Between adventures, indulge in comfort: pure mountain well water to refresh you, a spacious hot shower, pristine restrooms, a crystal-clear pool, and a jacuzzi beneath the stars. By day, explore; by night, soak, sip, and let the waves serenade you to sleep.
This is not just camping—it’s immersion. A rare blend of wilderness and ease. Wild Blue Waters is where your Hawaiian adventure begins.

Captain Cook, HI · 3 sites · Tents, RVs
As all the land here is born of lava, many moons ago this land began to host plants and critters. Long after, it was sculpted and a number of families and farmers have contributed to what we have today. An abundance of fruit and vegetables within sight of the ocean. Peaceful breezes and warming sun make for unparalleled tranquility. Today the land still gives back to its visitors.
Come recharge.
As this is agricultural lands, there are many critters. Dogs, chickens, pheasants, peacock, mongoose, and many birds. Tge invasive coqui frog is annoying to some and calming to others.
The micro climate here swings from warm and dry to wet quickly. Best to always prepare for rain.
There is snorkeling, beaches, local food, Cafe, BBQ, poke, fish-n-chips, grocery, Sunday farmers market and hiking nearby.
It is peaceful here, but also an active farming community.
As an organic farm, we put alot of effort into soil building and as such, there are soft places that will be damaged by the weight of a vehicle. Staying on the driveway is best. We will guide you to where you need to go.
Our road is paved, but bumpy. Any vehicle will make it without damage if driven slowly. 1 to 4mph tops. *Be sure to avoid the camper rental companies that restrict certain roads.
Aloha and have a great day.

Kaneohe, HI · 5 sites · Tents, Lodging
One of the most beautiful places in Hawai`i. We are at the top of a hill in a secluded and secure Homestead farm overlooking Kane`ohe Bay and Mokapu (and the Marine Corps Base) as well as the Pali (cliffs). We are nestled, in a jungle, in the Ko`olau mountain range. We have ocean access from the property (by crossing the road). Nearly are places to get in the water (such as Ka`a`awa and Ku`aloa Beach Park). We are also close to civilization and Kualoa Ranch.
We generally see the stars and the sun and moon rise. We also see the colors of the Bay change with the tides, clouds, wind, light.
We are focused on education about Hawai`i, being kind to animals (and all life, including humans), and we are privileged to be able to share our aloha as well as farm bounty. We grow chili peppers, ulu (breadfruit), kalo (taro), noni, vegetables, bananas, olena (turmeric), ginger, etc.
Not pictured is the common kitchen area.
We have access to Reiki, massage, and other types of services. We have kayaks, surfboards, general snorkel and beach gear, SUPs, and connections to local businesses for other opportunities (e.g., horseback riding, sailing, rowing, etc.).
There are surfing, kayaking, swimming, snorkeling, scuba, horseback riding, and hiking options nearby. We are also conveniently near a mall and many great places to eat. It is also lovely to hang out here at the farm and enjoy the peace, away from concrete and traffic congestion. There are places to explore and a steep climb one can hike to get to the edge of the property where there are many and even more spectacular views.
We are a real homestead and aspiring organic farm focused on Hawaiian Heritage plants and a Sanctuary for animals. We have many Native Hawaiian plants, superfoods, and culturally important plants. We also have Bucket and Scream (our goats), Venus, Zenith, and Sweetie (farm cats), Ipo (Australian Shepard farm dog), turkeys (Royal Palms), and a bunch of chickens.
It is possible to get around in the near area, and on and off the property, on The Bus. The Bus stop is down a hill about 5 minutes away.
We are always involved in community and local food, so let us know your interests. & let us know if you want to plant plants, weed bad grass, attend a cacao ceremony, or donate to a good cause.

Olinda, HI · 1 site · Tent, RV
We are a 5th generation family farm on the slopes of Haleakala, just a 3 mile drive up from historic Makawao town. Our great grandfather purchased a 40 acre ranch in 1957 as his retirement, homestead dream. With rolling hills of pastures, our farm is the ideal location for a secluded camping getaway with ocean views and Maui. Sadly, our property was hit severely by the August 2023 fires caused by downed electric lines. Your support of camping on our family farm helps us recover little by little and help us maintain such a huge responsibility of weeding invasive trees and weeds, along with repairs and fence building after so much loss.

Want to learn how to live on a tropical island? Take a cue from the native Hawaiians and get a first hand look when you visit Ahupua’a ‘O Kahana State Park. This is a “living park” where over 30 native families live on the land and also help school the visitors on a different (better?) way to live. See how the food is grown, how the land is irrigated, and how harmonious existence is possible, despite what modern society tells us. Hit the trails to get views of inaccessible remnants from ancient civilizations who lived here before western influence started meddling. Trails through the rainforest with all its muddy glory are another fun adventure and you may even score some fresh hand picked fruit! Score one of the few beach campsites so you can take your time on this sacred land, and because, it's beach camping!

When you picture Hawaii, it’s likely that idyllic sandy beaches come to mind. And with miles and miles of beautiful coastline, this is definitely for good reason!

Get the best of both worlds at Kalōpā State Recreation Area, whose green forests sit right on the edge of Hawaii’s classic tropical beaches. A picturesque trail—the Kalōpā Nature Trail—winds through the park and showcases some of the Big Island’s incredible diversity of flora and fauna. This is also the perfect spot to be if you’re looking to escape the hot island heat, as much of the trail and the park is shaded by a gorgeous canopy of trees. Kalōpā is one awe-inspiring wilderness escape in the northeastern corner of the island of Hawaii.

Volcano Island Farm is located on the Hamakua Coast of the Big Island of Hawaiʻi. We are 10 minutes from Honokaʻa Town and 20 minutes from Waipiʻo Valley Lookout.
We are a small agricultural farm with gardens, hydroponic greenhouses (coming soon), chickens for eggs, and acres of macadamia nut orchards. Most of the property is open green space with plenty of shade from trees—as long as you don’t mind the occasional falling nut.
We offer two types of camping. Traditional camping is available for guests with their own tent, which can be set up anywhere near the bathhouse in the grass or under a tree.
We also have tents and camping equipment available for use as needed. In addition, we offer the opportunity to stay in our restored Volkswagen van.
The van sleeps a couple very comfortably with a full- to queen-size bed, a swivel chair, and interior lighting. It is cozy and comfortable and includes a picnic table and outdoor lighting in the surrounding area.
The bathhouse is shared among all campers. We typically have no more than four campers at a time, so it is generally easy to share the space. The bathhouse includes a hot shower, sink with mirror, private toilet room, off-grid hot tub (heats in about 20 minutes), and an outdoor deck area for eating or relaxing.
Volcano Island Farm is a calm and quiet retreat from everyday life. We look forward to hosting you and hope you enjoy your relaxing stay. Please check our website calendar or Instagram page for occasional farm events or activities that may be happening during your visit—we would love for you to join us! Mahalo and aloha.

Weekend Trip to Kona comfy RV w/million dollar view
Yes, the driveway is an adventure, but totally worth it! The RV is adorable, well-cared for and as private as you could ask for. The ocean, the birds, the flowers, the noisy frogs and the curious geckos are charming. The panoramic sunset views are unbelievable. Chris and Mark are kind, friendly, helpful and interesting to talk with. I could have just hung out on that covered porch for weeks, contentedly. A fabulous experience, as long as you understand the limitations of any camper, and are confident with four-wheel driving.

This campsite has everything you need for a comfortable stay, including an outdoor shower with warm water, a sink, and a flush toilet. The amenities were clean and well maintained.
There is also a nice shaded area with picnic tables that provides plenty of space to cook, organize and pack your camping gear, eat, or even get some remote work done.
During my stay, I camped with both my truck bed tent and a regular ground tent, and the property worked well for both setups. The campsite is gated for extra security and feels private and peaceful.
The location is another major advantage. It is right by Haleʻiwa, making it convenient for exploring the North Shore while still having a quiet place to return to at the end of the day.
Overall, it’s a comfortable, quiet campsite with clean amenities, security (gated), useful shared spaces, and a North Shore location that is hard to beat.

Even better than expected. The Cedar Cabin is beautiful, and to me quite luxurious. There’s a tiny fridge where you could store a few small things, maybe 3 soda cans. The outdoor shower is refreshing, and nice at night with the string lights. Everything is clean, cute, intentional. What the pictures can’t capture is how peaceful the place is. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. Chat with other campers around the fire pit, pick a fresh papaya, commune with a gecko, enjoy watching the clouds roll over. The dogs are friendly and the chickens are curious. Jenny gave me suggestions for making herbal tea from plants on the grounds (Macrut lime, lavender, etc), her partner explained their impressive composting projects. Everyone seems to truly love being there and making it a beautiful place for rejuvenation and learning. I wish I’d spent my entire time in Oahu here!

Weekend Trip to Living Circle Farms Hawaii
Felt extremely safe and welcomed at this sparkling gem of a farm! We stayed in one of the safari tents and it was luxurious. I thought bugs might be a problem but they weren't at all. The shared bathroom is extremely clean and one of a kind, as is the outdoor shower. Highly encourage taking a "black light" flashlight and walking the farm in the dark. They scattered stones around the gravel that glow when you hit them with the black light! The ground of the outdoor shower also has glow in the dark paint and makes the shower surreal. Overall, this place is magical, the hosts are kind and treat you with Aloha. The entire land and structures here are built and maintained with such thoughtfulness and love.
Highlights are definitely the outdoor shower, the fresh fruit, and listening to the beautiful afternoon rain shower hitting all the banana leaves, foliage, and roof of the safari tent.
The most relaxed I've felt in awhile. Will absolutely be returning. ❤️ Mahalo nui, Kristian, Jenny, and Nathan.

We stayed in 3 places on the island and this was by far our favorite. There was plenty of space, it was clean and lovely, well stocked kitchen, and the setting was beautiful including the swimming hole with waterfall! (which sadly we didn't get to go in as we were out so much)...as others have said, I would have liked to have stayed there longer and just enjoyed the property. Everything about it was easy and convenient. They even had a TV and DVD collection- though we were mostly offline for our week in Hawaii, it was perfect to watch a silly. movie on one of the nights. Would definitely go back, thank you Hamakua Guest House (Rover View Family House)!

Where to go
Oahu
Oahu is the state's most-visited island. While many visitors head straight to Honolulu's sandy Waikiki Beach, the island offers plenty to experience outside the big city, with gorgeous beaches all over, plus tons of hiking trails. If you want to camp, you’ll find options at Ahupua'a 'O Kahana State Park and Bellows Field Beach Park, both on the island’s eastern shores.
The Big Island
The Big Island's size isn't its only claim to fame. It's also known for its tasty Kona coffee and for its abundance of volcanoes, including Kīlauea and Mauna Loa, both in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, one of four national parks on the island. There are also lots of places to camp on the island, including at the Kalōpā State Recreation Area and the Kīholo State Park Reserve (weekend camping only).
Maui and Molokai
Maui is well known for its large resorts and gorgeous scenery, especially in the emeraldine ʻĪao Valley State Monument and from Haleakalā National Park, the best place on the island for a sunrise hike. Reservable campsites can be found at both Wai'ānapanapa State Park and the Polipoli Spring State Recreation Area. The nearby island of Moloka'i is a quiet alternative, without the big development found on other islands. Camping is available in the island's Pālāʻau State Park.
Kauai
Dubbed the "Garden Isle" for its numerous gardens and overall lush landscapes, Kauai feels quieter and more laid-back than Maui or Oahu. Its best-known hiking areas include the pristine Nāpali Coast (only accessible by foot or boat) and the vibrantly hued Waimea Canyon State Park, often referred to as the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific." You can camp in the Nāpali Coast State Wilderness Park, provided you obtain a permit in advance, or in Kōke'e State Park and Polihale State Park.
When to go
Hawaii only has two real seasons: a hotter, dryer summer season (April–October) and a cooler, rainier winter (November–March). The resorts and tourist destinations across the islands are at their busiest during the summer and winter vacation months, and hotel and flight prices tend to soar during these periods. Late spring and early autumn are ideal for avoiding rainfall and crowds. Flights from the mainland are generally at their cheapest between January and March.
