Yes, you need a permit to camp at Haleakala National Park in Maui. The park has two drive-up campgrounds, Hosmer Grove and Kipahulu, which do not require reservations but operate on a first-come, first-served basis. However, you need a permit if you are planning to camp in the wilderness areas at Paliku or Holua. Wilderness camping permits can be obtained at the park's Headquarters Visitor Center or the Haleakala Visitor Center. For more information on camping at Haleakala, visit the official Haleakala National Park website or Recreation.gov for reservation details.
