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!

We are a commercial orchid farm starting the homestead 8 years ago. Lava caused us to evacuate 2 years ago before it stopped a mile above the farm and Malama Market. We have a lava tube on the property you can explore. It’s so tall in some places, you can drive a school bus through. Good to bring headlamps if you're interested in this and just for walking around the farm when there is no moon! We are currently constructing a wood fired pizza oven in the place where our picnic tables and eating area are located.Pitch your tent or stay in one of our rooms or junglelows in the middle of our orchid nursery. We have outdoor kitchen, hot showers and flushing toilets. Located in the heart of Puna in the country but only 10 min walk to the village of Pahoa. This area has a lot to offer including tide pools, black sand beaches, warm spring and sauna caves.

WINNER of 2024 Hipcamp Runner-Up for Best in Hawaii! *Update 1/1/25 We are renovated! Warning! This is a Hipcamp not a resort lol. If you love tranquility and nature this might be the spot for you! It is an open air establishment complete with lizards and yes, some bugs and even a few mosquitoes. We have new mosquito nets up and bathroom now has a cool bamboo door for privacy. Because it is open air please do not expect it to be sterile. Mahalo! 🌺 I bought this land 14 years ago and have slowly been hand clearing and building fancy forts ever since. Off-grid with solar power, propane hot water heater and delicious running spring water. Nurturing space for healing and communing with nature. 🌱

My favorite spot on Oahu, I will be back. It's not as level as I would like, but it has a good nearby bathroom and shower, a good view, and relatively peaceful. Bring earplugs, the wind turbines can be loud, here and more so in the bamboo sites.

We have a wonderful time here. The property was gorgeous but i do wish we had booked site 4 or 5 instead because our site lacked a little privacy and shade. Would definitely recommend bring a shade tent. The people were incredible friendly. Dean was excellent and showed us some of the hidden gems around the camp ground.

Everything was as described. The site was level and close to the nice restroom and nice hot outdoor shower. The washer and drier was an added bonus. We had been looking forward to purchasing some fruit but nothing was ripe :( it was convenient and I would definitely recommend it.

I decided to set my tent up on the third terrace

Beautiful spot. Very private. Pool is wonderful. Great fire pit for a cozy fire. Close to many fun spots to explore. Dogs are very friendly and wanted to hang out with us. If you're not a dog person, this may not be the right spot for you.

Bumpy road up for us in a sprinter van but slow and steady made it happen no problem. Colin was available and super helpful navigating us up and even telling us the best way to park our large van. Susan stopped by to quickly tell us about the critters and plants nearby which was fun to learn about. The toilets were not available as they hadn't been serviced so ask ahead if that’s a need for your stay. Overall a peaceful stay. Thanks Colin and Susan!

Wow!! This is the best Hip Camp ever and this is what Hawaii should look like. It is so beautiful here. Christian’s handiwork has turned this into a paradise. The toilet/ sink area is great but the outdoor hot shower where you walk between the banana trees is incredible. The camp sites are the perfect size and level. The pool is nice and we even had a fire in the fire pit! Christian’s hospitality was greatly appreciated.

Very nice quiet place to camp. Beautiful view and the nice bathroom with hot showers was a big plus! Yes the rooster crows early but greatly preferable to road noise. The soft swoosh of a nearby water mill was nice background noise. Highly recommend!

Staying at the Sun Farm was great! We camped at multiple spots around the island, and they had the most hostel feel to it! The charging options on site with a fridge was perfect for our last night before leaving, as we we were able to have things available to use the next day. Hot water in the showers and our site was right next to the office. We were able to participate in the Sun Farm tour and we HIGHLY recommend! If we visit the Sun Farm again we would like to explore their cabin/tent options for sure!
