Ke'anae Uka

It’s really outrageous, it’s not a private camping area at all, it’s more like just finding a lawn with a public toilet for you to camp on. The cost of camping for one night is USD $116.90, which is extremely exaggerated. The toilet and bathroom are full of cockroaches! It's super unhygienic and the most important thing is that there is no hot water at all and there is not enough water to take a bath. There is no management staff controlling the camping area, so don’t let the reviews fool you. I would rather give 0 stars, Ridiculous!

This spot is about 1/2 way to Hana which made it perfect for us as we arrived in Maui at 2pm and didn’t prefer to travel after dark. I communicated frequently via email and appreciated the fact that I always received a prompt response! I let them know that my arrival would likely be after their typical check in and they sent instructions for access to the property, WiFi, and a quick layout of the land. We arrived and found the place seemingly empty. Because we were in a 4WD vehicle, we were able to park on the lower portion of the property and the view was stunning. The restrooms were clean and the shower was nice and hot! We stayed here on our way to Wai'anapanapa State Park and ultimately decided to stay again on our way back. Mahalo for the hospitality!

We stayed in a shared cabin bunkhouse, and had the entire place to ourselves. $50/night per person. If you stay here, sheets are provided, but you need to bring a pillow, blanket if you need one (~70 degrees at night, so I didn't), towel, and dishes to eat off of (plastic or paper dishware). They provided an electric 2-burner cooktop, pots and cooking utensils as well, and there is a bathhouse with shower facilities. This is a former YMCA camp now operated by a local community nonprofit. Enjoy the beautiful views above the Ke'Anae Peninsula of the ocean and taro fields, and relax and enjoy this special place. Kind kamaaina operate the facility and keep it tidy.

A former YMCA that is now under the management of local residents. The owner Junior is a very nice guy who will not only give you information about Ke'Anae, but also about the history and life of the locals. There are showers with hot water, toilets and a large camping area. The view from the patio is spectacular and there is even WiFi available!

Paying USD$116 for a night is pricey, but we decided to stay at this campground mainly because of its convenient location. It's situated halfway along the Hana road, which is our only reason. The campsite shared a small grassy area and was located right next to the road, so there was some noise at night. The hot shower was available, but it was quite old and rough. No privacy in the shower room. There were no other facilities or views to enjoy. Overall, I don't believe it was worth the price, especially when compared to other campgrounds like Camp Olowalu, where we had a more enjoyable experience for a similar cost.

The only thing good about this campground is the view. Showers and toilets are poorly maintained nowhere to wash your dishes or cook nor any picnic tables and the dining hall was locked. All of this for over 100$/night for the two us is a scam!
