Hōlua Campsite

Hōlua, the Wilderness campsite reached by the shortest hike, lies at 6,940 feet in the shrubland near Ko`olau Gap. You can park the campervan at the Halemau’u Trailhead and have a pretty short 3.7 mile hike down the Halemau`u Trail to the campground. If you are more adventurous, you can start your hike at the summit and hike 7.4 miles down on the Sliding Sands trail to the campground. The next day, you can complete a loop by hiking out the Halemau`u Trail to the Halemau`u Trailhead and find your way back up to the summit on the road.
