This rural and remote property is known as Hawaii Island Resort. The macadamia orchard provides a unique and comfortable way to camp in Hawaii. We have a great paved ocean view area for camper vans and many options for pitching tents or parking under the trees. We love to share our abundance with others and opening the property to travelers that love to camp seemed like a perfect addition to our current program. Please, outside pets are not allowed. We look forward to meeting you :)

Goldilocks climate zone allows you to camp in our macadamia nut orchard. Gently rolling grassy areas with the macadamia trees for privacy. Panoramic ocean views in some areas of the property. The dark skies provide spectacular stargazing. Very near the southernmost point of the USA and Green Sand Beach. Indoor ½ bath, and outdoor showers with endless hot water make this a safe and comfortable place to pitch your tent. Amenities included are outdoor showers, 2 half bathrooms, access to our heated salt water pool with a water slide and a macadamia nut tree orchard with other fruit trees around. You are welcome to our nuts and the fruit that is ripe. We are sad to add an age restriction due to guests/campers flushing diapers. Children are still welcome five years and older. Thank you for understanding. Message for more information, large groups inquire about special rates.

    Our son said this was his favorite place we stayed, and it was ours too! There was so much room for our kids to run and explore. We loved strolling around the macadamia nut farm and spent the evening picking mac nuts. We were the only ones at the campsite, which made it feel extra peaceful. There were showers and everything we needed for a comfortable night. Such a great family-friendly spot and a perfect stop between Kona and Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. The hosts were very welcoming and responsive. We hope to come back again soon!
