Lodging:
Three wilderness cabins are maintained by the National Park Service for visitor use by advanced reservation lottery. To reach the cabins, you must hike a minimum of 4 miles to Holua, 6 miles to Kapalaoa, and 10 miles to Paliku. Each cabin is allocated to one party as a unit, with a capacity of up to 12 people per night. Fees for the cabins are based on the number of people in the party. At least one member of the party must be 18 years of age or older. To enter the reservation lottery, write to Haleakala National Park, Attention Cabins at least 90 days prior to your trip (see mailing address on General Information page). Include your first and alternate choices of dates and cabin preferred. The more flexible your request, the better your chance of winning a reservation. The park occasionally has cabin cancellations; to fill a cancellation, call the park at (808) 572-4400 between 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm (HST) daily to check on availability. You will need a Visa or MasterCard to secure a reservation by phone. For both wilderness camping and cabins, stays are limited to 3 nights per month, with no more than 2 consecutive nights at any one cabin or campground.
