Enjoy the country life in Kau on the South End of the Big Island and the lovely red Lehua flowers blooming. We live on 20 acres on Road to the Sea, which has a remote green sand beach at the end of the road (4 miles down from us). We call our slice of paradise, Honua Laa (a sacred place).
Straight down to the coast is a beautiful black and green sand beach and a huge tide pool. Rent a four-wheel-drive to get there. You don’t need a 4WD to get to our place, but you will need a SUV or truck. Go slow the road is bumpy and rough in places. We are 1.2 miles from the highway.

If you are athletic, you can walk, but it is 4 miles down and 4 miles back. I recommend going early in the morning and take water.
Hot water shower is propane. Bring ice for your ice chest. Bring drinking water. There is plenty of coffee and tea in the kitchenette. Boil hot water in the kettle, put cone filter with a paper filter and ground coffee inside and on top of thermos. Drip. It's delicious!

A lava-covered coastal park, Kīholo State Park Reserve features small bays, sparsely vegetated coastline, historic lava flows, and plenty of wide open space to roam. If you’ve never visited a black sand beach, you’ll have the chance to see it here, pressed up and contrasting against lush palm trees and shoreline. It’s a pretty decent spot for snorkeling too. While the park is still undergoing conceptual planning for future public use, visitors are able to visit during the day. Overnight camping is offered in a more remote area. Please be prepared with your own drinking water. Dehydration is so not a good look for you.

State park 16mi from Holualoa · 8 sites
A lava-covered coastal park, Kīholo State Park Reserve features small bays, sparsely vegetated coastline, historic lava flows, and plenty of wide open space to roam. If you’ve never visited a black sand beach, you’ll have the chance to see it here, pressed up and contrasting against lush palm trees and shoreline. It’s a pretty decent spot for snorkeling too. While the park is still undergoing conceptual planning for future public use, visitors are able to visit during the day. Overnight camping is offered in a more remote area. Please be prepared with your own drinking water. Dehydration is so not a good look for you.

Enjoy the country life in Kau on the Big Island and the lovely red Lehua flowers blooming. We live on 19 acres on Road to the Sea, which has a remote green sand beach at the end of the road (4 miles down from us). We call our slice of paradise, Honua Laa (a sacred place). Straight down to the coast is a beautiful black and green sand beach and a huge tide pool. Rent a four-wheel-drive to get there, but you don’t need 4WD to get to our place, but you do need to rent an SUV or truck with high clearance. No sedans. Go slow the road is rough and bumpy in places..
Off the grid. Rustic, but fun. If you are a Eco tourist or seeking adventure, you will love our spot!
The silence is golden and the stars are amazing.
Don't expect a hotel...this is upcountry glamorous camping.
It's one-of-a-kind! Most of the parcels are 20 acre parcels around… But a few smaller parcels across the road. We have nice neighbors who keep an eye on things.
The nearest grocery store is about 3 miles away. The Hele-On Bus is just 1.2 miles up the road. If you want to drive to the green sand beach at the end of our road, rent a 4 wheel drive. If you are athletic, you can walk, but it is 4 miles down and 4 miles back. I recommend going early in the morning and take water.
Hot water shower is propane. Bring ice for your ice chest. Bring drinking water. There is a gas grill and propane single burner. Bathroom has manual flush toilet,.
This is off the grid solar and there can be days without sun, or other glitches. You can charge your phone and have a lamp in your cabin. No wifi. I use ATandT and I understand that Verizon and T-Mobile work here also.
The panoramic ocean view is spectacular! Very peaceful and relaxing!
Our glamping cabins are in the front 3 acres. The back 17 acres is an old Ohia forest with 500 year old trees and lots of birds. You might even see a wild goat or a wild pig. There are small caves and gorgeous rock formations. It backs up to Manuka Forest Reserve.

Sylvia met me at my car and guided me up the grassy path past the goats and chickens to show me the delightful facilities, the outdoor shower so delicious, the community kitchen with the am8’g view of the Pacific, and the simple sleep accommodation in the yurt! I fely at all times I was there as if I was sunk into the lush paradise that surrounded me. I will return if ever I am able and stay as long as I possibly can!

A perfect place if you’re looking for a peaceful place to decompress! I stayed in the Bamboo Canopy and would definitely go back. Bed was comfy. Loved the coqui frogs croaking at night. I was surrounded by lush vegetation with a banana plant right outside my door. Bathroom is a compostable toilet which was super clean and hot shower was glorious! Kitchenware could use an upgrade, but the kitchen itself was kept very clean by fellow campers. Sunset view is the cherry on top!

Weekend Trip to 🌈 Rainbow’s End Farm & Homestead!
Rainbow’s End was truly one of the highlights of my time on the Big Island. Staying in the treehouse felt like a little hidden sanctuary tucked up in the trees. I loved falling asleep and waking up to the sounds of birds singing and the leaves dancing in the breeze—it was incredibly peaceful. The bed was so comfortable, and the mosquito net let you enjoy the open-air treehouse experience without any unwanted visitors.
The whole property has such a warm, welcoming, and laid-back vibe. The shared spaces had everything I needed, and it felt like the perfect balance of nature, comfort, and community. It was also an amazing home base for exploring, with easy access to South Point and Volcanoes National Park, and such a relaxing place to come back to after a full day of adventure.
Such a special, unique place that really captures the spirit of the island. I’m so grateful for the experience and already know where I’ll be staying the next time I visit. 🌿🌈✨

Weekend Trip to Waipio KOA
If you're searching for an adventurous, once in a lifetime, fun experience.. this stay is for you. Jo'el is an amazing host! He naturally guides people through the Waipio Valley, which is inaccessible to non-hawaiian residence. He takes you on an epic adventure through the valley to his amazing home nestled in the trees where he has lived for years. Coconuts, avacadoes and other wonderful fruits are plentyfull and you will waste no time being showing how to harvest and eat rare verieties. The beach, natural springs and watefalls make it all worth the hike in. This was an incredible way to explore historical, and most inaccessible Hawaii. The treehouse, which is available to stay in, is unique and a whole adventure in itself. We felt like we had the freedom to have space and explore solo if we wanted but Jo'el is so fun and full of information we chose to spend our days becoming friends. We will try our best to come back again soon! <3

Wow.. Simply amazing. Lets start with arrival where were are greated by 2 wonderful dogs and two lovely cats. Then Casey welcomes us and shows us around. The private yurt is lovely and even has a frig and microwave. The seperate "gilligans island" bathroom as he calls it is so cool. Then the public area by the pool with chairs, couches, TV, drink area and a great view of horses, sheep and cows with the ocean in the distant background. We instantly wished we were staying several nights instead of just one. A nice nights sleep, earplugs did help with the birds and neighbors dogs hearding some cattle in the morning. Lovely coffee then a tasty breakfast of eggs, pancakes and fruit with the wonderful view.
Enjoyed chating with Casey and his hospitality was unreal. We will certianly book a longer stay next time we return to the Big Island... Many Thanks

I was looking for a quiet spot to do Tai chi as the sun was rising then finish my book. This spot was perfect, with a georgeous view, permaculture vibe and a small pavilion to chill in. A nice breeze was blowing thru the evening and the sound of the cane grass and banana tree leaves is a memory ill carry for a long time.
I even came back a few nights later and used this as base camp before a great hike in the Kau desert which was on my hike list for a long time.
I highly recomend this spot for anyone looking for peice and quite.
