2 nights at Peaceful Tiny Home North Shore

Off the highway and private. House was nicely put together, clean, and comfortable. Kitchen was basic but suitable for our needs. Outdoor space had chair cushions that were wet from the rain when we arrived, but they did dry eventually in the sun. Better chairs that could be towel dried would have been nice to use the patio more than we did.

We camped at several sites around the island and this one was by far the cleanest and was the only one with beach access. The host was really helpful too. It did seem spendy at first - but I would do it again knowing how clean the bathroom was and how nice it was to have the outdoor kitchen and potable water.

1 night at Maleka Farm: Camper-van & Tent

The camp site was just what I needed. Pulled my camper van in and the washrooms where clean and accessable. Do not dive there after dark without watching the YouTube video on how to get there (my travel wary self was not able to navigate the Google maps coordinates sent to me and I got turned around). Don't do what I did. Watch the video;). Thanks Savanna and Jill for the secure place to park overnight. Much appreciated.

Perfect location if you want a spot right on the beach. Very clean and secure area with no issues. When you’re on David’s land, you feel like you own the island, but it’s also a short drive to any restaurant or convenience store., You get the best of both worlds. David was a splendid host, very helpful on arrival and we couldn’t ask for anything better.

1 night at Sun Farm Hawaii @ Koko Head

We loved our stay! The bathroom was clean and conveniently located. We got in late and it was still easy to find in the dark. We loved the communal feel and had we been there longer would’ve loved to enjoy the other amenities. Would definitely recommend to friends!!!

Spectacular spot! Exactly as advertised, and both convenient and comfortable. Highly recommended!

6 nights at Zen Oaezis in Sacred Valley

This is my second time camping at Mason's land. I selected the Hideway site. The site had a gorgeous view of the mountains and I could hear the waves at night. I loved how dark it got at night to see the stars. I felt safe and relaxed every night. There were less mosquitoes in Apirl than October.

1 night at Sun Farm Hawaii @ Koko Head

First of all, it's a beautiful escape from Waikiki and all the noise and people. The 'Lanai' yurt we were in was spacious and comfortable for 2 people. It had everything you need, a desk lamp, charge station, wifi, fan, suitcase holder, towels, clean sheets and pillows. The camp has two seperate bathrooms and two separate showers(with hot water), both with a wash station that are very clean for a farm. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and you can even cook your own food there if you wanted to. They have a small section in the kitchen for free to use stuff as well. In a side room they have produce for sale and you can pay cash or venmo and have fresh fruit and juice or coconuts! Another little room has a washer and dryer for campers, which we didn't use. We didn't use any of those facilities but others were using them so they are ready to go for you! It's a nice little farm on the side of a hill and away from any sounds except nature at night. The chickens will start crowing at about 3am so have earplugs ready if you don't want to wake up then!! You'll definitely want bug spray or at least make sure you kill any mosquitos in your tent/yurt before you sleep. Lastly, they have the most adorable white lab Waimea, on the farm! Waimea would follow us around and doesn't bark without reason to. We were sad the day we left, waimea wasn't around so we didn't get to say goodbye. 😢 Loved our time there and would definitely go back. ❤️

Weekend Trip to the beach

If you are camping this is a must stop!! As a female travelling alone , I felt completely safe here. David is a wonderful host. I have an RV site, everything you need. Electric hook up, sewer hook up if needed. Outdoor kitchen, shower and bathroom. And your own private beach with a fire pit. Truly marvellous!!! I loved this site so much I decided to keep it as my base for the rest of my trip. And on one of my days there, whilst taking a walk along the beach I came across a turtle! Just resting there on the sand. I was really chuffed. And even though I am from the UK, I actually live in Canada. I was relieved to discover that David did not apply a 25% tariff!! 😂 Thankyou David for a wonderful time and memories I’ll never forget. I intend to return ….,

Weekend Trip to Sun Farm Hawaii @ Koko Head

I had a lot of fun at this property. It was easy to get to. Super low-key and the volunteers were nothing but helpful. The community areas are great. The showers are good when they’re warm. Bathrooms are comfy. And the vibes are pretty good too. It’s only a five minute drive from Koko Head hike which was amazing to do. I would definitely return and camp here again.

5 nights at Sun Farm Hawaii @ Koko Head

This is a wonderful place. I am an experienced boondocker and had a relaxing 5 night stay in a rented car in the camper van section. Hot showers, clean toilets, use of a full outdoor kitchen including dedicated space in the fridge, laundry for a fee, etc. Just be respectful. The staff lent me a pad and pillow for sleeping in the rental car, and I left supplies behind for future campers. It was easy to get west to Honolulu, to the beautiful eastern beaches, to numerous hiking trails, and the proximity to the Hawaii Kai shopping center made food and amenities easy. The staff and residents (young folks from all over the world) were smart, interesting, and very helpful and accommodating. The campers were ALL understanding of the ground rules and were happy to chat and trade tips, we ranged in age from 5yrs - 70 yrs (me). Folks were quiet by 9pm, it was dark and silent at night, and the roosters did not start up too early. The farm dog, cats, and roosters/chickens add to the ambiance. I would stay here again on my next return (I lived nearby 25 years ago).

1 night at Waimanalo Farmstay

My partner and I stayed at both the Banana Patch and Orchard Wall tents and they were perfect. Everything was exactly as described. The guides made travel to the locations very easy and staying on the property was wonderful. As it is a rural area, some animal noises at night were unavoidable (like chickens and dogs), but it didn’t impact our sleep. We would definitely look to stay here again the next time we visit Oahu.

6 nights at Sun Farm Hawaii @ Koko Head

I stayed there while visiting my daughter who attends UH. Close enough to get her back and forth to classes as she wanted to stay at camp. We were in the Oahu tent. Worked well for two people. It's peaceful and beautiful. We never met any staff...a few volunteers who mostly kept to themselves. Enjoyed chats with other travelers. The hot water went out the last 2 days we were there (out of 6). That was unfortunate. Bathrooms were clean. Nice to have a place to store food and prep easy meals. Would be nice if they added a few hooks/coat stand/another travel rack in the tent. Wifi worked great and fan was great. Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Chickens and roosters were talkative!

Weekend Trip to Mangrove Lounge

Super quiet and nice experience - tucked away but close to all amenities. Host is very kind and helpful! Great tent/picnic table areas to utilize. Great for our camper-van experience

2 nights at the beach

My time at David’s property was nothing short of a great time. The views are spectacular. Morning ocean views with the wind on you. Sunsets and then the starry sky if there’s no clouds. The parking was easy to back into, he meets with you and shows you all you need to know. Nice place to do your dishes which was very nice. Bathroom and shower (showers tricky to get hot n cold just right lol) but I got it! Got to sit and talk with David a few times and he’s a really cool guy. Even lost to a game of horseshoe to him. (I’ll be back for revenge haha). All around great property to get some beach front vibes going. I’ll be coming back if I’m ever on the island again. Thanks again, David!

2 nights at Hau'ula Hideaway

The Hau’lua hideaway tiny home is a perfect spot to get away from the tourists on Oahu! The house is a set up beautifully for hanging out and a nice nights sleep, the hosts are kind and responsive and the location is perfect. The house is a few blocks to a great beach and a short drive to many awesome beaches, restaurants and tourist attractions. On top of this, popular north shore spots aren’t far and it is an easy hour to Honolulu and Waikiki, if that’s your thing. If you want to stay a bit off of the beaten path and have a relaxing place to rest your head at the end of a day out, this spot is for you!

2 nights at Waimanalo Farmstay

Clean with amazing views of the mountains even from the shower! Fairly quiet with the exception of roosters and some neighbors. Other hip campers were very friendly. Used the helpful suggestions that were in the hosts profile for places to visit and eat.

1 night at Waimanalo Farmstay

Beautiful/stunning views - a lovely stay, few amenities but would definitely recommend.

3 nights at the beach

It was basic, but we didn't want or expect anything fancy. The hosts were welcoming, but respected our privacy. I appreciated having an affordable option, especially right on the beach. I'd stay here again.

It is really all about the secure and private beach access with gated entry to a beautiful beach! It was very nice that we had a FOB key to be able to come and go. We really appreciated David accommodating our check in time so early in the day. I could see using it as a base to explore the island especially if visiting locations on the west side. We quickly discovered that the places on the Windward side and Honolulu required us to drive the H1. We didn't take into account the rush-hour traffic that is on the H1 that is comparable to other big cities in mainland USA. Doubled our travel time but if you go off-hours should be OK. David is clearly very busy with 2 jobs and appreciates campers who will follow his directions closely. His messages are very brief and to the point. When on site he is friendly and more chatty. The facilities were equal to other Hip Camp locations we stayed at, rustic but functional. This was definitely the most expensive Hip Camp spot that we stayed at in Oahu and the only one where we had to pay extra to use the toilet and shower. David's property is hands-down the best for for having private beach access where you can come and go. It is worth it just for that. But in terms of facilities and camping experience (we were in RV) other locations are similar and much less expensive, I would recommend this location to anyone who wanted access to a private beach who doesn't mind sharing it with 1 or 2 other campsites.

Waimanalo Farmstay

7 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents5 acres · Kailua, HI

This is a breathtaking space that our family has poured many decades and multiple generations into. We are surrounded by jungle, with a freshwater stream running through the entire property and unobstructed mountain views. If you’re especially sensitive to mosquitos, bugs, geckos, free roaming chickens or other elements to be expected in nature, this might not be the place for you. Waimanalo is a small agricultural town filled with nurseries, horse stables, and a high concentration of Hawaiian homes. It remains mostly undeveloped and authentic, and we aim to keep it that way. Outsiders do not often get the opportunity to stay back here, but we welcome respectful travelers looking for an authentic experience who can appreciate this privilege. While nestled against the mountains, we're just a five minute drive from the beach. We are fifteen minutes from Kailua town, where you'll find several grocery stores, shops, and restaurants. This is a working farm. While we are very hospitable, we are not in the business of hospitality. I am happy to accommodate travelers, but I am not here at your beck and call. If that is the experience you are seeking, I think you would be happier elsewhere. We appreciate all of your bookings, and profits go directly back into farm infrastructure and new fruit trees. Thank you for looking!
