Susi was Perfect!

It was the perfect car for the island. It’s very nice for driving difficult roads. The camping gear is everything you need to have a great time. Also the rooftop tent is very easy to use and super comfortable.

Beautiful place and location

We would definitely stay here again. The location is across the street from a popular beach. The hosts had everything we needed from beach towels, to beach chairs, even snorkel gear. The place was immaculate. We never used the on-site amenities due to our short time there and strict regulations but this place was perfect for us.

Great experience!

It was an amazing experience, would definitely recommend it to others. We did 4 nights in wai’napanapa state park and the vehicle did great going up and down the road to Hana and kings highway. The cooler, frying pan and pot could be a bit bigger, but all in all it was a great experience.

Awesome trip

Camping sites list was provided but I was a bit late in the process which made things a little complicated, make sure you plan your stays ahead of time. Setting up the tent is very easy, even in the dark, the road to Hana is lots of fun in a jeep.

Best way to get around and camp on Maui

The vehicle was great, and did everything we needed to do. Our hosts had thought of everything, and it was very well stocked for camping. Set up was fairly easy and the tent was quite comfortable. Lots of information regarding camping locations, etc. was provided and it all worked out really well. We would definitely do it again.

Amazing car and camping equipment!

We absolutely loved getting to use this car. The hosts were extremely helpful with providing extra blankets and a tarp since the weather mentioned rain. We love how organized the trunk was with the camping gear. It is a tight squeeze back there, so not many more items would fit. Plenty of enough space for 2 people, since we used the backseat for our luggage. It would be a bit more difficult with more than 2. Check-in process was a bit difficult only because on the listing it said they can meet at the airport, when I inquired they said they no longer do that (for valid reasons) so expect to uber to their house. It isn't a far uber but you will spend at least $15 each way.

Camping in Hana

We had a wonderful time with the jeep and tent! Pick up was very easy, Cecily was great and came out to explain everything to us. We drove to Hana and camped at Kipahulu the first night, Wai'anapanapa State Park our second night. We went slow, let locals pass, honked at blind corners and the drive felt fine. The waterfalls were incredible, and we made sure we weren’t swimming on private land or in sacred spaces. The park rangers were helpful in letting us know which falls were ok to swim in. We had all the gear we needed and as two adults and a 6 year old appreciated the extra tent! It rained on and off throughout the night and we stayed completely dry. It was a great way to experience the east side of the island without having to drive in one day. Visited Hamoa and Koki beach both gorgeous, stopped at Caroline’s fruit stand, locally owned, had fresh coconut and the most amazing smoothie made from nothing but fresh fruit. Bought the most beautiful lei for my daughter from a small roadside stand in front of a home. Lots of interesting stuff about the history of the coastal villages at Haleakalā we didn’t have enough time to appreciate. Highly recommend, was a great experience overall!

Great vehicle and camper

We had a great time with Suzie. We learned how to use everything very quickly and was able to set up camp or stop and cook quickly and easily. Very clean and well organized. We had a great time. Highly recommended if this is your kind of thing.

About the host

Hosted by Cecily Overton

Maui Camping Vehicles is owned and operated by Jay (born and raised on the island of Maui) with partner Cecily (from upcountry Maui). We are dedicated to facilitating safe, affordable, and fun Maui adventures with all the freedom and indulgence a vacation on wheels entails. We are proud to be able to offer an amazing opportunity to explore for those who really want to get to know the island outside of resort life.

Why they chose this property

We were pretty much in love with this Jeep by the time we bought it. In fact we were hesitant to turn it into a rental, for fear that we would be jealous of our guests. But, alas, practicality won out, and we are very jealous.

What makes this property unique

I think you could safely call the experience that we offer glamping!
