Best RV Parks & Resorts near Lahaina, HI

Camp Olowalu provides RV sites just 10 miles south of Lahaina, offering a convenient base for exploring West Maui. This established campground accommodates motorhomes in a dedicated dirt lot area separate from tent camping, though it lacks electric and sewer hookups. Pālāʻau State Park Campground, located on Molokai Island, features more comprehensive RV amenities including electric hookups, water connections, and a sanitary dump station. Haleakalā National Park's Hosmer Grove Campground accepts RVs but with limited services - water hookups are available but no electric connections. As one camper noted, "The campervan site is just a dirt lot, but it's pretty big and right next to the showers and toilets."

Seasonal availability varies across these rv parks, with most operating year-round despite Hawaii's occasional heavy rains. Advance reservations are essential, particularly during winter months when snowbirds seek warmer camping destinations. Cell service is generally reliable near Lahaina but becomes spotty in more remote locations like Haleakalā. Pet policies differ between campgrounds - Camp Olowalu and Pālāʻau welcome pets, while Waianapanapa State Park prohibits them. RV campers should note that many Maui campgrounds have limited big rig accessibility, with Camp Olowalu specifically noted as not big-rig friendly. Propane refill stations are available in Kahului, approximately 30 minutes from Lahaina, making it advisable to arrive with full tanks when planning extended stays.

    Hosmer Grove Campground — Haleakalā National Park

    Hosmer was awesome.

    You would not think about cold weather gear when camping on Maui, but we used it here. It was cold and wet both nights. We were prepared and had a great time; camping here made it much easier to drive up for the sunrises and sunsets each day.

    We will camp here again!!

    Hosmer Grove Campground — Haleakalā National Park

    A free drive up campground on the volcano

    One of the few completely legal free places to stay on Maui. Why is it free? This campground is in the cloud layer, so be prepared for a humid moist stay. You would be hard pressed to get a fire going here. This campground is past 7,000 ft so be prepared for high winds and cold temperatures. If you enjoy cold weather you will get a great night of sleep here.

    Kīpahulu Campground — Haleakalā National Park

    Great campground

    This campground is located in the Kipahulu district of Haleakala National Park. It offers very basic amenities, including cooking grills and vault toilets, with drinking water available only at the visitor center.  I can join activities such as playing slope game. Campsites operate on a first-come, first-served basis, featuring grassy areas that are unmarked except for the presence of grills and picnic tables. The atmosphere is peaceful, with the soothing sound of waves crashing against the rocky coastline below. At night, the stargazing is spectacular! We camped at Kipahulu National State Park in a camper van.

    Maui Tent Ohana

    Beautiful surroundings & close to quiet beach

    Sensational OLD Maui away from the crowded resorts, yet close to the beach and easy to get into town. Peaceful, tropical place to camp with Iao Mountain views. Easy to get to, very close to town and Whole Foods, but it seems like it's miles away. Lots of fruit and avocado trees everywhere, and quick easy hike up to a swimming hole.

    Camp Olowalu

    Gorgeous, quiet, (almost) everything you need

    What a darling little spot. Would return in a heartbeat, and honestly probably will before the month is up. Had two glorious nights there and now I don't want to camp anywhere else in Maui because I was so spoiled.

    Pros

    • To echo other folks, absolutely LOVED the outdoor showers - and yes, they get hot. Felt utterly luxurious. Toilets and sinks remain clean and odorless. 
    • Easy sandy beach access! Pebble-side great for hanging up hammocks.
    • Can take relatively affordable kayaking tours from the campgrounds or rent SUP/kayaks for very affordable rates. 
    • Free coffee in the morning! 
    • Has its own teensy general store and a walkable larger market down a half mile and across the street. Famed pie place next door. 
    • Pet-friendly!

    Cons

    • Literally 8 plugs for a bajillion people causing a massive traffic jam in the mornings and evenings. On the side of the ice house only (not even near campgrounds).
    • Not that you need it, but if you do - weak wifi signal beyond the toilet/shower area. 
    • Absolutely no shade at all on any sites, save for one campsite (campsite #1). 
    • Beware the wind!!! Because it's open air with no shielding trees, sooo many people evacuated to sleep in cars or resigned to/woke up to collapsed tents because of high winds. 

    Overall

    4.5/5. Absolutely worth it. LOOOOOVE.

    Kīpahulu Campground — Haleakalā National Park

    Last stop on the Hana Highway

    I discovered this campground by accident when an avid camper/ bartender in Maui pointed me in this direction with a hand-drawn map (see photos) It was easily my favorite camping spot during my week in Maui.

    The campground itself is nothing to speak of- it looks mostly like a big green field with sites designated by grills and parked cars. From the parking/grill area however, you could wander off the path and find sites right on the cliffs under big trees with picnic tables. As a hammock camper, I found a tree to sleep under towards the edge of the cliff with a view of the ocean from my bed--and I was able to watch the sunrise over the Pacific without even getting out of my sleeping bag!

    Amenities at the campground are basic- but you get what you pay for. There is no fee to camp here for up to 3 days as long as you've paid the Haleakala NP entrance fee --which of course everyone who makes it to the end of the Hana highway does anyway!

    There's plenty of hiking around the campground in the national park- the most popular is the Waimoku falls that you reach by hiking through the bamboo forest up the Pipiwai trail. Camping at Kipahulu means that you can hit the trail early before the resort /day visitors make it to this side of the island. The campground is also very close to the Seven Sacred Pools (which were more mud than sacred looking during our visit).

    For sunset, there is an unmarked trail that begins in the South East corner of the campground and will take you up over the cliffs for a good evening view. You can also hike down to some pools to swim if the tide is low.

    Note that this campground is pretty far away from the closest town so you'll want to be sure you're all stocked up on fuel, water, and all the things you need when you pass through Hana. There aren't any showers, but if you're driving back north, you can always pop into Waianapapana State Park and hit their outdoor shower.

    Camp Olowalu

    Relaxing and clean camping spot!

    Our first time here we tent camped. Some of the sites seemed close together but we stayed at the end and had good privacy with the trade off of a long trip to the bathrooms.  The shared bathrooms are great! Clean, flush toilets, and running water.  Showers and dishwashing stations also a plus.  Free coffee for early risers.   You can see the beach from a few campsites.  Like most camping in Hawaii, bring your earplugs for the roosters.

    Waiʻanapanapa State Park Campground

    A beautiful campground near Hana

    This campground has nearby bathrooms and outdoor showers. It is located with a beautiful view of the black rock beach and the nearby blowhole. Lots of grassy areas for tents. A very family friendly location.

    Remember, if you book online, which you should, you need to print out your permit and display your permit on your tent. Rangers come around daily.

    Camp Olowalu

    Great amenities, nothing super special for tent camping

    This campsite would be amazing for wedding parties! For tent and car campers, it’s nothing super special. ALTHOUGH! The outdoor shower is an AMAZING experience. To look up at the stars and trees and smell the fresh air while showering outside in an enclosed area was incredible. The beach is underaverage in my opinion (not the typical Hawaii experience). Close to local shops and fairly close to Lahaina!
