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.

Mae is an amazing and super friendly host. We had coffee every morning and bonded over our K-drama obsession. Really appreciated her helping me pull my car out of a low spot. The place is beautiful and peaceful. Definitely recommended.

We stayed at both of Mae’s campsites for a week, and it was an amazing experience. The sites are thoughtfully equipped with hot showers, flush toilets, a sink, a sun/rain dome, a propane stove, and a campfire—everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We had planned to explore so much of the Big Island, but the campsite was so peaceful and nourishing that I often just wanted to stay there all day and do nothing. Mae is a wonderful host and such an interesting person to chat with. She welcomed us for morning tea and coffee and even shared delicious fruits from her farm. I would absolutely stay here again on my next visit to the Big Island. Highly recommended.

This camp was super fantastic. Our Host Mae was very caring for us (Malama ) and came to welcome us warmly when we arrive. The site was extraordinary with more than 2 acres just for us with a little lake , a place to play volleyball , a place to play balloon on a pole , and even a disc golf course that we could use with the disks furnished by the host!!!
..the restroom where the cleanest that I ever seen with , not one , but two showers and two restrooms And the showers were present with hot water.
Everything was so clean. I could not believe it !!
And the land: I thought for a moment that I was camping on a par 3 of Pebble Beach California !!!
in supplement we had the right to pick up fruits from trees: Lemons, limes, oranges, finger, lemons, tangerines, and others !!
We even had a very nice dog name Knob! That came and welcome us, and was really great with us!!
In all, this was the best IPC experience that we ever had up to now!
Thanks Mae!

Mae was such a kind and generous host! Bathroom and shower were well kept, water temp was warm initially, but Mae was super attentive to my needs and was nice enough to make the water hotter for me! The property was stunning and easy to find. The site was equipped with a pop up tent with a table to help provide shelter from the rain should you have to pack in or out when it's raining. The bathroom had a really cool map of the island with points of interest in addition to info about where the nearest pharmacy, gas station and other useful info was. Mae's house and property in general were such a peaceful place to decompress and enjoy the beauty of the big island when I wasn't out exploring. Great peaceful site to come back to and would definitely stay again!

My fiancé and I were very fortunate to instant book with Mae at her Moon Garden Farm midday. She's not only kind, but generous with sharing some of her tangerines with us! Her place was clean, quiet, and the facilities (toilet & shower) were very nice with evening ambient lights for late night use. We had some even rain showers, but the little pavilion/tent kept us dry as we cooked our evening dinner. I highly recommend staying at Mae's farm!

Jessie is an amazing host and person. When we arrived my daughter wasn’t feeling well. Jesse brought her crackers and us both sandwiches. He told us the best places to go. Thank you Jessie for sharing your rain forest paradise. Loved all the animals and flowers.

A very special place and folks. We stayed for two nights and got to know the land and something of it's people. Non-judgmental and welcoming attitude, in a valley with the ocean, the streams, the tropics, and fruit. Memorable.

Being in such a sacred and beautiful place was such an honor. Mathias was the perfect host. He checked on us regularly and brought fresh fruit. He is a generous, free spirit and we enjoyed every moment in the valley.

We had an unforgettable time at Waipi’o Valley at Jo’el’s campsite. Hiking down into the valley felt like we were going to a different time. Being greeted by a family of wild horses before camp was so lucky.
Jo’el was super welcoming, easy going, fun, very knowledgeable about the valley, its sacred traditions, and culture. We appreciated harvesting fruit for us, dipping in rivers, smelling flowers and his hospitality. While being creative and impromptu, he was also on point and adaptable to our specific needs, giving sound advice about hiking to Waimanu. Be prepared for a rugged, but enchanting experience.
We were all enamored and inspired with your vitality and character, Jo’el. Thank you for welcoming us into your world and reminding us that living simply and humbly is beautiful. The pull to Waipi’o will always be there bc of you. Malama pono.

Our family (dad, mom and 7 year old son) stayed with Jesse on his property, FlashTown, for two wonderful days. Can't say enough nice things--even after this relatively short time we were all genuinely sad to leave and consider Jesse to be a friend. Maybe a future e-pen pal for our son? The property is wild and glorious and we felt blessed to sleep in his rainforest with all the nature sounds and smells. IMO, this is what Hipcamp is all about. 10/10. (As a bonus, Jesse gave us samples of his skin care product, Fruity Puppy, and it's the real deal. We ended up buying a full size container when we left and have all been using it daily. If you camp here you'd be silly not to get a full container--it's that good.)

The kids loved fishing and we all appreciate the time Mae spent with us showing us how. Making Fire was so easy- really appreciate the option to buy wood and the little charcoal grill (provided). Mahalo Mae, we’ll be back with friends before too long!

This place is pure magic. It is peaceful, beautiful and full of delicious fruit. Jo'el is such a kind and welcoming host and his passion for the valley shows through everything his says and does, he really made us feel at home. The river, the beach, the valley and the trail, 2 nights was just not enough! One important detail is that even if you opt to have your car taken down the road there is still a 1 mile walk and river crossing to get to the camp itself. Totally worth it...just pack accordingly.

We loved camping at Mea s land. She is super friendly and shows the best hospitality you could thing of. There land is beautiful, very natural grass, well maintained, there are several game options like volleyball, tetherball, Frisbee golf,... And you can also feed farm animals or fish. Mea provides towels and plenty of basic stuff so useful for camping. It is an absolutely safe and secure area. We will certainly come back and I highly recommend you get a booking while the place is available.
