MAUNA LOA CAMP
8. MAUNA LOA CAMP
Mountain View, HI · 10 sites · Tents, RVs
Mauna Loa Camp is about 20 minutes from Hilo on "The Big Island" (Hawaii) in the Hawaiian Acres neighborhood. The actual address is 16-1648 Ooaa Rd. (Road #6), Kurtistown, HI 96760. It’s a 3-acre parcel that’s entirely fenced, with wide open areas to set up wherever you like.
We planted lots of fruit trees in 2025 and 2026, and we expect to harvest fruit in 1–3 years. The air is fresh, and the stars are amazing — like I’ve never seen before. I also love the Coqui Frog songs at night.
This location is ideal for taking day trips anywhere on the island (about 2 hours to Kona). The waterfront in Hilo is unique, with calm pools of water set well inland from the ocean. Wild orchids and flowers grow at the camp.
You can pick wild strawberry guava or hit the local markets for incredible fruits like lychee, longan, rambutan, soursop, oranges, tangerines, avocado, starfruit, lemon, macadamia nuts, pineapple, and banana. All of these are available at markets when in season, and in a few years, some can be picked right at Mauna Loa Camp (perhaps by 2028).
I live in the Rochester, NY area and we operate four camps in NY, one in SC, and one in FL. Our sites are rustic — no electricity, no water — just you and nature. We provide portable toilets and/or a porta-potty, and there is a public shower at a park in Hilo. Our goal is to keep our camps simple and in harmony with nature.
We expect respect for our land and neighbors, with absolutely zero trash left behind (carry in, carry out). You will love it — everyone does. Hawaii is a special place, and we feel so lucky to be part of it!
We rent to only one group at a time, ensuring total privacy. My friends and neighbors in the area are wonderful assets, making it a lovely place to be one with our planet and nature.

This is the place to camp in your camper van or vehicle. It has great out door showers with warm water(not cold).
Flushing toilets are such an amenity while camping. Its also a farm so there's fruit trees all around. Also: there is a ferral cat colony down the rd so there are dozens of cats that come out at night. Thanks Marco for hosting such a safe and comfortable property!

4 nights at Sun Farm Hawaii @ Koko Head
My partner and I had a great time at Sun Farm. It’s a beautiful space and the yurt is very cozy.
I would recommend renting a vehicle as it’s a bit away from the towns and beaches. But with vehicle access the location is wonderfully removed yet accessible to everything.
The roosters make a lot of noise in the morning but personally we did not mind it. The connection to nature was lovely, and it helps you wake up early to make the most of your day.
The bathrooms were kept clean. I had access to another living space during my stay where I took showers, only trying the campgrounds showers once. It may have been my own user error but the water did not get hot. That would be my main warning.
Otherwise the space is beautiful, clean and overall would highly recommend it for a short term stay.

I had such a great time at Sun Farm, Hawaii, Koko head! I stayed at site three for four nights in a camper van. Now that I look back, I really appreciate the pavement because everywhere else was wet and muddy. Site three is right next to the covered picnic area, the kitchen, and basically all the amenities. I use the kitchen to heat up some water on the stove, and there also a fridge to store food if needed. The bathroom was clean and smelled great. The sinks are on the outside of the bathroom, and the showers are located off the sidewalk near a lovely garden, and I really enjoyed the shower! After hiking all day, it was nice to take a hot shower. Overall, it was super nice setting with decent amenities, a really nice garden and glamping tents for rent also. It was very enjoyable, and it also is near all the action.

2 nights at Sun Farm Hawaii @ Koko Head
I loved staying here! It was so quiet and serene. Was very nice having a kitchen and sitting area as well. Bring earplugs, the chickens like to crow at any hour lol!
Overall a great stay, i would recommend it to anyone and come back again. My only negative was the staff didn’t see very welcoming or friendly. When i arrived they didn’t acknowledge me, i assumed they were other guests but later found out they were the staff/volunteers (not sure). I had said good morning or hi multiple times and never got an answer from anyone. Online and the welcome video mentioned a produce stand, which i saw when i arrived but no one was ever there or offered any produce up for sale. I definitely would have bought some if someone just asked. I just expected a bit more.
Overall great stay, just don’t waste your time trying to speak to staff/volunteers.

Sun Farms exceeded my expectations when it came to visiting the area while car camping. The amenities on sight, the privacy of the bathrooms & showers, and the quietness of its location- couldn’t have been much better of a place to call “home base” for 5 nights. The evenings were peaceful and all the decorative lightening made it feel like a charming fairytale. The staff were all extremely friendly and did an excellent job of maintaining the public use areas clean & tidy.
Will definitely be staying again! ☀️

The best pets off leash camping in Hawaii guide
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.
