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.

We are a 5th generation family farm on the slopes of Haleakala, just a 3 mile drive up from historic Makawao town. Our great grandfather purchased a 40 acre ranch in 1957 as his retirement, homestead dream. With rolling hills of pastures, our farm is the ideal location for a secluded camping getaway with ocean views and Maui. Sadly, our property was hit severely by the August 2023 fires caused by downed electric lines. Your support of camping on our family farm helps us recover little by little and help us maintain such a huge responsibility of weeding invasive trees and weeds, along with repairs and fence building after so much loss.

We went in expecting exactly what the description said in hipcamp - very simple and very basic. The views were the best part - lovely westerly view for Sunset. Our last day a rainbow stretched across the whole valley below. Solitude since there is only one site was nice - we had the area to ourselves. We were traveling by campervan (Metris) and fit on the spot well. Our hostess Nina left us be and gave us the gate code ahead of time. Don't expect a "campground" - it is parking space on their family farm with chairs, a great sitting bench and a small fire pit for campfire. We also liked that our fee went to support the family farm. Very quiet and very peaceful. If this all sounds like what you are looking for then book your stay here. We stayed for our last two days in town and it was close to the airport as well.

I really love the serenity and peace here. This beautiful little private spot just out of the way was perfect. I enjoyed coming away from the days adventures to a quiet little area away from it all. The gardens that Nina have here are so cute and brings a sense of calm and beauty. The view would be incredible on a clear day the colours are just breathtaking. Its so gorgeous up there! Highly recommended! Thanks Nina 💗

Beautiful setting for a campsite. Probably one of the more posh hip camp sites I’ve ever stayed at with flush toilets and a great outdoor shower. There are very few places to camp on Maui, and it’s by far the best. Highly recommend for viewing the sunset, and a relaxing stay.

Alika’s land is fantastic! The directions were great and led us straight to the campsite! It is really peaceful and the bathrooms and the shower were good. The view is very pretty at sunrise and sunset. We would definitely stay here again. The evenings are cooler in upcountry so we slept the best the 2 nights we were here. Don’t forget to go to Grandma’s Coffee House. Thank you!

The view is lovely, especially for sunset. There weren’t many others there when we were there, so it was especially nice to be able to eat at the picnic table with a special view. The hot shower in the morning was efficient & felt great. All the facilities were well labeled & explained (nice to have recycling!).
Alika and her family were very kind when they came through in the morning.

This was a great spot! Nice amenities. We grilled some steak and enjoyed the use of the covered picnic tables. We were relieved to have access to showers since we hadn't for 4 days prior. It was rainy and dreary, (but that's not anyone's fault). We could have made use of the lovely fire pit if the weather had been nicer. Directions were clear!

I loved camping at Alika’s place. It was more what I was expecting. Each camping spot has their own bathroom, everything was so clean. I love it. It is a perfect spot is you’re going to the National Park. It’s very convenient! I’ll come back!

I write this as I book this site for the third time on my Maui travels. Nina’s Hipcamp is not the cheapest on the island but I can say that the lavatory is clean and you have privacy. due to the acreage and fact that there is only one site on the property you don’t get too much noise aside from the birds and deer. You are close to a road but it isn’t traveled frequently, especially in the evenings. the host is kind and communicative, She does run a few programs on her property but they are all held around midday when I was still at the beach so it was never an issue for me.
