Has anyone stayed in a cabin at Wai%26lsquo;anapanapa State Park?

I haven%26#39;t stayed there. I did notice them when we went to the park. Be aware that they are most likely very rustic accomodations.

On the positive, The park itself is beautiful. One of my favorite spots on Maui. It would be a nice place to stay if you wanted many waterfall hikes nearby. The downside is that it would be a really long drive to get to the calm beaches of Maui. It is really remote compared to much of Maui. If this is your first time to Maui, I%26#39;d strongly consider staying there for only a part of you time on the island.

Has anyone stayed in a cabin at Wai%26lsquo;anapanapa State Park?

Each cabin is two rooms. The main room has a kitchen with a fridge and a stove and two beds The back room as more beds, and there is a real bath with a shower. Oh, and there is electricity. It is a step up from tent camping, but still quite rustic.

Each cabin has a BBQ but we always bring our own because I know it is clean. The kitchen is stocked with an interesting assortment of kitchen ware, but we usually bring all of our own. I can be a bit fussy about other people%26#39;s stuff. Same with the linens. There are some, but I won%26#39;t use what is there. I take sleeping bags, my own pillow, a few sheets. I also bring some clorox wipes and clean up wen we first get there. For the most part they are clean, but you know, it is a cabin in the rainforest.

Also be sure to bring citronella candles and lots of mozzy repellent, cause they can eat you alive, depending on time of year and which cabin you get.

Some are closer to the ocean and you can hear the surf. Others are more in the brush and those seem to have more mosquitoes. Bugs are a problem, and you will use a lot of repellent. We usually burn the Off coils or an Off Lantern too. Table and chairs inside and on the lanai. What else? No pool, no hot tub, no nice swimming beach nearby, but you can always drive to Hamoa Beach which is just on the other side of Hana.

This is just my opinion, but I always felt that if you were staying in those cabins you might as well be camping. And if you want to camp in Hana you might as well stay at the camp ground next to Oheo Gulch (7 pools).

I think I%26#39;d rather be in the cabin if it rains. And it is likely on that part of the island. Not to mention the fact that you wouldn%26#39;t have to bring or buy a tent.

But, yeah, those cabins are essentially camping.
