CAMPING ON MAUI
Camping is the best way to explore this island! With your bed on wheels and thoughtfully selected camping gear you can go (nearly!) anywhere. We have some great connections and campgrounds for you to explore depending on whether you’re looking to start your day with a hike to the Haleakala summit or if you want to roll off your sleeping pad and into the ocean. You can’t pitch your tent or sleep in your vehicle wherever you want, but this is as close as you get. No race to beat the crowds and no rushing back to your hotel. Have a look at the beautiful campgrounds Maui has to offer and contact us about alternative options to suit your itinerary. In all cases you need to make reservations to secure a spot in advance. Get in touch and we will help you get it sorted. In peak season (Dec - March) you’ll want to plan well ahead as they fill up fast!
