The walk that starts right at the campground is very nice and yes, it gets cold at night so bring some warm socks! Well kept and a great outdoor experience, can highly recommend it!

The campground was peaceful and clean. There was a pair of NeNe that followed us around while we set up camp and curled up In front of the tent to sleep after. I highly recommend doing the sunrise viewing while you’re in the park. Park staff were also friendly and helpful.

Upon arriving at the gate, the park rangers are very welcoming and informative about how to navigate the campground and the national park itself. My reservation site was clean and ready to use. I’ve stayed overnight numerous times, the quality of the campground is consistent, and there will be more sleepovers in the future. Although Haleakala is mostly tropical, just bear in mind temperatures are going to fluctuate rather quickly, so layer up when you want to go hiking and bring the appropriate sleeping gear when you want to sleep. Have fun and stay safe in Haleakalā National Park.

Hosmer grove is a beautiful space to camp- small, quiet, a little pocket of well cared for openness tucked within the woods. Beautiful. I will be back for more time there- so many trails to explore! Thank you to the parks and rec people for caring for these spaces so we can enjoy them. ❤️

Camped here the night before hiking Sliding Sands. Convenient and quiet, with a light rain to make things interesting!

Open and clean campsite. Stargazing was exceptional. Lovely nature trail with lookout spots was just steps from the campsite, as was vehicle parking (though another camper's car alarm went off a few times). The drive to the summit for sunrise was delightfully quick when starting from the campsite. A couple of Nene greeted us in the morning as we were packing up camp.
