Those who love the great outdoors will not
be disappointed on Maui, a haven for budget-seeking campers
who want to experience a diverse range of terrains. Adventure
is the name of the game, with options from camping in the
interior of a volcano, in the lush rainforest, or by the
tropical coast.
Conditions can vary, from hot to cold temperatures and dry
to wet weather. For campers who want to venture into an
extreme experience, Mt. Haleakala is the top destination, as
it simulates the moon’s landscape, an area where U.S. astronauts
are trained. So pack your survival gear with you when visiting
this camping site.
Those who plan to camp in the Waianapanapa
region should bear in mind that rainshowers occur frequently
here, so rain jackets should be included in your list of things
to bring.
Visitors at the Haleakala National Park (808) 572-4400 can
expect an amazing campground, with spaces inside the crater
for free tent camping. Alternatively, a cabin can rented
for those who want to sleep in comfort. Other state campgrounds
include the Waianapanapa Black Sand Beach and the Polipoli
Park. Camping permits at $5 per night per party may be obtained
from the State Parks Office (808) 984-8109.
