Super Fun
We stayed at Kumu's Camp for our Prince and Princess Camp this summer. The kids loved it and didn't want to go home!
Best RV Parks & Resorts in Hawaii
RV camping options on Hawaii's islands are limited but available for those touring by motorhome. Mālaekahana State Recreation Area on Oahu accepts RVs with drinking water available, electric hookups, and reservable sites, though without sewer connections or designated RV pads. Hosmer Grove Campground at Haleakalā National Park accommodates RVs with drinking water and permits required, while Polihale State Park Campground offers drinking water, showers, and sanitary dump facilities. Sand Island State Recreation Area near Honolulu stands out with big-rig friendly sites, drinking water, electric hookups, and dump station access. "This rec park is one of the least visited since the area is no longer as busy as it used to be. There are showers and bathrooms with beach access," noted one camper.
Most Hawaiian RV parks operate year-round due to the tropical climate, with peak visitor seasons during winter months and summer vacations. Advance reservations are strongly recommended as RV site availability is extremely limited throughout the islands. Pet policies vary by location—Sand Island and Hosmer Grove permit pets while others like Waiʻanapanapa and Mālaekahana prohibit them. Few parks offer full hookups, with electric connections typically limited to 15 amp service rather than the 30/50 amp connections mainland RVers expect. Propane refills are scarce near campgrounds, requiring advance planning. Road access to some parks involves navigating narrow, winding roads that can challenge larger motorhomes, particularly when traveling to remote locations like the Hana area where Waiʻanapanapa State Park is located.

TravelerKīpahulu Campground — Haleakalā National Park
Unforgettable experience
We camped at site 20, which was large and secluded. The sea was beautiful day and night. The restroom was about 10 minutes walk or 3 minutes drive. There was no shower facilities.
The campsite was close to the Pipiwai Trail. We had a great hike in the morning along scenic bamboo forests to the Waimoku Falls.
Important note for car campers: sites 18-20 are only accessible on foot and won't accommodate car campers. For the best experience, try to reserve sites 16-17, though sites 1-15 all allow car camping as well.

Terrible place
You definitely should avoid this place. The shower is a garden hose on the floor, the place was dirty and not welcoming AT ALL. Moreover the owner asked for money, saying that I broke the entrance... not worth the money!

Kumu Camp
Fantastic!
Stayed for five nights and loved it. A beautiful beach. It’s a locals area for sure, people drive on the beach a bit. Bungalow 7 was more in the jungle with lizards running and insects buzzing; it was also fairly connected to another unit by its deck- might not feel private if you didn’t know the other party. Bungalow 2 was beautiful! Right on the beach with the breeze. The bungalows have sweet outdoor showers, which was amazing as it was hot when we were there.
Saw many folks with rented trucks with tents on top. And just regular tenters/vanners as well. Free am coffee in a short window with cute cats.

Great spot if you can get one!
This was a great little campground! We showed up in the early afternoon and got the last spot available but only because the original person who got it had upgraded to a cabin. If you’re planning on staying here I’d definitely recommend getting here early! Once there though it was a great site. Super friendly people and beautiful area!

LegendHosmer Grove Campground — Haleakalā National Park
Camping vs Camground. Difficult to rate. Experience specific.
Camping at Hosmer is like camping in a neighbor's nice grassy yard with everyone from the HOA's kids and conversations. The campground is just a square patch of soft green grass with some grills and potable water spouts. There is a nice enclosed pit toilet and a covered grill area for bad weather.
There would be no appeal here except...
- The campground is at the entrance to the Haleakalā National Park, allowing you to wake up and explore as opposed to make an early drive a couple miles up a windy road if you were doing a longer hike.
- The campground is home to a nature trail through a Frankenstein'd woods where they planted numerous different trees after logging the area in the old days searching for a fast growing tree they could then log again. It's a little bit of the Pacific Northwest in Hawaii, but with all the Hawaiian plantlife as well.
- The bird watching is wild. The confluence of water and mixed plants makes this a perfect spot for bird watching, including some rare and endangered birds.
- Did I mention the location?
They offer reservations of up to 3 days per month, which offers ample opportunity to explore the park and the volcano crater fully, but it is not wilderness camping or amenable to any sort of RV. Know that at camp, if there is an a-hole (or group of a-holes), they are going to be part of your stay. Similarly, if there is an expert on local birds, they become part of the group too!

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.

Cozy Meadows Campground
Terrible experience
Had a terrible experience with this campsite. There was no address on the website, no directions provided, and only a pin on a google map was provided when I hit the "Get Directions" button. Despite an hour of searching, could not find the campsite. Talked to a number of people in the area, none of them had heard of the campsite. Called the contact number provided, no response. It was already late, so we had to sleep (didn't really sleep) in our vehicle at the side of the road. The next day sent an -email to the address on the website, no response. Asked for refund, no response. Terrible

Cozy Meadows Campground
Nice if nothing else is available
Shower : a poor garden hose at the entrance of the “camp”
Toilet : ok
Broken plastic table, Grill without any tank…
It’s definitely not a cozy place, it look like more an unoccupied land
