The property is located on Maui island in the Kula district on the drier side of Haleakala. In days before western contact the area was heavily forested with native plants and trees and rainfall was abundant. The native Hawaiian grew bananas, taro and sweet potato.  After Western contact businessmen mostly from the United States developed huge tracts of land for ranching and farming which cleared the native forests and destroyed the eco system from the mountain to the sea. Many of the Hawaiian people moved away nearer to the towns and immigrant Chinese laborers from the ranches and plantations moved in. The Chinese brought in the Wattle tree to plant for firewood as these trees grew very fast. These are the majority of the trees that you see today. As part of the Chinese immigration, the founder of modern China, Sun Yat Sen lived here for a time and planned his revolution to overthrow the last Chinese Dynasty. There is a park dedicated to him nearby. We have picnic tables a propane grill, a fire pit and a covered gazebo that is shared with 3 cabins This site is located at the 2800 ft altitude and the temperature at night can range from mid 50 to mid 60 degrees F. If you are planning to go to Haleakala, we are about 45 -60 minutes to the summit. We are also on the south side approach to Hana. There is a great restaurant for breakfast and lunch about 10 minutes away in Keokea town called Grandma's Coffee house.

Great place, nice shower and clean. Nights are a little colder than on sea level. So maybe pack another blanket.

This spot is under rated! It’s quiet, clean and very well maintained. We had a view of the ocean and incredible sunset. Hot showers, BBQ, fresh water and no complaints whatsoever. Please stay here!!

Awesome spot!
Such an awesome campsite! Hot shower, cleans bathrooms with running water and a sink. Owners are super friendly and it is an amazing spot for some stargazing! Close the the Haleakala Summit entrance and close to town. Would highly recommend and would come back again!
