Kipahulu Campground

We had reservations for two night but ended up only staying one due to the rain. Awesome location, great experience and well maintained area! We will be camping here again, more prepared next time ;D

Incredible remote spot! We stayed in a camper van on spot 4..it’s a small spot but has shade in the afternoon. Highly recommend if you prefer peace and quiet as well as minimal services. Very remote campsite. There is no running water at the campsites, but they have bathrooms at the national park center close to the sites. Beautiful scenery and tons of lava rock on the ocean. This is NOT a beach campsite as it’s dangerously rocky and high waves.

We spent a couple of nights here in a campervan. A very laid-back national park campground. The campground is a large grassy area with plenty of space between each of the "sites". The best part was the proximity to the falls trail. We got up and started hiking before the crowds rolled down the Hana Highway and joined us on the trail.

Multiple on the water walk in sites. Car camp sites are away from the water, but still with views. Running water only in visitor center, no super close. Federal land. Gate seems open at nights, not positive though.

Love this campground very beautiful, the night was peaceful people were extremely respectful, listening to the waves at night was definitely relaxing.

This was the 2nd time I have stayed here. Such natural beauty everywhere. Most campsites are on grass and the toilets are clean. There are no showers at this location but water is available at the visitors center near by. 2 beautiful beaches near by, Koki Beach and Hamoa Beach. Take the hike up to the waterfall, past the bamboo forest and the Huge banyan tree, it is so worth it!

Quite easily the best campground experience in the whole of the US. Sleeping in a tent with the sound of the ocean right next to you is an experience of a lifetime.

Free camping, whats not to love? Just make sure to get here early to get a decent spot. If you are willing to walk a little ways there are a handful of camp spots out on the bluff with ocean views that allow you to escape the grassy sprawl. The big open area is chill at night with a lot of people cooking fish they caught that day or kicking it with friends. There are mosquitoes, so a little smoke from a fire can help keep them at bay. Also be ware of rotten noni fruit close the forest as they feel no so delightful on the barefoot.

Easily some of the cheapest camping you'll find on the island. Pit toilets were clean and there was 24 hour flush toilets nearby where you can refill your water. Lovely little park to wander around. Close to Hana too which has restaurants and beaches, although we brought food with us as well.

(Reviewed on: 12/14/2022) The Team Members working at the Visitor Center is extremely friendly, and knowledgeable about the area. We would love to see more support and growth in the merchandise and other displays featured here. There is great opportunity to grow the Visitor Center and have small picnic, gathering areas right outside for visitors to enjoy the surrounding trails, waterfalls, hikes, views. The reason why this is only 4/5 stars, in order to reach the center, you must pay the $30 USD entrance fee (per vehicle). This fee will give you parking and direct access to multiple hikes (Pipiwai trail all the way up to Waimoku Falls). If you're visiting Maui and are enjoying the road to Hana and if this is the end goal, please try to get here early (10am latest) to start your hike, as there will be a lot of sunlight still and we estimate at least 2 hrs for moderate speed (this takes into account time to pause for pictures, relaxing, and random off trail adventuring). A must if you're visiting from the mainland.

Stayed here for one night after an amazing hiking Experience through the bamboo forest to 3 waterfalls. If you want to spend more time at the waterfalls I highly recommend camping here to spend more time in this area. Very primitive Campground with pit toilets and some picnic tables. No running water. Bring your own or refill at visitor center. I used the picnic table to cook my dinner as the sun was setting, a pack of stray cats and some dogs were trying to knock off my little pot of rice off the stove. Be careful as the stray animals don't look like they are taken care of. I ended up eating in the car. This area does not have any restaurants. It's best to bring your own food. I did and it was great. The visitor center is nice and there's flush toilets, running water and a drinking water refill station. Both the Hikes that others have described is definitely worth exploring. Because of the stray animals, I ended up sleeping in the car which was fine for me. I met a few dogs on the trail while I was hiking too, that had a collar but no owner. Couple of us hikers tried to help them. Later realized they just roam around there.

Campground in Haleakalā National Park. It is located in the Kipahulu area. 3 nights is the maximum. We got our permit from the entrance from the park ranger. Ours was free, we have a National Park pass. Not sure if everyone gets it for free. Campground over looks the ocean and it has two outhouses. No showers! That's unfortunate. Lots of campsites to choice from and they also have bbq fire pit to bbq at.

Great campground! Located just under the pipiwai trail. Very quiet and clean, first arrived first served, you can tent or you can camp in your car/van. There are couples of bathrooms that has toilets only. They don't offer fresh water, wifi, electricity and showers. The beach is very close but has no acces from the camping. If you pay 25$ you get to camp in every state parks for 3days so this camping was free for me just by shower my ticket from the last day camping.

Great Campground Backside Of Hana and Haleakala! Well maintained little campground with some little trails to walk around on. There is a good hike to go to the falls also and a little loop hike around the pools. Not much for ocean swimming potential as the waves were pretty violently smashing into the rocks when we were there. There are abundant picnic tables for meal making. Fires are only allowed in the little metal fire grills on a pole coming out of the ground. There are outdoor outhouse accommodations, no showers or real toilets. Water for bottles can be found at the water bottle station outside the visitor center. Feral cats can be found wandering around looking for easy camper foods too. Stop by and camp a couple nights!

Great campground. Peaceful with a fantastic view. No beach access and they close down the pools a lot so I can be a bit much on hot days.
