If you love East Hawaii and eco-friendly accommodations, you'll love our off-grid location! We have maintained a 5-star review and guest favorite rating on another site, but due to the national boycott concerns we have decided to try hosting on this platform. We can provide past reviews upon request. The cabin is a single room with a queen sized bed. There is a covered outdoor minimalist kitchen that includes a refrigerator, propane camp stove, hot and cold sink, filtered bottled water and outdoor seating. Please note that we are off-grid, so there is no microwave oven. Attached to the cabin is an outdoor hot shower on one side and a private composting toilet on the other side. Solar provides electricity for the refrigerator and lamp only. There are no outlets available for high energy use such as hairdryers. Our house is approximately 200ft away with palms and mango trees growing between our house and the cabin. Electric fencing surrounds the entire driveway and building compound.

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.

Excellent tent camping site: quiet, secure, tables, power outlet, kettle, etc. Justine is a wonderful host as well: responsive, friendly, welcoming, lots of positive energy, and willing to share her extensive knowledge of local attractions. We also greatly enjoyed her farm to table dinner.

Weekend Trip to Mangrove Lounge

Great directions to site, welcomed by host with small gift and lantern on arrival. We were allowed to use the gazebo on our first night which was a nice touch as we hadn’t booked it. The location was excellent just outside of town. The shower and toilet facilities were clean and had hot water. We would use this site again.

Weekend Trip to Ohia Hale

This is nice land to stay on, if you’re lucky and the sky is clear at night the stars are unREAL. Colin was very responsive and helpful. It’s a bring your own everything type of place, but there is a portapotty that works just fine for what you need it for (hasn’t been serviced in a while but it was perfectly functional and not gross. There’s a beach with a shower not too far away so that’s helpful! There are pigs roaming around the shadows at night but none bothered us or came near our camp while we were outside. We really liked our stay and would stay again and recommend to folks that can handle the minimal amenities like we can. Thanks Colin!!

Weekend Trip to Sunrise Cabanas Panoramic Views

This was our second early-December stay here. The property is in an excellent location above Naalehu, is easy to find, and has spectacular views of the surrounding hillside and ocean. Brian, the onsite manager, was responsive and friendly, and made us feel welcome. The cabins are cute and clean, and the crickets and coqui frogs serenaded us to sleep. The outdoor shower is private and clean, and has plenty of hot water. This is a simple little gem of a place, and we would definitely stay here again.

Weekend Trip to Living Circle Farms Hawaii

I hosted a birthday camping experience for 12 adults at Living Circle Farms, and it was a perfect choice to bring my vision to life. I had a Jurassic Park theme. Sooo much fun! There are lots of interesting spaces around the property to hang out and relax during downtime, the views are beautiful, and the location feels peaceful while still being close to other activities and resources on North Shore. We stayed in all of the available lodging spaces (cabin, yurt, and rv spaces in tents), which worked really well for a group event with a lot going on. The grounds are flexible and ideal for hosting activities, gathering people together, or letting folks spread out and enjoy the setting. I personally stayed in the cedar cabin (super comfortable with a great view) and the yurt (so well designed!) For the group experience, since I didn’t reserve the entire venue, I had to reserve each lodging site individually (seven total). It was a bit tedious, but it’s required for their venue insurance, so it made sense once explained. Also, the cabin floors aren’t fully sealed, so a few bugs made their way inside, and it’s smart to do a quick bathroom check before using, especially during rainy season. Early communication (during the research phase) was a little inconsistent due to urgent venue needs, but overall, Kristian was awesome!!!!!! He's helpful, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making the experience great. I’d absolutely book again. I had a GREAT time.

Weekend Trip to Moon Garden Getaway

Me and my sister decided to camp around the Big Island for a week instead of a hotel. We were very excited to arrive at Mae’s campsite and she was an amazing host. Her place was very easy to find with her instructions and she greeted us upon arrival. She showed us around the place and provided a book of recommendations for local places. She also offered us fruit off of her farm and there were a few fun games there. The campsite is beautiful and she had a very nice dog that was fun to hang out with. Overall 10/10.

Weekend Trip to Hamakua Guesthouse

This is our second time at Hamakua House (last time 8 years ago) - we love the vibe and the caretakers are really nice and generous. A bit rustic, as expected for hammock cabanas, but very cute. A short drive to Hilo and beautiful countryside location. We would stay again (hopefully sooner than 8 years!)

Wonderful place to camp. Beautiful property with macadamia nuts and fruit trees to enjoy. Pool and outdoor shower was lovely. I like how they have spots to have a camp fire too and can see the ocean from the property. Starry sky’s and sunsets a bonus! Owner was very welcoming
