What Guests Are Saying

Hosmer Grove Campground offers a beautiful, quiet setting with stunning birdwatching opportunities and easy access to Haleakalā National Park. Campers appreciate the clean facilities, friendly rangers, and the convenience of a nature trail nearby. However, the campground lacks running water, and some facilities show signs of neglect, with issues like limited level parking and unpleasant odors from bathrooms. Overall, it serves as a great base for experiencing the park's breathtaking sunrises and sunsets.

Loved being able to stay here within the park with access to the park at ease without having to leave the park. Booking here may have to be done months out but thatʻs okay. Well worth it in the end!

Great camping close to the rim. Easy and lovely. Only 20 minute drive to sunrise. Plenty of time for hiking a bit of shifting sands trail before 10am checkout time. Keep receipt in case you go back to the park so you don't have to pay again. Highly recommend.

Great campground. Wonderful location to explore the park. Perfect for bird watchers. Also a good place to stay to watch the sunset and sunrise on the summit.

The campground is really beautiful. The smell of the eucalyptus is amazing. However, the park management could get together to add a shower at the campground. It would make the experience 100% better! A big thank you for the workers there. Super helpful and nice!

Nice camp ground. We were able to use this as a home base to see both the sunset and sunrise at the summit. It is about a 30 minute drive from the campsite to the summit. Each camp site has a picnic table and water spigot. There are a pair of pit toilets for the site, but no lights in the toilet rooms so make sure to bring a flashlight for when it gets dark. The only thing that annoyed me was that only about half the campsites were being used the night we were there, although the online system said they were all booked.
