FAQ
General
The Department of Parks and Recreation on the island of Maui currently offers permits to county parks for overnight camping. Permits can be obtained in person at any park permit office on a first come, first serve basis. Park permit offices are located throughout the county and can be found here (add hyperlink) with hours and operations. Campers are required to follow all campground guidelines and rules.
We are happy to answer any questions you have, and help direct you to the proper channels so you can book your campsites with ease.
Do I need to make a reservation at a campsite, or can I just pull over on the side of the road and set up camp?
There is no boon-docking on Maui. If you pull off on the side of the road to camp, you run the risk of getting in trouble with law enforcement. If the main campsites on the island are booked, try looking at Hipcamp and Airbnb. Locals sometimes list their private land for visitors to camp on those platforms.
It depends on if you plan on camping at some of the higher elevations on Maui. Often times, sleeping bags are too heavy for much of the climate on the island and take up some of the space that could be utilized for your luggage and personal items. We are happy to offer sleeping bags complimentary, upon request (max 2 per vehicle, with more available as add-ons). We recommend packing some clothing to layer as temperatures can drop down to the 60s on some nights.
