Cozy Meadows Campsite
4 sites · RVs, Tents8 acres · Haiku, Maui
8 Acres of untouched land, enjoy camping in the meadow or forest. This location is in a prime spot and is accessible by any vehicle. You do not need a 4x4 and it is 3 turns and all paved roads from the highway.
We are 20 minutes from surfing or 30 minutes from beach town shopping in Paia, we are a great stop if you are going to do the road to Hana. Enjoy a perfect view of the night sky and the quiet of the jungle. We have running water so you can rinse off after the beach, a bathroom on site, and have tables and grills if you want to do a cookout! You do not need a special camping license and please no fires at this time.
Upon booking you will get an automatic message with details of the exact location and entrance instructions (Late night checkin is fine if you are quiet). If you do not receive this please contact Hipcamp and book our site only through Hipcamp.
Our location can be challenging to find if you do not follow the directions. Using the exact GPS is not recommended because a nearby road was closed due to a bridge washing out a few years ago. Some campers did not follow the instructions and were unable to find the campsite due to this.

WE CAN ONLY ACCEPT TENT CAMPING RIGHT NOW.
MAUI FIRE UPDATE:
WE ARE IN HAIKU, WHERE IT IS STILL GREEN AND BEAUTIFUL. WE STILL WELCOME GUESTS WHO ARE LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO ENJOY MAUI'S NATURE BEAUTY. Prayers to all Maui 'ohana suffering losses. Losing Lahaina and its people is devastating for us all. Please be generous in any way you can to help monetarily if you can, or by volunteering. Mahalo!
NOTE: BECAUSE WE HAVE A HOME SCHOOL, ALL CAMPERS CAN ONLY CHECK-IN AFTER 5 PM AND MUST BE COMPLETELY OFF PROPERTY BEFORE 8 AM TUESDAY MORNINGS THROUGH FRIDAY MORNINGS. We can offer more flexibility Friday nights through Monday nights.
ON THE WAY TO HANA! Super convenient location!
You feel like you are far away in amongst trees, gardens and the sound of the wind. This is a beautiful property which features over 200 fruit trees, and an educational subtropical vegetable garden, perpetuating food security in Hawaii. The acreage gives the feeling of spaciousness, yet we are close to Haiku town and Community Center.
CHECK-IN MUST BE BEFORE 8 PM UNLESS YOU CONTACT HOST AND REQUEST OTHER ARRANGEMENTS.
NOTE: We may have other campers here, as well farm workers and student interns. YOU MAY BE CAMPING OR PREPARING FOOD WITH OTHER PEOPLE.
BECAUSE THE COMMUNITY CAMPFIRE AND KITCHEN AND BATHROOM ARE AWAY FROM THE TENT SITES, YOU CAN KEEP TO YOURSELF IN YOUR TENT AREA AND/OR MEET FRIENDS FROM AROUND THE WORLD WHEN AROUND THE FIRE OR IN THE SHARED OUTDOOR KITCHEN AREA. WE DO OUR BEST TO HOLD A FEELING OF ALOHA HERE, AND HAVE FOUND THAT WHEN OUR GUESTS COME IN GRATITUDE, TOGETHER, WE ALL ENJOY THE BEAUTIFUL VIBRATION OF MAUI! We are loving the special feeling everyone brings to our farm campground and to each other. E KOMO MAI :)
We are about 15 minutes from Paia town, Ho'okipa and Baldwin beaches - that's where everyone likes to hang out! We are also about 15 minutes in the opposite direction from Twin Falls - a favorite swim hole and water fall spot!
We can offer a clean pit toilet (3-4 minute walk from the furthest campsite area), outdoor shower, and a covered and lighted eating area with the basics for cooking. You bring your tent and essentials - or you may park a vehicle here. No hook-ups. But there is an outlet in the outdoor kitchen area to charge devices and you may use wifi there. Check bulletin board for WiFi code.
Haiku is not known for having great cell phone reception/wifi. However, most people can get connected in the community kitchen area.
WEEKLY FARM PRODUCTS MAY BE AVAILABLE. PLEASE INQUIRE IF INTERESTED AND/OR CHECK THE BULLETIN BOARD IN THE PICNIC AREA. We specialize in Subtropic greens to add to salads and cooking greens and fresh herbs too. We often have fruit, like citrus, mango, starfruit.
Please ask us about our value-added products such as pesto, fermented veggies, Hawaiian chile pepper water, tinctures, healing salves, and our specialty seeds. Value added products are individually priced and available any day. Please inquire.
PLEASE TAKE PICTURES OF YOUR CAMP SET-UP SO WE CAN GIVE PEOPLE A SENSE OF WHAT IT'S LIKE! Mahalo!!!!

Stargazers Jungle Lounge Glampsites
7 sites · RVs, Tents5 acres · Hana, Maui
A community hostel style setting of young hearted people to host your stay in Hāna, Maui. We are three miles from downtown Hāna and one mile from Waianapanapa State Park. Our ocean view property has a small nature walk through a field of tropical flowers underneath some of the largest banyan trees on the island.
OUTDOORS provides are three separate lighted tented areas. 1. The BYOB Bar, 2. Chillzone with internet, and 3. Makeshift kitchen equipped with cooking wares, propane, camp stove, and potable county water (supplied). We also have a small fire pit when the winds are calm. Bring wood, or you can salvage from the jungle.
INDOOR we have "The Clubhouse" which is an additional area to get away from the rain where you will find, the lounge with partial ocean view. Our newly renovated large bamboo shower with propane hot water, and kitchen stocked with cooking wares, stove, fridge and sink for guest use.
CAMPING SPOT INFO: THE ONLY FLAT SPOTS AVAILABLE FOR CAMPER VANS ARE THE BANYAN SITES (Flower, Tree, & Lawn). We get this question all the time so let me try and clarify here. ALL OTHER PARKING SPOTS ARE ON A HILL AND NOT FLAT. If you can not secure the BANYAN TREE SITES for your camper van, your best option is to book a tent only campsite (where we already have an existing tent set up for you).
You will NOT be able to drive to the TENT ONLY sites. You have to park your vehicle in the designated parking area and then walk to and sleep in the tent with your sleeping gear from your van (About 100 feet away from parking area). Included in every reservation at the BAMBOO or OCEAN VIEW / TENT ONLY Sites are a 4-6 Man Sleep Tent, Mattress and 13 Foot Popup Canopy Tent for extra rain protection over the sleep tent. This is already set up and waiting for you! If you need blankets upon HipCamp check out they can be added on for an additional $25. This includes: one large blanket, 2 sheets and 2 pillows, pillowcases, 2 towels and lantern.
ONLY TWO PEOPLE PER SITE ARE ALLOWED per reservation. IF YOU HAVE FOUR PEOPLE YOU HAVE TO BOOK TWO CAMP SITES. Please understand that we have limited resources (Space, Kitchen, Bathroom, Shower etc) IF YOU SHOW UP WITH MORE PEOPLE - YOU WILL BE CHARGED $44.00 PER ADDITIONAL PERSON. If you have a child under 8 years old there is no charge but we would still like to be informed that there will be extra people in your party. Please let us know and get permission before you just show up with extra people in your party.
We currently request quiet hours at 8pm to be courteous to our neighbors and campers. The sun and moon will rise over the ocean in front.
HANA PREPAREDNESS INFO:
The East side of the island is considered the rain forest. It typically rains almost every night and during the day at some point or another. And sometimes very heavy rains. This keeps it lush and green with running waterfalls, but with that, Hana does have mosquitoes too, so plan accordingly. We have a few mosquito nets (first come first use) if you need them for your car/van just ask. Also wild pigs activate the neighborhood dogs at times so bring ear plugs if you are sensitive to noise. Also, stock up on groceries before you come out as choices are very limited in Hana and the town closes down early.
The Hāna Highway is one of the most magical roads in the world and we appreciate when you let the locals pass. If you have any requests or concerns, just let us know. We aim to please and look forward to hosting you! And be sure to make a reservation to visit the State Park Waianapanpa Black Sand Beach at their website.
