Camp at Wai'anapanapa State Park

12/30/15

I camped here with a group of friends while on a backpacking trip around Haleakala and east Maui. The campgrounds have bathrooms and outdoor showers. I took my first freshwater shower here after five days of roghing it so that was a real treat. I was very tired after hiking and hitchiking so unfortunately I did not explore most of what the park has to offer. The campgrounds consist of mostly an open grassy area, and a smaller wooded area closer to the beach with park benches; If I recall correctly, there are charcoal grills there as well. There are no marked spots for camping so as long as you have a permit, you're free to camp wherever provided you are within the camping area. Also, please ensure that you have a permit as the park's workers do go around and check; The permit number written down on a paper attached to one of the tents in the group sufficed in our situation.
