The property is located on Maui island in the Kula district on the drier side of Haleakala. In days before western contact the area was heavily forested with native plants and trees and rainfall was abundant. The native Hawaiian grew bananas, taro and sweet potato.  After Western contact businessmen mostly from the United States developed huge tracts of land for ranching and farming which cleared the native forests and destroyed the eco system from the mountain to the sea. Many of the Hawaiian people moved away nearer to the towns and immigrant Chinese laborers from the ranches and plantations moved in. The Chinese brought in the Wattle tree to plant for firewood as these trees grew very fast. These are the majority of the trees that you see today. As part of the Chinese immigration, the founder of modern China, Sun Yat Sen lived here for a time and planned his revolution to overthrow the last Chinese Dynasty. There is a park dedicated to him nearby. We have picnic tables a propane grill, a fire pit and a covered gazebo that is shared with 3 cabins This site is located at the 2800 ft altitude and the temperature at night can range from mid 50 to mid 60 degrees F. If you are planning to go to Haleakala, we are about 45 -60 minutes to the summit. We are also on the south side approach to Hana. There is a great restaurant for breakfast and lunch about 10 minutes away in Keokea town called Grandma's Coffee house.

Camper Van #4 Parking in the forest
Loved camping at Alika’s place! It really is so peaceful and beautiful up there. I saw several butterflies flying around in the morning. The trees are gorgeous and it was nice and cool to sleep. I also felt super safe there! Really beautiful campsite! Great bathroom and showers. I feel blessed I got to stay there.

Camper Van #5 Parking in the Forest
Car camping with a view
Had the whole place to ourselves, which made the experience so tranquil and peaceful. Had a beautiful view of the sunset and the stars. Bathrooms and showers were clean and had hot water, which was a plus. Would highly recommend and stay again.

Camper Van #4 Parking in the forest
Great spot for a night
We looked for a camper van campground close to summit sunrise. This was the closest we could find and it was great. Private and very clean toilets, warm water shower and very quiet.

Ground Tent site in the forest
This is a beautiful property with amazing views. We booked the ground tent site in the forest and this was a nice spot to come back to after our full days of adventuring The bathrooms, showers, and whole set up were great and the host was very accommodating. We would definitely book this spot again!
