Site 18 was fabulous. Look for a shortcut to it in the tall grass just after the rock wall. The grass hides the entrance, but is a real path.

After a great day of driving the Road to Hana we set up camp at Kipahulu and did some hiking in the area. The campground was very peaceful and right next to the ocean. We met some great people and that afternoon and enjoyed the moonlight in the campervan all night. We would recommend camping here.

We booked two nights, couldn’t make it the first night so we came early the next morning. “Someone” turned in our slip and checked us out and she cancelled our second night and gave it away within 30 min. And there was no other sites available. So we drive round trip 6 hours for nothing!!! We have camped here MULTIPLE times before and have missed the first night before and have never had this happen before. We love this campground so much so we will be coming back but I was so upset:((

My group of 3 campers had a wonderful experience! From the helpful ranger upon arrival, to the glorious hike through the bamboo forest to the waterfall, the upgraded catwalks through boggy areas and down to the Bay in Hana-town proper, we enjoyed every moment. Also, when we weren't sure of our exact departure time--before Hurricane Lala--the rangers made sure we knew of the park closure on what would have been the 2nd day of our trip. We heard in plenty of time to alter our plans to collect camp and drive out early to safety back home in Makawao before it hit Friday night!
