Weekend Trip to Maui Moshav

We stayed here for one night and it was super lovely and cozy! Very peaceful and quiet, would stay here again💗

3 nights at Secluded Upcountry Maui Camping

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.

1 night at Kaupo Na'au' Kamp

We stayed here the night before we started out sea to summit hike (Kaupo Gap). Perfect location for staging, the trailhead is walking distance from camp! We enjoyed our time.

1 night at Wahi Nanea Place of Relaxation

They went all out for the campers. They have a shower, bathroom, and cabins all in one place.

Weekend Trip to Secluded Upcountry Maui Camping

We booked a last minute reservation for one night in a minivan before heading to Haleakala National Park early next morning. The simple site was perfect for our needs - There was a porta potty and hose. Make sure to park near the concrete barn on the left. We arrived at night and mistakenly went down a steep driveway to the right and had trouble driving back up. Otherwise, the property is nice and easy to find!

I loved campervan camping here!! There was a beautiful sunset happening while I was freshening up in the outdoor shower. Very quiet and peaceful! It was just over an hour to the Haleakalā summit, so I was grateful for the extra sleep before heading to the sunrise!

1 night at Kaupo Na'au' Kamp

Guy is a storyteller extraordinaire and a flat out fantastic host. Site is ideal as well.

1 night at Off Grid Farm Tour Wailuku

This campsite was a great location in the town. There was plenty of space and had a working shower. The animals on the property were quite all night.

We wished we could’ve stayed many more nights here 😃 located on a beautiful property. The owners were lovely and welcoming. The space was immaculate. Outdoor shower was an added bonus. Close to Haiku town, nearby beaches and food trucks. Highly recommend

This is the sweetest little spot! It’s simple but has everything you could need. Separate kitchenette area from the bedroom and bath. Lovely outdoor shower and covered patio. There’s even beach gear you can borrow. And finally such kind and welcoming hosts. Who really thought about the little details. Such a nice stay.

1 night at Kaupo Na'au' Kamp

I recommend staying in one of his cabanas unless you’re camping back by the kitchen. Incredible art on property . A must see if you’re in Kaupo. Beautiful views and lots of art. It was a perfect second night after one night in Hana. Guy was friendly and accommodating.

Weekend Trip to Kaupo Na'au' Kamp

Guy was great. He changed our camp location due to wind to make our camping experience better. He invited us to a neighbors to watch the sunset. Camping was quiet and peaceful, Guy checked on us multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed, brought us bug spray and other mosquito repellent devices. I would camp here again.

Weekend Trip to Off Grid Farm Tour Wailuku

For the price and the area, it's not bad. It has the basics and you sleep peacefully.

1 night at Maui Moshav

This spot was great for us! Really awesome concepts too :)

Weekend Trip to Off Grid Farm Tour Wailuku

The campground is located very centrally in Wailuku, yet surprisingly, it sits on a green field near many cafés, restaurants, and small shops. The view in the morning is incredible. There are also some farm animals on the property, which actually enhanced the camping experience for me. I never met the landlord in person, but he was honestly very helpful via messages. This place is in the middle of the island and is perfect for a night or two, whether you're sleeping in a car or a tent.

Sleep out under the stars. This farm has multiple spots to either rest in your vehicle or put up your tent to rest from you . There is a porta potty that is cleaned weekly, a sink with county water for drinking and refilling water for your vacation. Outside cold water shower. As well as a fire pit area. This is a basic place to have as Basecamp whilen Maui. Feel free to ask, and I will assist in any way I can to make your stay special. This is not a typical professional commercial camping area. This is my empty lot that I am slowly attempting to turning into a garden/Farm. Currently i have ducks and chickens and starting planter beds. I also do work trade if you are looking to stay longer. Thank you!🤙🏽 The GPS map provided isn't updates from the app. Contact me and I can give better directions.

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.

Camping near Kihei guide

Overview

Kihei is like a Hawaii postcard come to life. Turquoise seas lap at white-sand beaches, and palm trees frame jungle-covered hills. A short drive away, you can surf Lahina or hike Haleakala National Park. Camping is the perfect way to experience Kihei and stay close to the action. For the closest West Maui camping sites, head to Papalaua Beach Park. Sleep on the sand next to the ocean; many spots are shaded for comfort. Or, hop on the Hana Highway and camp at Kanaha Beach Park near Kahului. Be sure to get a permit before tent camping at one of Maui’s beach parks. At Waiʻanapanapa State Park, choose from cabins and sites with picnic tables. Here, you can go birding, hike the Hawaiian coast, or fish in the sea just steps from camp. Inside Haleakala National Park, hike to one of two backcountry campgrounds. The park also has two drive-up campgrounds: Hosmer Grove and Kipahulu. The best part of camping near Kihei is the weather. Temperatures tend to stay in the 70s and 80s for most of the year. Bring rain gear and light layers for higher-elevation camping.
