Weather
Sites are located inside Haleakalā crater and involve a strenuous hike. Campers should prepare for hot, sunny, cold, wet, and windy conditions as weather can change rapidly. There is no shade or water on the crater floor, and temperatures can vary from 40-70 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and 30-50 degrees Fahrenheit at night, so pack plenty of water, sunscreen, and layers. If it is stormy, winds can exceed 80 miles per hour with temperatures dropping well below freezing.
Accessibility
No wheelchair accessibility.
There is no cell service in the Wilderness Crater of Haleakalā--campers should not rely on this form of communication.
No open fires are allowed in the Wilderness of Haleakalā. Campers are advised to come prepared with a small backpacking stove to prepare any meals.
