Under New Management, welcome back the Stargazer Campsite in Hana, Maui. Three miles from downtown Hāna, one mile from Waianapanapa State Park, and close to Hana Farms, The Lava Tubes, and Kahanu Garden. Our ocean view property has a field of tropical flowers underneath some of the largest banyan trees on the island. We are located in the middle of dense jungle far away from the city. The beauty of the outdoors includes the home of the animals and creatures we share the land with. The winter brings its own crab spiders (not harmful), and all year long we have geckos, mosquitos, wild pigs and dogs in the surrounding neighborhood that are beyond our control. Also please know that we currently have a friendly guard dog and two sweet cats living on the property. OUTDOOR provides: Carport tented area with seating, internet reception, and a makeshift kitchen equipped with minimal cooking wares, propane camp stove, and potable county water (all supplied). We have a small fire pit when the winds are calm. Bring wood, or you can try and salvage from the jungle when dry. CAMPER VANS / POP UPS: THE ONLY FLAT SPOTS AVAILABLE FOR CAMPER VEHICLES ARE THE BANYAN SITES. These spots have a gravel rock bottom and are not suitable for pitching a tent. We get this question all the time so let me try and clarify here. ALL OTHER PARKING SPOTS ARE ON A HILL AND NOT FLAT. TENT SITES: - ON PAUSE CURRENTLY You will NOT be able to drive to the TENT ONLY sites. You have to park your vehicle in the designated parking area and then walk to and sleep in the tent with your sleeping gear from your van (About 100 feet away from parking area). Because ONLY TWO PEOPLE PER SITE ARE ALLOWED per reservation. You have two options. Option 1: IF YOU HAVE FOUR PEOPLE - BOOK TWO CAMP SITES. Option 2: ADD YOUR 2 ADDITIONAL PEOPLE UPON CHECK OUT and contact me so I can block off the second site. This is because we have limited resources (Space, Kitchen, Bathroom, Shower etc) so we have to be mindful of how many people we are hosting in one night. IF YOU SHOW UP WITH MORE PEOPLE THEN BOOKED - YOU WILL BE CHARGED $44.00 PER ADDITIONAL PERSON. If you have a children 6 years and younger there is no charge but we would still like to be informed that there will be extra people in your party. Please contact us and get permission before you just show up with extra people. CHECK IN: Between 5-7pm. We currently request quiet hours at 8pm to be courteous to our neighbors and campers. And lights on a timer go out at 10pm. The sun and moon will rise over the ocean in front. HANA PREPAREDNESS INFO: The East side of the island is considered the rain forest. It typically rains almost every night and during the day at some point or another. And sometimes very heavy rains. This keeps it lush and green with running waterfalls, but with that, Hana does have mosquitoes too, (worse in the summer) so plan accordingly. We have a few mosquito nets (first come first use) if you need them for your car/van just ask. The jungle also has its own wildlife like spiders, geckos and also wild pigs that activate the neighborhood dogs at times so bring ear plugs if you are sensitive to noise. The Hāna Highway is one of the most magical roads in the world and we appreciate when you let the locals pass. If you have any requests or concerns, just let us know. We aim to please and look forward to hosting you! And be sure to make a reservation to visit the State Park Waianapanpa Black Sand Beach at their website. That is the only park in Hana that requires advanced reservations and it is a must see! The 7-10AM slot is the best for less crowds. FOOD: Be sure to, stock up on groceries before you come out as choices are very limited in Hana and the town closes down early @7pm. We have one gas station (open later) and two small general stores. You will find food trucks in Hana town open later when business is good but its hit or miss what will be open when. 1/2 mile walking distance to camp we have Acai Bowls, Thai Food, and Hana Farms. Every Friday and Saturday nights is Pizza night at Hana Farms and a popular meeting spot.

Beautiful spot thats close enough to town while still being nice and secluded. Quite a few plants in the yard. Amenities were super useful (stove, cooking utensils, outdoor temp regulated shower). Dales a great dude.

Bamboo Zone - TENT Only
We have to say we were very desapointed by that place. Since the others comments were very positive, we were very surprised by what we saw. It looks like a place that used to be fantastic, but that is now not taken care of. The surrounding is very beautiful and the view, but most of the common facililities were broken and not cleaned : the fridge was dirty, the chairs were broken, the common house was falling apart.... In summery, this place was not worth. We did not have the chance to meet AJ but we discussed by e-mail. She answered quickly and seemed nice.

AJ is AWESOME!
I hear AJ is leaving Stargazers. It will be sad to see her go because her fairy vibes brought so much magic to the space. 🧚‍♀️ I am hoping the next crew keeps the location just as nice. My boyfriend and I live on Maui so this is the perfect weekend getaway! I look forward to meeting the new host the next time I come back.

Great experience
Thank you , we had a great experience. It was easy to find campground ( directions were very detailed). Our bamboo tent was a bit far away hidden in jungles which made our experience awesome. Totally recommended. Campground has a shower, full kitchen, refrigerator, Wi fi & friendly semi-feral cats preying around.
