Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.
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.

Fine for one or 2 nights, quiet area, hot water good but showerhead mounting needs attention, shower area drainage poor. Bathrooms good. Good to Use as a base to explore the area.

One thing that stuck out to me was the cleanliness of utilities and ease of finding the area. Clear instructions and well in advance notice on how to find the campground. Thanks!!!

Camper Van #5 Parking in the Forest
Alika gave us excellent directions to the campsite!! The grounds were very well kept and provided us a safe place to stay! I have no complaints! Just a word of advice to future campers, it can get very cold so make sure you have rated sleeping bags or plenty of layers!!

Mountain Cabin 1 of 3 in the Forest
Awesome
Truly wonderful for a romantic weekend getaway. Amenities are somewhat basic but we had everything we needed and more. It was a little cold in January, but we were provided extra blankets that made a big difference. Hosts were kind and made us feel welcome. We would stay here again!
