It’s accessible by hiking 3.7 miles down the Halemauʻu Trail or 7.4 miles from the Sliding Sand Trailhead. You will need a permit to camp here and water is non-potable, so it’s best to carry in what you’ll need. The weather is unpredictable and temperatures can vary from 40-70 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and 30-50 degrees Fahrenheit at night. Be prepared for rain at all times of year. If it’s stormy, winds can exceed 80 miles per hour with temperatures dropping well below freezing. Groups are limited to 12 people max. head here.

Wahi Nanea Place of Relaxation

7 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents2 acres · Kula, HI
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.

Secluded Upcountry Maui Camping

2 sites · RVs, Tents40 acres · Makawao, HI
We are a 5th generation family farm on the slopes of Haleakala, located in the old farming area of Olinda, 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 bodering a 1000 acre state forest, 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.

Untouched Hawaiian Land

16 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents11 acres · Hana, HI
Just being on the property is a local experience in itself. Everyone who sees it is blown away by the location and its untouched beauty full of lava rock and Hawaiian foliage. 11 Acres and it’s right by the coast. You can set up your tent or park your vehicle right at the coastline to camp while checking out the amazing view and hearing the waves crash right by you/or under you. The property doesn’t have cell phone service or WiFi unless you have Starlink, but right down the road a couple miles away there is free WiFi. The property has water catchment suitable for showering and washing dishes, but no filter for drinking water. You may fish at our campground. You may have a fire at our campground. You may bring your whole family to our campground. Each campsite needs to be purchased separately, even if you are apart of the same group. We ask that your vehicle has clearance. Low vehicles would get beat up on the drive to the property. Your two hosts are very friendly and offer tour guide/sightseeing services on the side. One of your hosts is a local who was born and raised in Hana, and still this day it is her home base. Your other host is a coconut tree climber and a very gifted handy man who can pretty much fix anything. We love making new friends and offering fresh coconuts to people who haven’t gotten to experience how amazing they are. Hana is known as the most beautiful town in the whole world, and we’re proud to live here and show aloha to people who are down to earth and respectful.

How cool is it to sleep at the bottom of volcanic crater? If you're on the island, check this out - the sunrises are unreal.
