Camp Olowalu

Maui Hawaii County Park Kanaha Beach Campground

***\*Aloha Please Read to the Bottom of this Page! Maui Private Location. This is such a good deal. \****

This elevated camping experience evokes a peaceful surrounding of nature with the sound of birds. The open-air tent includes two xl-twin beds with bedding and towels. It is very private; there are no other campers around.

The private tent is on a platform with an outdoor sitting area under an awning (in case of rain), plenty of space for gear, and LED night-time lighting. A toilet is nearby, a cooler, tables, and chairs are also provided.

The quaint Maui jungle/forest setting is on shared land with a host or hostess on site. For “Lovers of Nature” (hint, hint.) it is a unique experience.

The shared space includes a Spa Like Outdoor Shower and Restroom, picturesque views, and a hiking trail just a few steps away. The outdoor sitting and eating area in the Gazebo is very relaxing.

Fair-priced “Extras” are available after check-in.

The toilet by the tent is intended for sssssss only, primarily for girls (sorry, guys)

If you need anything, please ask. I am sure I can find what you need.

**Here are some do's and dont's that will make your trip perfect. Aloha & Mahalo**

**Do** bring mosquito repellent. **DO NOT** spray the tent or bedding or chairs, etc., with bug spray or essential oils. Put your repellent on you and your clothing only ---please! Do bring repellent to the shower area.

**Do** raise your feet when entering a tent. It is not flat and can cause you to stumble or fall.

**Do** leave your shoes outside If it rains or is muddy. Rain causes everything to be very slippery and muddy, so take each step with caution.

**Do not** leave food in the tent or the garbage can. All food waste can be put in the tall cane grass and will be used by the natural critters. Ask me for an extra garbage sack or paper bag if you plan to drink anything in a recyclable can or bottle. We kindly and firmly want this private site to be a **Leave No Trace Area**.

**Do** keep the bottom zipper part of the tent entrance closed as much as possible; this will keep most bugs out.

**Do** rinse your dishes in the grassy area or other places away from the tent.

**DO** consider travelers’ insurance. Air traffic delays, rental car shortages, and changes in weather conditions.

**Do recycle**. There is a bag on the chair for cans and bottles.

If it has or is raining or will, a 4-wheel drive vehicle will be needed. We have other parking within walking distance in case of slippery mud. Keep in mind if you need to leave the site at any time and the weather may get wet then use the lower parking for the wet season We have parking a few feet away from the tent for those who need to leave early in the morning.

Contract and Waiver\* I will need a picture of your driver's license and anyone who will be camping with you for all our protection. **Please read the damage to property from The Dyrt site so that you know this works since we do not hold deposits.**

I/We at this moment waive, release, and discharge any claims for damages for personal injury, death, or property damage which *the renter(s)* may have, or which may hereafter accrue to me, as a result of participation in outdoor tent camping and use of expressed facilities of the property as listed in the Contract.

I/we have been told that we are camping and parking our vehicle in a macadamia nut tree forest and the macadamia nuts drop 9 months of the year and may put a dent in your vehicle. Vehicle parking away from the tent is available upon request. It is understood that this activity involves an element of risk and danger of accidents, knowing and unknowing risks; I/We, at this moment, assume those risks.

Pre-payment through camping platforms made online, such as The Dyrt, or other platforms, made with your credit card or debit card, creates a contract between you and your guest and us at Maui Tent Ohana.

IN CASE OF RAIN OR HIGH WINDS. We do not offer refunds due to weather conditions. Always be prepared for winds and rain while camping. Our tent is on a platform, so water getting into the tent is highly unlikely. There is a rain fly on the tent and a 20 x 20 ft tarp, just for this reason. Our *Core Brand* tent can handle 40 mph winds. Mother Nature or the Weather is an Unpredictable Force of Nature; we request you participate for the safety of yourself and others.

- *\* This is an edited version of the contract and waiver agreement that you will be signing when you arrive.*





Maui Tent Ohana

Papalaua Wayside Park

Haleakalā Volcano, on the Hawaiian island of Maui, is a massive shield volcano that rises more than 10,000 feet above the Pacific Ocean, and makes up more than 75% of the island’s land mass. Its name, Haleakalā, is Hawaiian for “House of the Sun,” and is steeped in Hawaiian legend. More modern references attribute it to the spectacular sunrises observed from the rim of the summit crater. In an effort to preserve and protect the volcano’s spectacular summit crater, as well as the Kipahulu Valley rainforest on the volcano’s eastern slope, Haleakalā National Park was established in 1961. The majority of visitors to the park drive the long, winding road to the summit viewpoints and visitor center. The small number of adventurers who descend into the crater can explore an otherworldly landscape of colorful cinder cones, lava flows and other volcanic features.   

For those interested in a little primitive camping on the flank of this sleeping giant, the Hosmer Grove Campground provides close access to the summit’s viewing areas and hiking trails. The campground is located partway up the mountain, just 0.5 mile past the park’s entrance station. From Kahului, it’s only about 28 miles, but the winding road makes the drive pretty slow. Hosmer Grove offers 10 campsites in a large, grassy area surrounded by foreign and native woods. Campsites have picnic tables and cooking grills, and vault toilets are available. Campfires are not permitted, but contained camp stoves are allowed. The campground is situated at 7,000 feet above sea level, right in Haleakalā’s “cloud belt,” so it’s often cool and foggy, and overnight temps can plummet below freezing. Free camping is first-come, first-served, with a three-night limit..  

Taking in Haleakalā’s summit sunrise show requires making a long, slow, winding drive up the mountain in the blackness of night to reach the viewing areas before sunrise. In efforts to alleviate road and parking congestion at the summit, the national park has implemented a permit requirement to access the viewing areas. These can be obtained up to 60 days in advance from the recreation.gov website. Permits are only required for driving up the mountain between 3am and 7am. Dress warmly, as it is cold on the summit rim. Hikers will find more than 30 miles of trails that journey down into the crater for exploring its many features. There is no shade or water on the crater floor, and temperatures can vary significantly, so pack along plenty of water and sunscreen. Also, due to the soft, sandy nature of the trails, plan on spending twice as much time to hike out as to hike in.


Hosmer Grove  - Haleakala National Park

There are two primitive wilderness tent camping areas which are accessible only by trail, Hōlua and Palikū. Reservations are required for both campsites through www.recreation.gov. The reservation system is live as of April 22, 2021 at 7 am HST.

Each single campsite allows a maximum of five people and two tents.
Group campsites allow for a maximum of ten people.
Hōlua and Palikū campsites have pit toilets and seasonally non-potable water available nearby. The water must be filtered or treated before drinking. In times of drought, all water must be carried in.
Horses, mules, and donkeys are permitted as pack animals on the Keoneheʻeheʻe Trail, Halemauʻu Trail, and Supply Trail. All waste produced by pack animals must be removed from parking areas and trailheads. No group may have more than 12 pack animals. Riders, commerical operators, and owners are responsible for the removal of dead or injured stock within 72 hours. Pets of any other kind are prohibited on all trails.

Holua Primitive Wilderness Campsite - Haleakala National Park - Maui

Hawaii is known for its beautiful beaches, stunning views of Diamond Head, and relaxed way of life. But one thing that is often overlooked by visitors (and really shouldn’t be!) is the amazing experience of camping in Hawaii.


The Hawaiian Islands are made up of eight main islands, including Hawaii, Maui, Oahu, Kahoolawe, Lanai, Molokai, Kauai and Niihau. Each one offers unique camping experiences and different activities.


Oahu, home to the city of Honolulu, and the most populated island, offers a unique blend of city comforts and tropical vibes. The southernmost coast is where you’ll find popular tourist destinations like Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach, and Hanauma Bay. Due to the number of people that live on this part of the island, there are limited camping areas, but just a short drive makes a big difference.


On Oahu’s Windward coast, expect stunning views of the Ko’olau mountains and the turquoise waters of Lanikai and Kailua. Bellows is a great camping spot right on the beach away from the bustle of Honolulu, and only a few minutes drive from the popular Maunawili hike trailhead. Permits are required to go camping in Hawaii, and sites usually book up in advance, so be sure to call a few weeks ahead if you want to get a spot.


If relaxing in nature and getting away from the crowd is what you’re after, Keaiwa Heiau State Recreation Area, located inland near Aiea, provides visitors with lush forest views, and is the site of a former temple of Hawaiian healing. It is also near the trailhead for the Aiea Loop Trail, a popular 4.5 mile hike with stunning mountain vistas, and is just a short drive away from Pearl Harbor.


The Big Island, the largest of the Hawaiian islands and known for its diverse landscape and constantly flowing lava, is another great option if you are looking to do some camping in Hawaii. Camping permits are available for Punalu’u, Hawaii’s famous black sand beach, which has a reputation for great snorkeling and fishing and for sea turtle sightings. You can also snag one of 16 campsites in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Sites are available on a first come, first served basis, and although it’s a little more rustic (there are restrooms but no showers), it’s probably worth it to be able to camp at “one of the most unique campsites to visit in the world”.


Whether you’re camping in Hawaii for the first time, or just looking for a new favorite spot, The Dyrt has you covered.
