Weekend Trip to Sunrise Cabanas Panoramic Views
I loved this site!! Situated on a beautiful farm with a fantastic view of the ocean, this was the perfect place to spend a rainy night.
The cabin itself was super cozy and cute, and while there are two other cabins on the property, ours felt completely private. The porta potty was the cleanest one I’ve ever encountered, and the outdoor shower had hot water, which was super nice. I appreciated how well-lit the site was, with motion sensor lights right outside the cottage and by the bathroom area. The property was gated and the door locked with a key, which made us feel super secure.
This site was amazing, and I would definitely return!!!

Just had an incredible getaway at Mae's property, and I can't say enough about her attentiveness! It was wonderful to chat with her and hear about her passion for creating a welcoming space. She should truly be proud of the amazing amenities she's provided for her guests! We camped on top of a Toyota FJ, but I can assure you that tent campers would feel just as at home. 🌲 🌼 Highlights of the stay: Clean bathroom and hot shower 🚿Cozy cooking area 🍳Peaceful pond and lush fruit trees 🍑Friendly farm animals and her adorable dog, Knobs! 🐶This place is a true gem for anyone looking to escape into nature!

We reserved a camping spot and arrived with almost no notice. Even though he was not there, Brian was very helpful when we contacted him by phone and managed to get us in and direct us to our camping (RV) spot. We was super informative about the farm and the region.
This was definitely the most beautiful place we stayed on the island.

Absolutely lovely stay!! Was such a beautiful area and place. A beautiful lookout to the ocean, windmills, hills/mountains. Great for watching the sunset/sunrise in peace. Very quiet and serene. The host met with me when i arrived and was so kind. Was readily available if i had questions or needed anything! (Bring earplugs for barking dogs nearby and chickens crowing, an island wide issue lol, it didn’t bother me but i know it would some) still one of the best accommodations ive had in my travels!

This was my landing place before spending the rest of my time camping on the island. The bed in the yurt was very comfy (I had the best nights of sleep!) and had just enough space for my things. I really enjoyed the kitchen and outdoor seating area that looked out to the ocean, and I especially enjoyed the nice hot shower.
I was a little confused with the parking (I initially parked in the area that was meant for the other lodging sites) as I didn't see the "yurt" on the signs pointing to the other parking area. Even though I ran into a staff member who ended up helping me find my way, I was given a very impersonal and rushed overview of where things were (bathrooms, kitchen, washrooms, etc.).

Our stay at Cloud Haven was heavenly. The views were as superb as anticipated. The bed was comfortable and we slept so well with the windows open and the breeze coming through. Amy was kind and gracious. We loved learning about their farm. I was able to enjoy a massage wherein Amy used one of her herbal salves on my worst knots in my neck and shoulders. I bought several products which was a bonus. Highly recommend!

I stayed in the treehouse and it was an incredible experience during my stay on The Big Island. I loved listening to the sounds of the island as I fell asleep and the bug net kept out any visitors as I slept. The communal space had everything you could need and I loved how open everything was. It truly was a special part of the island to stay in and was a great launching pad for getting to any of the south point beaches and to the volcano National Park. I enjoyed the people I met while staying here, and would do it again if I had the chance.

This is an awesome spot! I think this is exactly what a hip camp should be: feels remote, special, private, and very comfortable. Mae has you covered in so many ways. We arrived at the end of a light rain shower, and were so happy to find a covered set of table and chairs under her dome that were bone dry! The place is right off 11, which gets you to Hilo or the National Park. A nice hot outdoor shower with a view of the ocean! Can't get much better than that to start your day.

Wendy's place was a slice of paradise wrapped inside a full serving of paradise. Like any holiday there were a few hiccups , but Wendy was in full contact and we were treated as if it were our home . We will be back .
The only real problem that could be resolved would be the cats prowling around . I counted 5 that came around regularly looking to be fed.

The Bamboo Cabin was a delightful glamping+ experience. We spent most of our time out on the lanai looking out at the tropical plants and food forest. We were grateful for the refrigerator so we could make use of the outdoor kitchen which was fun and easy to use. The composting toilet outhouse was clean and the toilet was very simple to use. We fell asleep in the comfy bed to the sound of frogs and rain on the tin roof.
Try all the recommendations in the book—they’re solid. Super J’s has delicious local fare, including the vegetarian stew. I really appreciated that they had a yummy vegetarian option. Definitely check out the magic sand beach, especially if you enjoy diving into the waves like me.
Also, there is no check out procedure, so pack in and pack out and leave the place as you found it (or better).

The best star host 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.
