautiful early morning hike.
Six designated sites are located in an open, grassy area near the forest and shrubland of Hosmer Grove. Each site has a picnic table, grill, and access to potable water. The campground has pit toilets located in the parking lot. All vehicles must park in a designated parking space within the paved lot. A self-guided nature trail begins and ends at the campground.
Campers who obtain a reservation to camp at Hosmer Grove campground also receive a reservation to view sunrise the morning after camping. Those without a campsite reservation for Hosmer Grove who wish to view sunrise will need to obtain a reservation through recreation.gov.
