We are located in a very special sweet spot with both jungle and country vibes. You can often see horses while watching whales and dolphins from a nearby lookout, and hear chickens, frogs, goats, dogs, neighborhood cats, many wild birds, a parrot, and even a cow or two in the distance.
This property features a huge mango tree, our home, and our massage therapy and yoga studio space with a separate private entrance, along with reliable on-grid power and Wi-Fi, aloe plants in case you get a sunburn, occasional guava, and a hammock between coconut trees.

Welcome to our extraordinary off-grid retreat on the Big Island of Hawaii—featured on Discovery Channel’s Homestead Rescue: Between Two Volcanoes. Nestled between Mauna Loa and Kīlauea in the Kaʻū District, our 100-acre working farm offers guests a one-of-a-kind experience in nature, culture, and adventure.
Just 10 minutes from Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park and a short drive from Punaluʻu Black Sand Beach, this location is a dream for explorers, stargazers, and nature lovers. Whether you're looking for solitude, eco-tourism, wellness, digital detox, or an enriching family getaway, this is the place!
Step outside and you’re immersed in a living classroom of native flora, lava tubes, fruit orchards, and starlit skies. Wander trails through macnut groves, sip fresh coconut water under the monkeypod tree, or pick fruit straight from the trees—mango, banana, lilikoi, citrus, and more. 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). We're happy to offer an optional guided farm tour or share stories about off-grid living and the volcanic history of the land. Guests leave not only rested, but deeply connected to the land and local culture.
Please note: we are truly off the beaten path—no streetlights, no traffic, and no tourists. The final stretch of road is unpaved and best suited for SUVs

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.

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 🌿

Nice rural property. Thomas the host is a very nice accommodating guy. He kindly offered his larger tent with good rain protection to the person in my party who only had a small backpacking tent that was already wet from rain the day before. Rustic place but fine. Only a few miles from Volcano National Park.

Staying at Thomas’s place was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we arrived, Thomas was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive, a truly wonderful host. The camp itself is quiet and peaceful, surrounded by the beauty and stillness of the Big Island. It’s definitely rustic, simple, and close to nature, but that’s exactly what makes it so special. You can really disconnect, slow down, and enjoy the essentials. Waking up to birdsong and falling asleep under the stars, accompanied by the gentle chorus of coqui frogs, felt absolutely magical.

Thomas’ van site provided everything we wanted. The night we spent there was amazing! We had the best sleep for the first time in many years. Even the sound of frogs was music to our ears and the cool breeze served as the best natural blanket ever! It was cloudy but we caught a short window to see full stars and the most beautiful Milky Way. Wa ter is scarce up there in the mountain area, so our kids learned to wipe dishes before doing washing them. So glad we got to learn how to use the marine toilet, too! Living in the city, we tend to take everything for granted and kids don’t get enough chances to appreciate what they have. Experience like this is so precious, and I am certain that my family will remember the precious time we had at Thomas’ beautiful property for a long time. He was so kind, funny, and full of wisdom and knowledge! We enjoyed our conversations very much.
Make sure you get there well-prepared! (Gas, water, food, batteries, towels, essential medicine, etc.) With the right mindset and preparation, your trip will be rewarding. We already want to go back! :)

My partner and I booked a last minute one night trip from Oahu to Big Island because of Kīlauea’s eruption. Thomas’s spot was very easy to find and extremely close to volcanoes national park. He extended a very warm welcome upon our arrival, even though we got in a bit later than anticipated. He gave us a quick tour of the spot, which was very peaceful and beautiful. While we ended up staying in the park most of the night due to Kīlauea‘s activity, he was extremely accommodating. If ever taking a multi-day trip back to Big Island to explore Hilo side, will definitely stay at his property again!

I loved my stay at Thomas’s place so much! His house is far out in the middle of a forest — perfect if you’re looking to disconnect and get into some nature. There is WiFi signal there, so that’s good. At first the outdoor shower phased me - but I actually fell in love with looking up at the moon while showering. Water is Hot. A sink would be a nice addition. Also, Thomas’s dog Yip is such a cutie! It’s chilly in the forest — perfect if you’re sleeping in your car.
