Mae is an amazing and super friendly host. We had coffee every morning and bonded over our K-drama obsession. Really appreciated her helping me pull my car out of a low spot. The place is beautiful and peaceful. Definitely recommended.

We stayed at both of Mae’s campsites for a week, and it was an amazing experience. The sites are thoughtfully equipped with hot showers, flush toilets, a sink, a sun/rain dome, a propane stove, and a campfire—everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We had planned to explore so much of the Big Island, but the campsite was so peaceful and nourishing that I often just wanted to stay there all day and do nothing. Mae is a wonderful host and such an interesting person to chat with. She welcomed us for morning tea and coffee and even shared delicious fruits from her farm. I would absolutely stay here again on my next visit to the Big Island. Highly recommended.

This camp was super fantastic. Our Host Mae was very caring for us (Malama ) and came to welcome us warmly when we arrive. The site was extraordinary with more than 2 acres just for us with a little lake , a place to play volleyball , a place to play balloon on a pole , and even a disc golf course that we could use with the disks furnished by the host!!!
..the restroom where the cleanest that I ever seen with , not one , but two showers and two restrooms And the showers were present with hot water.
Everything was so clean. I could not believe it !!
And the land: I thought for a moment that I was camping on a par 3 of Pebble Beach California !!!
in supplement we had the right to pick up fruits from trees: Lemons, limes, oranges, finger, lemons, tangerines, and others !!
We even had a very nice dog name Knob! That came and welcome us, and was really great with us!!
In all, this was the best IPC experience that we ever had up to now!
Thanks Mae!

Mae was such a kind and generous host! Bathroom and shower were well kept, water temp was warm initially, but Mae was super attentive to my needs and was nice enough to make the water hotter for me! The property was stunning and easy to find. The site was equipped with a pop up tent with a table to help provide shelter from the rain should you have to pack in or out when it's raining. The bathroom had a really cool map of the island with points of interest in addition to info about where the nearest pharmacy, gas station and other useful info was. Mae's house and property in general were such a peaceful place to decompress and enjoy the beauty of the big island when I wasn't out exploring. Great peaceful site to come back to and would definitely stay again!

My fiancé and I were very fortunate to instant book with Mae at her Moon Garden Farm midday. She's not only kind, but generous with sharing some of her tangerines with us! Her place was clean, quiet, and the facilities (toilet & shower) were very nice with evening ambient lights for late night use. We had some even rain showers, but the little pavilion/tent kept us dry as we cooked our evening dinner. I highly recommend staying at Mae's farm!

Absolutely the most beautiful view of stunning mountains and the ocean/islands! Such a pleasant stay! Quiet and clean facilities and there weren’t even mosquitos during our stay! For camping, you pitch your tent anywhere in the flat grass behind the covered patio area. Slept with the sweet sound of birds though nothing that kept us up. Great host who let us taste fruit from the farm.

The kids loved fishing and we all appreciate the time Mae spent with us showing us how. Making Fire was so easy- really appreciate the option to buy wood and the little charcoal grill (provided). Mahalo Mae, we’ll be back with friends before too long!

5 stars – Peaceful, Clean, and Beautiful Spot!
I had a great time staying at this campground! The site was clean and well-maintained, with a beautiful view of both the ocean and mountains and a great shower setup. It’s in an ideal location—close to both the beach and the mountains. The host was friendly and helpful, and I especially loved the little touches like the string lights and the peaceful drizzle at night.
It felt very private and quiet during my stay (I happened to be the only camper at the time), so I can’t say how it is when the site is full, but I had a wonderful experience and would definitely stay here again!

We loved camping at Mea s land. She is super friendly and shows the best hospitality you could thing of. There land is beautiful, very natural grass, well maintained, there are several game options like volleyball, tetherball, Frisbee golf,... And you can also feed farm animals or fish. Mea provides towels and plenty of basic stuff so useful for camping. It is an absolutely safe and secure area. We will certainly come back and I highly recommend you get a booking while the place is available.

We loved camping at Mae's Moon Garden! The location was clean with full bathroom facilities right next to the campground area. There was a nice tent area to hang out in. My girls had the best time, roasting marshmallows by the fire pit and using the camp gas grill to make dinner and breakfast the next morning. Most importantly, we felt safe! With just us females camping out, we felt so safe and secure to have fun and be ourselves. Thank you Mae! 10/10 would recommend and stay again!

My husband and I loved camping at Maes! The directions were very clear and the site was easy to find, we arrived after dark too. When we woke up in the morning it was like we had been transported to a little wildlife sanctuary. There was birds and other insects chirping, a beautiful sunrise and everything felt so calm. The bathroom and shower is very clean. We wish we had time to stay more than one night.

Great stay! Mae was friendly, and her dog was adorable. The 2 hot showers and toilets were clean and convenient. Loved the party tents, perfect for staying dry when it rained.

The best private sites RV 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.
