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.

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.

I'm shooting east from site number 9 at 10:30p. Camping at Namakanipaio costs $20 per night $15 if you already have a Volcano's park pass. These sites get less costal moisture at night than camping in the national park and are 3 miles from the park entrance.

Weekend Trip to 🌈 Rainbow’s End Farm & Homestead!

We enjoyed our comfy bed and deck perch in the jungle. The open kitchen was lovely to cook in. Wendy was away, but communication was excellent, and the caretakers were available, helpful and welcoming. We were driving a Honda Fit with very low clearance, so we drove the rocky road VERY slowly, and planned to come and go only once a day (we spent two nights). I would stay there again for sure, but only if I had a vehicle with higher clearance.

Weekend Trip to Sunrise Cabanas Panoramic Views

Tent camped for just one night but what a great property and wonderful amenities. Loved the outdoor shower and pavilion. Awesome views as well.

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 Affordable Hawai'i

Loved the campsite, cozy tent and even a bit of ocean view. Host was welcoming and kind, left us local fruit and warm tea. Bonus for flush toilets and a warm (indoor) shower! Great location, remote and quiet but a close drive to some nice local spots. Great middle ground if you're traveling from Kona to Hilo and sightseeing along the way. Last bit of the route is a bit rough though, make sure you're ready for dirt roads.

Weekend Trip to 🌈 Rainbow’s End Farm & Homestead!

I loved treehouse living at Rainbow’s End. This is my happy place! Waking up to birds talking, surrounded by greenery and trees, in a (very) comfortable bed (with mosquito net) is one of my very favorite things. Super relaxing, great getaway. I will definitely be back! Thank you! ♥️🌈

Weekend Trip to 🌈 Rainbow’s End Farm & Homestead!

We loved staying at Wendy’s! She was an incredibly generous host and communicated really well. As soon as we landed in Kona, she let us know that a volcano was fountaining, told us to head straight there, and had no issues with our late check-in as a result! Literally a once in a lifetime opportunity we would have missed if not for Wendy. The space itself was beautiful. Wendy’s property is gorgeous and she gave us a lovely tour of all the fruit trees she’s planted. The little cabin we stayed in was cozy and we loved having breakfast out in the deck. If we’re ever in the area again, we’d stay at Wendy’s in a heartbeat.

4 nights at Camp South Pt Green/Blacksand Beach

We booked this room to extend our trip, and it was perfect. The space was both spacious and cozy, with thoughtful touches like a fridge and toaster oven that made our stay extra comfortable. The view from the room was incredible — a beautiful breeze and scenery we could’ve enjoyed for hours. Our host was truly the best. Their local recommendations were spot-on and added so much to our trip. We’re so grateful for their kindness and hospitality. Highly recommend this stay!

Weekend Trip to Waipio KOA

Epic, back to the ‘Aina experience. Matthias embodied the spirit of aloha… he went above and beyond to sherpa luggage for our elder companion. This is not for the faint of heart. Don’t forget your organic mosquito repellent 🤙 Will be back!

8 nights at Sacred Nature Sanctuary

Could not recommend this place enough, it was such a peaceful space with beautiful views. We left feeling refreshed with full hearts. The host was more than welcoming, gave wonderful suggestions for local places to consider. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed.

6 nights at Camp South Pt Green/Blacksand Beach

We had such an amazing experience here! The sunset views alone made this stay unforgettable — truly some of the most beautiful we’ve ever seen. Our host went above and beyond, from sharing wonderful local recommendations to graciously allowing us to extend our stay when we weren’t ready to leave. The property was peaceful, well cared for, and perfect for unwinding. We loved having a place to dry our towels and swimsuits after long days outside, and the fresh tangelo from the garden was such a special touch. You can really tell how much care and intention goes into making guests feel welcome here. We’re already talking about coming back. Highly, highly recommend this stay!

2 nights at Hawaii Island's Best Campsites

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

1 night at Jacaranda Ridge

Breathtaking views! The best bathroom and the kindest host. Something to note is that the site is right by the house if you don’t mind. Overall one of the most beautiful remote site! (Don’t drive down to the lower part of the property like me, volcanic rocks are no joke on an incline)

1 night at Roadside Fruit Stand Exotic Orchard

Beautiful peaceful spot. Loved the yummy treats from the fruit stand before settling in for the evening. The porta potty provided was the cleanest we’d used in our whole 10 day trip! Had a visit from the sheep in the morning before heading out. Thanks for the stay :)

Beautiful spot. Very private. Pool is wonderful. Great fire pit for a cozy fire. Close to many fun spots to explore. Dogs are very friendly and wanted to hang out with us. If you're not a dog person, this may not be the right spot for you.

4 nights at Roadside Fruit Stand Exotic Orchard

Nice private camp area behind locked gate. Careful there is a lot of broken glass as you drive past the gate towards the campsite, I cleaned up a lot but the more I cleaned up the more I found. The code to the gate was wrong on the directions - luckily there was a worker at the fruit stand that gave me the right one. Tried to get a hold of the host regarding wifi but took over a day - called twice, WhatsApp, text - she finally responded to a text. Nice place to unwind and not have anyone bother you.

2 nights at Magical yurt, stunning spa bathroom

The yurt is set on a beautiful farm and has all the amenities you'd need. I'd recommend bringing ear plugs if you are a light sleeper-as the sounds of the lush and dense tropical forest night life (maybe frogs) continue all night! My family and I were comfortable here for our 2 night stay and were able to dine in for all meals with the provided kitchen and fridge
