Perfect location to camp if you’re going to see the sunrise at the summit. Beautiful hiking trails. Clean and well kept area.

The campsites here are close together with no cover between sites is my only complaint. They had water taps, picnic tables, flat spots for tents, and charcoal barbecues. The site is located right next to a forest with lots of rare tropical birds and the trails are clear, though might be a bit hard to navigate for people with knee problems because of roots.

L’endroit est propre. Il y a des tables à pique-nique, des BBQ, des toilettes et de l’eau potable. Il est possible de stationner son véhicule dans le stationnement pour dormir. Pas besoin nécessairement d’une tente. Il devrait avoir plus de terrain de camping sur l’île de Maui. Les place sont très très limitées.

My two daughters (ages 10 and 12) and I stayed at Hosmer’s Grove in July. It was very delightful. While the nature trail did being in a few visitors to explore the Trees, it was never packed. The temps were pleasant and ideal (high 50’s/low 60’s) in July. There are pit toilets close to the campground and the visitor center is close by should one need more… restroom facilities were opened all night. In addition to being able to watch the sunset and sunrise, the star show was insane!! Truthfully, I didn’t get much sleep due to the excitement of the fabulous stargazing the night of a new moon!

Its a great place to stay and get a heads up on going up to watch the sunrise. The campground has good facilities - however the parking spaces are separate and not level except one.
