Reservations for Hosmer Grove Campground at Haleakala National Park will go live at recreation.gov starting on Tuesday, park officials announced.
As with sunrise viewings, reservations are now required for the campground, where space was previously allotted on a first-come, first-served basis, according to a park news release. Starting at 7 a.m. Tuesday Hawaii time, reservations will be available online for stays through Dec. 1, and then on a rolling six-month basis thereafter. Camping costs $5 per night with a three-night maximum stay over a 30-day period. Entrance fees are paid upon entering the park.
Each Hosmer Grove campsite allows a maximum of five people and one tent. The sites each have one picnic table and a fire pit with attached grill. Campers must bring their own charcoal; no wood collecting is permitted. Camping trailers or pop-up campers require a campsite reservation — which allows use of the picnic table and grill — and are only permitted in corresponding parking spaces. While the site has a water station and vault toilets, there are no showers or electrical outlets.
Pets are allowed on leashes no longer than 6 feet within the campground and on the roads within campground boundaries.
Quiet hours are 10 p.m. to 8 a.m., which checkout time at 11 a.m.
Campsite reservations are expected to fill quickly, and people are strongly encouraged to plan ahead, the news release said.
Park visitors must create an account at recreation.gov prior to making a reservation on the website, which is also used for sunrise reservations and wilderness campsites in Haleakala Crater at Paliku and Holua.
The wilderness cabins and Kipahulu campground remain closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
