Hey folks,  I am camping for 5 days in Maui next week and am hoping some folks have some tips.

I know many of you are (or were) VW or Westfalia campers...  any tips on what we should bring or otherwise?

Any ideas on good spots to camp and explore in Maui?

Thanks everyone!

Great snorkeling at mile post 15ish? on hwy 30 just outside of Kehei..on the way to lahaina. If your going to do the sunrise at the volcano...bring a blankie..

Toilet paper

 Tools and a manual! Just kidding. The Westfalias have an upper and lower bunk with mattresses so you can sleep 4 pretty well. I like the upper bunk a little better believe it or not. There is a cook stove and a small fridge. We always preferred cooking outside so you may like to bring a campstove. I would guess the Westys are stocked somewhat with some camping gear. Think of it as a big metal tent and take whatever you would on a tent trip.

Sounds like a blast. Enjoy.

thanks Craig, that is a good idea. i may bring my jetboil for coffee and just get fuel there rather than bring the fuel cannister on the carry on.

it is stocked with cooking stuff, maps and basic gear. we rented chairs rather than buy them for $5 each.

For anyone interested;

The direct flight from Portland is only $300 right now.  The Westfalia Camper vans are $115 a night, far less than hotels there and nearly the same as a rental car.  so for roughly $1200 for 2 people, you can get 5 days in Maui including flight, lodging, and rental car.  just add food and drink.  :)
