Peaceful breezes and warming sun make for unparalleled tranquility. Today the land still gives back to its visitors.

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.

Step outside and you’re immersed in a living classroom of native flora, lava tubes, fruit orchards, and starlit skies.

Kids love the three-level treehouse, and families enjoy meeting our friendly farm animals: horses, cows, and farm dogs.
At night, the Kaʻū Desert transforms into one of the darkest skies in the world. With no city lights for miles, stargazing is beyond incredible. Lay back with a blanket and marvel at the Milky Way, constellations, and even passing satellites or meteor showers.
Our farm is rooted in Hawaiian values of sustainability, ʻohana (family), and aloha ʻāina (love for the land).

Wild Webs Camp – Off-Grid Retreat Near the Volcano
Welcome to Wild Webs Camp, a quiet, off-grid camping retreat set in the lush landscape near Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. This is a place to slow down, unplug, and experience something rare: the process of creating large-scale, hand-woven net structures in nature.
Our land is home to Wild Webs—custom, hand-woven net installations crafted slowly and intentionally. These webs are designed as lounging and resting spaces, woven into the environment to complement the land rather than dominate it. Guests are invited to relax nearby, watch the weaving process unfold, and enjoy the calm rhythm of hands-on craftsmanship in the forest.
This is not a finished resort or a high-traffic attraction. Wild Webs Camp is evolving, and part of its charm is witnessing something being built over time. You may see us measuring, knotting, tensioning, and shaping the webs as the days pass—an experience that many guests find grounding, meditative, and inspiring.
Surrounded by native forest, lava rock, and the powerful presence of the nearby volcano, the camp offers deep quiet, dark skies, and a strong connection to the elements. Vog, mist, rain, and shifting weather are part of life here and add to the raw beauty of the experience.
This is a rustic, off-grid stay. No hookups, minimal infrastructure, and a strong emphasis on personal responsibility and respect for the land. Bring what you need, move slowly, and enjoy the simplicity.
Please note:
• Wild Webs are intended for lounging and visual experience only, not active play
• Children must be supervised at all times
• This is a working, creative space—expect authenticity, not polish
Perfect for nature lovers, creatives, couples, and families who appreciate quiet moments, craftsmanship, and being close to something truly unique.
Come rest, observe, and experience the art of building in the wild 🌿

Wild Webs Camp – Off-Grid Retreat Near the Volcano
Welcome to Wild Webs Camp, a quiet, off-grid camping retreat set in the lush landscape near Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. This is a place to slow down, unplug, and experience something rare: the process of creating large-scale, hand-woven net structures in nature.
Our land is home to Wild Webs—custom, hand-woven net installations crafted slowly and intentionally. These webs are designed as lounging and resting spaces, woven into the environment to complement the land rather than dominate it. Guests are invited to relax nearby, watch the weaving process unfold, and enjoy the calm rhythm of hands-on craftsmanship in the forest.
This is not a finished resort or a high-traffic attraction. Wild Webs Camp is evolving, and part of its charm is witnessing something being built over time. You may see us measuring, knotting, tensioning, and shaping the webs as the days pass—an experience that many guests find grounding, meditative, and inspiring.
Surrounded by native forest, lava rock, and the powerful presence of the nearby volcano, the camp offers deep quiet, dark skies, and a strong connection to the elements. Vog, mist, rain, and shifting weather are part of life here and add to the raw beauty of the experience.
This is a rustic, off-grid stay. No hookups, minimal infrastructure, and a strong emphasis on personal responsibility and respect for the land. Bring what you need, move slowly, and enjoy the simplicity.
Please note:
• Wild Webs are intended for lounging and visual experience only, not active play
• Children must be supervised at all times
• This is a working, creative space—expect authenticity, not polish
Perfect for nature lovers, creatives, couples, and families who appreciate quiet moments, craftsmanship, and being close to something truly unique.
Come rest, observe, and experience the art of building in the wild 🌿

The host Tom is a very nice person, we got very well welcomed. As it was raining and we had a tent, he let us sleeping for free into one of his set. There is an outside shower and toilets with hot water. The site is very close to the Volcano National Park.

Collin and his wife are living in a really nice place. There was a kind of jungle feeling up in the hills. The road is fine to drive, just drive slow and enjoy the nice plants.
The toilet is nothing for picky girls but was near the ground. Go at night and your fine 😉

Nice campsites, good facilities/ bathrooms/showers, quiet (which wasn't that common at other hip camps), fruit trees galore. All you can eat macadamia nuts. Would stay again.

Nice place to camp. Sheep came to visit which was nice. Swings near the fruit stand were a pleasant place to hang out. There was no trampoline to be found and there is a bit of traffic noise from the road. Overall a good stay.

This place was just what we needed. Potable water, hot showers with great water pressure, half bathrooms, picnic tables to cook on and a safe place to sleep while exploring the southpoint area of Hawaii. We slept in our rental suv and had no problem finding a level spot to park.

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.

Nice quiet place, far from the maddening crowd. An effort to get there but tranquility has its price. No water. Be forewarned.

I came in a cartop tent and parked in the old tennis court. I had a great breakfast sunrise view. The other sites within the trees looked nice too.

We loved sleeping under the bright stars. Although we were next to the road, at night time was very quiet. Nice to have a picnic table too.

We had a wonderful time staying there and Brannon was a fantastic host and took great care of us. The ocean view was amazing and it was nice to have so much open space. Also the other people staying there were really fun to hang out with and it was a great community. Also the location is really easy to get to and the roads are good all the way there. The L&L Hawaiian Barbecue restaurant was right down the road and it had great food
