Discover Paia RV rentals for memorable road trips

Paia is a small town on the northern shore of the island of Maui where motorists stop by for gas, groceries or food on their way to the remote town of Hana 45 miles southeast. Once home to a vast sugar plantation, Paia today is a mishmash of 1960's and '70's hippie locals who descended from the continental mainland to start a back-to-nature life; professional surfers attracted to consistent and challenging windsurfing conditions of the North Shore; and the occasional Hollywood actor or A-list musician showing up unannounced for a local gig.

On the Road to Hana

Get a truer sense of Hawaii on a winding journey to Maui's eastern shore. A drive on the Hana Highway in your Paia camper rental is a case of the journey being equally important as the destination. From Kahului, the (in)famous narrow and sinuous Hana Highway stretches for a total of 65 miles, with only the mile markers standing between you and the hidden gems ahead (or below).

RV Parks

You won’t find an RV campground in the immediate vicinity of Paia, but if you’re willing to look within a 20-mile radius – and south – the Papalaua State Wayside Park in Wailuku is the nearest. It is beach-side camping at its best, if you’re willing to put up with roadside noise during your stay. There are restrooms but very limited parking so it might be good to have a backup plan.

Exploring The City

As you pull into Paia, you will be forgiven for thinking if you’ve wandered into a 1960’s California beach town. Building facades painted in pastels, a T-shaped stretch of eclectic shops and restaurants, few traffic lights, and colorful local characters lend Paia an un-touristy Maui experience that gets bypassed by motorists zipping past on the road to Hana. It’s a blessing in disguise, as Paia gets to keep its quiet bohemian and hippie vibe.

We absolutely loved this van! It’s equipped with literally everything you could think of—snorkels and fins, SUP boards, towels, chairs, power banks, speaker, and even electric fans to keep you cool at night - didnt know we needed them until we couldn’t sleep without them. This is just a handful of the bits this van is filled with. It is so comfortable, thoughtfully stocked, and just an all-around great setup for exploring.
We took her on the Road to Hana and it was not a bother to her at all.
Communication with the owner was spot-on—fast replies, tons of great recommendations, and really friendly.
Can’t recommend this van enough. It made our trip unforgettable!
