Hawaii is one of the most expensive places you can travel to, and <strong>even a campsite will set you back roughly \u00a315\u201335 per night.<\/strong> And prices just keep climbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem with staying in hotels or Airbnbs was that the comfort of daily wifi, a kitchen and breakfast would probably mean we&#8217;d only head out to explore Hawaii around nine or ten in the morning. That&#8217;s late by Hawaiian standards, because it gets dark here by 7pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We went to bed around eight or nine and woke up at half past five in the morning. We made deliberate trips for wifi and handled work that would normally take us a whole day in just a few hours. Our last campsite even had wifi, so after dinner we&#8217;d regularly pop online for two or three hours to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end we booked the first two nights in an Airbnb in Haiku, because we arrived late at night and the campsite near the main town of Kahului was closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heading_to_Hawaii_Grab_the_guidebook_we_used\"><\/span>Heading to Hawaii?

We knew that on most days there&#8217;d be nowhere to buy ingredients, and at the same time Hawaii has a steady daytime temperature of 29\u00b0C and 22\u00b0C at night, which meant we couldn&#8217;t really buy anything too fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1QfpmOg4GAYNLXB3TTRhIrPTQSC9kvmLSmPXmynDFGYw\/pubhtml?gid=264662565&amp;single=true&amp;widget=true&amp;headers=false\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was the backbone of our meals. It turned out that buying in bulk was a mistake, because although the Tikka Masala and the soups were organic with nothing dodgy in them (no additives or preservatives), by the second week we couldn&#8217;t stand the sight of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now and then we&#8217;d buy some fruit from roadside stalls, or pop into Foodland (a supermarket) for sushi or sandwiches. A couple of times we treated ourselves to food like the locals from the food trucks, and we also played tourist and went to a restaurant. Our weakness was cold drinks \u2014 we caved to those more often during the second week on the warmer side of the island. So if you want to do it on a tighter budget, you absolutely can. We had a budget of $65 a day, which also had to cover accommodation we hadn&#8217;t paid for in advance, petrol and food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"campgrounds\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Campgrounds_in_Hawaii_where_to_camp\"><\/span>Campgrounds in Hawaii: where to camp<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;re used to the spotless, well-kept campgrounds of the Canadian Rockies, so the run-down state of many in Hawaii often caught us off guard.

It&#8217;s a 3-hour drive from Haiku with a few short stops along the famous &#8220;Road to Hana&#8221;, which is said to be the most beautiful drive in Hawaii. &#8220;It&#8217;s a mess here,&#8221; \u2014 the jungle didn&#8217;t exactly impress Luk\u00e1\u0161.

If you go, set out early in the morning, as you walk in full sun the whole way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you decide on Waianapanapa, our advice is: cook early.

Although the guidebook said we&#8217;d be completely without signal here, paradoxically there was some. At first we got a bit spooked, because there&#8217;s literally nothing at the campsite \u2014 just grass in the middle of nowhere \u2014 but after a bit of exploring we found a spot to camp not far from the main site, right on the cliff above the ocean. And the sunset more than made up for all our initial disappointment over the smelly outhouses and lack of anywhere to wash, because swimming in the ocean isn&#8217;t recommended here and we couldn&#8217;t even find a way in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From here you can do two hikes: Waimoku Falls and Seven Sacred Pools. We headed to the waterfalls \u2014 it rained the whole time, but it only took just under three hours. Then we had to sleep in the tent covered in mud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hosmer_Grove\"><\/span>Hosmer Grove<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>1 night, pit-toilet style loos, drinking water, signal available<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From Kipahulu we took the loop route via Baldwin Beach near Kahului, where we had a swim and a shower. We recommend it \u2014 it&#8217;s well worth the stop. Hosmer Grove was the campsite where we nearly froze. It&#8217;s where most people sleep before hiking Haleakal\u0101. The next day we set off on our longest hike inside the crater, where we&#8217;d also be camping, so it made sense to sleep here. There&#8217;s nothing else nearby anyway. Be prepared to be cold at night \u2014 the temperature can drop close to zero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Otherwise it&#8217;s a nice little campsite with a shelter where you can cook when it rains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Haleakala_crater\"><\/span>Haleakal\u0101 crater<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a37deade98ee&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a37deade98ee\" class=\"aligncenter wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/haleakala.jpg\" alt=\"camping in Hawaii: Haleakal\u0101 crater, Maui, Hawaii\" class=\"wp-image-965\" title=\"\"><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><em>1 night, non-potable water, pit toilets, no signal<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We walked 21 kilometres to the campsite in the crater at Palik\u016b, where there&#8217;s also a cabin you can rent. Although after Hosmer Grove we&#8217;d braced ourselves for an insane cold, the morning was chilly but not freezing. By the cabin there&#8217;s a pit toilet, and when I walked in a swarm of flies launched at me, buzzing around my backside. The idea of just digging a little hole to do my business suddenly seemed far more appealing. There are strange birds called Nene wandering everywhere (they might not actually be ducks, but they look like them and make sounds like a cross between a cow and a duck).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Polipoli\"><\/span>Polipoli<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><em>1 night, non-potable water, pit toilet, weak signal<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last 3 miles to the campsite take 20 minutes to drive.

The pit toilet literally smelled of disuse. If we hadn&#8217;t booked the site in advance, we&#8217;d probably have turned around and driven off. On the way we came across wild pigs, which later wandered around our tent at night, grunting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Papalua_Beach_Park\"><\/span>Papalua Beach Park<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a37deadea36b&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a37deadea36b\" class=\"aligncenter wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/papalua_beach_park.jpg\" alt=\"camping in Hawaii: Papalua Beach Park, Hawaii, Maui\" class=\"wp-image-963\" title=\"\"><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><em>1 night, no water, well-kept pit toilet, signal available<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This beachside campsite sits between Kihei and Lahaina on the west coast, where it&#8217;s mostly sunny year-round with only the occasional shower.

Before long you&#8217;ll reach the first waterfalls, from where you continue right along the river until you reach the second falls, where you can take a dip. The trail then continues left, where there&#8217;s a rope you have to hold onto as you scramble up. You&#8217;ll reach waterfalls where you can play Tarzan and swing off the rope into the water.

The second car picked us up. From the summit we walked back to the visitor centre, where our two-day journey along the Keonehe\u02bbehe\u02bbe Trail began. From there you head steadily downhill across the parched crater to the first cabin, Kapalaoa, which appears after about 10.5 km from the start of the official trail. Don&#8217;t be fooled by the signposts \u2014 our Fitbits clocked far more miles than they showed. Around Kapalaoa the landscape starts turning green and you spot the first Nene birds. From the cabin it&#8217;s another 9 km to the Palik\u016b cabin, where we camped. This part is closer to Hana and is therefore completely covered in greenery. The walk took us 6.5 hours and the sun shone the whole time, so we arrived totally sunburnt despite layers of sunscreen. From the summit it was 21 km in total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next day we set off from Palik\u016b back to the car along the Halemau\u02bbu Trail. This trail led to the Holua cabin. Once again the landscape gradually shifted from green to barren wasteland that glowed red, black, brown and green. The first section was a gentle climb, but from the Holua cabin the last 8 km were steeply uphill across a green hillside. We practically had to scramble our way out of the crater. The Fitbit clocked 21 km in total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tip: You&#8217;ll need hiking boots, sunscreen of SPF 50 or higher, a rain jacket and several layers \u2014 be prepared for both cold and heat, and it will definitely be chilly at night. We made a mistake by only preparing for cold, because everyone told us to brace for it. But instead of rain, there wasn&#8217;t a single cloud in the sky for most of the trail. Carry enough water to the first cabin, where you can boil more or use a water filter, so you don&#8217;t have to lug more than 2 litres per person. Drink plenty \u2014 you&#8217;re near the equator, so make yourself drink at least a litre by the first cabin. Don&#8217;t forget a rain jacket, enough food for two days, and a water filter or a stove to boil it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What we brought with us:<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/spreadsheets\/d\/1QfpmOg4GAYNLXB3TTRhIrPTQSC9kvmLSmPXmynDFGYw\/pubhtml?gid=1975005601&amp;single=true&amp;widget=true&amp;headers=false\" width=\"800\" height=\"350\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Waihe%CA%BBe_Ridge_Trail\"><\/span>Waihe\u02bbe Ridge Trail<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a37deadee5c5&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a37deadee5c5\" class=\"aligncenter wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/www.loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/waihee_ridge.jpg\" alt=\"Waihe\u02bbe Ridge Trail, Maui, Hawaii\" class=\"wp-image-976\" title=\"\"><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>3 hours, around 10 km<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most beautiful thing in Hawaii after the Haleakal\u0101 crater.
