Kipahulu Campground
Oceanfront bluff-top camping at the end of the Road to Hana, a short walk from the Pipiwai Trail and the Oheo Gulch pools
An oceanfront campground in the Kipahulu district of Haleakala National Park, on a grassy bluff above the surf at the end of the Road to Hana. Camping here turns the notorious Hana drive from a rushed day trip into two relaxed days, and it puts the Pipiwai Trail and the Oheo Gulch pools a short walk from your tent, hours before the tour vans arrive. Facilities are minimal: pit toilets, picnic tables, grills, and no potable water at all. Bring every drop you plan to drink.
