No, you cannot just "set up a tent and camp anywhere" on Maui. Camping on the beaches in illegal.

The State of Hawai'i maintains two campgrounds with housekeeping cabins on Maui, Wai'anapanapa State Park is on the coast and Polipoli State Park is in a forest high on the slopes of Haleakala. Camping in state campgrounds is limited to five nights and a camping fee is pending. Cabin rental rates are $46 for up to four people and. $5 for each additional person.
Waianapanapa is located three miles north of Hana on a bluff overlooking a black sand beach. There is tent camping for 60 people and 12 cabins that accommodate up to six people each The cabins are furnished with bedding, towels, cooking and eating utensils electricity hot water, showers, stoves and refrigerators.
Polipoli is located at the 6200 foot elevation in Upcountry Maui, 30 miles from Wailuku. Situated in dense forest this is the perfect spot if you are looking for solitude. Tent camping is available for 20 people. There isone cabin that accommodates up to ten with a gas stove and a cold shower (no electricity).

Need a good sturdy water proof tent. What is a good brand?

Camping at Talledage speedway at the end of April. I'm looking for a good cheap ($150) tent to buy. My last one was to big. And It stayed cold inside. It was a colman 2 room with screen room, about 5 ft tall, I need a sturdy, warm/cool, dry tent for 2 adults plus gear. need one that wont rip easy like my last one.
Answer
A big tent will be harder to warm up from body heat. A small tent will not have much room. A tent that stays cool will be hard to keep warm. A low-end tent might have a hard time meeting all your requirements.
I've shopped often at Campmor's and Cabela's. Campor has a lot of good deals; a lot of their stuff is surplus/overstock/leftovers, but still name brand or good stuff. Cabela's is a good all around supplier; plenty of stuff, reasonable prices.
My interest in tents is 3-season backpacking ones, so I'm more interested in a light compromise tent than a car-camping family tent.
