Polipoli Springs State Recreation Area

4.5(106 reviews)

About

In Maui, Polipoli Springs State Recreation Area lies in Kula, HI 96790, high on the slopes of the island's central mountain country. The site is a campsite, so visitors should arrive equipped for an overnight stay rather than a brief roadside stop.

Camping here means bringing your own supplies, since Kula is an upland area reached by climbing away from the coastal towns. A 4.5 out of 5 score across 106 reviews reflects how campers rate the site, and the state parks page at https://dlnr.hawaii.gov/dsp/parks/maui/polipoli-spring-state-recreation-area/ carries the official information. Makawao and Wailuku sit below on the same side of the island, and Lahaina, Kihei, Paia, Kaanapali, Wailea and Hana complete the island's named places. Reaching the area requires a vehicle, as the road climbs steadily from the lower slopes.

Lei garlands made from flowers or shells are given in Hawaii to mark greetings, birthdays and graduations. Hawaiian food includes plate lunches, poke made from raw fish, and kalua pork cooked in an imu earth oven. The Hawaiian monk seal and green sea turtle live in Hawaiian waters and haul out on its beaches. English and Hawaiian are both official languages of Hawaii, and Hawaiian words appear widely in place names.
