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.
Off the grid. Rustic, but fun.
If you are a Eco tourist or seeking adventure, you will love our spot!

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!

When you picture Hawaii, it’s likely that idyllic sandy beaches come to mind. And with miles and miles of beautiful coastline, this is definitely for good reason! But Hawaii is also home to loads of different ecosystems, including lush, tropical jungles abounding with wildlife. Get the best of both worlds at Kalōpā State Recreation Area, whose green forests sit right on the edge of Hawaii’s classic tropical beaches. A picturesque trail—the Kalōpā Nature Trail—winds through the park and showcases some of the Big Island’s incredible diversity of flora and fauna. This is also the perfect spot to be if you’re looking to escape the hot island heat, as much of the trail and the park is shaded by a gorgeous canopy of trees. Kalōpā is one awe-inspiring wilderness escape in the northeastern corner of the island of Hawaii.

Waipi'o Lodge and Campsite is located in Kukuihaele less than a mile from majestic Waipiʻo Valley. In a place where horses and wild turkeys often wander by, this is the old Hawaiʻi. A place where neighbors stop to talk and life is sweet as the smell of sugar cane grass. You'll enjoy a wonderful ocean view and the many fruit and macadamia nut trees on the property. We usually have perfect weather- sunshine, blue skies, a nice breeze, with temperatures in the high 70's.
The campsite is part of the Waipi'o Lodge, which has three bedrooms and a common space living room. Our camping guests are welcome to use the outside kitchen, covered lanai, and Lodge bathroom. We also have high speed Wi-Fi.
Our guests tend to be excellent company, usually visiting from Europe, the US Mainland, Australia and beyond. Many use our place as a launching point for hiking in Waipi'o Valley or backpacking trips into Waimanu Valley.

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.
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.
Shared bathroom (see photos) about a 100 feet away. Hipcamp kitchenette includes a propane single burner, ice chest, No fridge. No oven. We have an outdoor fire pit, if you like campfires!
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 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!
This is off the grid solar and there can be days without sun, or other glitches. No wifi. I use ATandT and I understand that Verizon and Tmobile work also
The panoramic ocean view is spectacular! Very peaceful and relaxing!
The back 15 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.
We have beautiful furnished cabins with beds, so you don't have to pitch a tent. Pillows, blankets, fresh towels provided.

Weekend Trip to Coco Hut Glamping at Honua La'a
What a unique and remarkably peaceful place. The yurt was extremely comfortable, including the bed, and the hosts were very kind. We would 100% stay here again if we were in the area. Our two-wheel SUV did okay but we needed a little momentum to get up out of the property back onto the road. We did not attempt to take it down to the green sand beach. Definitely stay here to get away from the crowds and absolute silence aside from the sound of rain on the rooftop when it comes and tons of lovely birds.

1 night at Coco Hut Glamping at Honua La'a
Lovely stay, I wish we had more than one night. The stars at night were so clear. We didn't meet Debbie in person but she was so kind, attentive, and quick to respond and check-in with us. They've clearly put a lot of thought and care into both the set-up of the cabin and the surrounding area, it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The scenery was like being on Mars. The night we stayed was so very windy we had to make sure our items weren't being blown away - part of the fun!! Definitely check the weather ahead of time if you're wanting to do a campfire. The hot outdoor shower was the best we had on Big Island and so welcome with this chilly weather. The green sand beach was so much fun to visit but you definitely need 4x4. The approach road to the campsite is not bad at all, just go slow and make sure you get groceries etc. in advance/early as the area's quite remote.

We had a great time. The rooms are comfortable, with ceiling fans and several screened windows to create a breeze. Showers and bath rooms are very close, and even though they are outside, the walk to and from is protected from the rain. The kitchen area was well appointed, with several sinks and a stove, dishes, kettles, things for coffee, and more. The site itself is gorgeous, with great views. Belinda was in touch throughout also, and very helpful. She was able to move a second bed to the room before we got there. It was very quiet too. We loved it.

3 nights at Coco Hut Glamping at Honua La'a
My man friend and I stayed at the Coco Hut just as it was coming back online after a period of less frequent hosting. We were lucky enough to spend three nights here in a surreal landscape of lava rock, intermittently spaced okai trees, breeze, sky, and, at night, an aggressively loud set of stars. That's the only loud thing about this place as it is otherwise incredibly serene and peaceful. As people who were intending to camp, we were super comfortable in a big bed in a clean little rondavel / yurt/ cabin with a detached rustic toilet area. Thoughtful touches with a disproportionately wide reach started with warm hospitality and responsiveness by our hostess, Debbie, and extended to the cooler (stocked with enough ice for the first night), the outdoor shower stocked with all of the toiletries one would need, a propane burner, a cleaning station for dishes, two serviceable knives and a cutting board, & two each of utensils/plates/mugs.
The location is close to very cool outdoors activities. We enjoyed driving and then walking the rest of the way down the increasingly ROUGH Road to the Sea to check out the green sand beach, as well as an excellent tour of the volcanically created lava tubes, Kula Kai Caverns. At the caverns, you can go on a low commitment, short tour or a longer tour billed at $98 for 2 and 1/2 hours. We chose the latter and had a deep reveal in all senses of the word under the care and education of can tour guide Mo. Wonderful stay w/ great folks!

This felt like our antidote to high cost, sterile-looking tourist resorts, but with a resort worthy view, and genuine hospitality. The Comfy RV was exactly our speed, and was a magical experience. This spot is ideal if you don’t mind the quirks and nuances of an older RV and value quiet and the natural beauty of the island. The RV is older, but is well maintained, clean and well stocked with what you need to cook, etc. The lanai has the most gorgeous view and is an excellent spot to sit with a cup of coffee, we saw whales one morning, or to do homework midday as my kids did. The evening sunset is beautiful. Mark and Chris are kind and generous hosts. Getting down the driveway from the main road definitely requires 4WD…, for sure. My only hesitation in recommending this gem is that I don’t want it to be booked up the next time we visit! Part of why we want to come back to Hawaii is to have a chance to stay there again.

3 nights at Gingerhill Farm Retreat
This was my landing place before spending the rest of my time camping on the island. The bed in the yurt was very comfy (I had the best nights of sleep!) and had just enough space for my things. I really enjoyed the kitchen and outdoor seating area that looked out to the ocean, and I especially enjoyed the nice hot shower.
I was a little confused with the parking (I initially parked in the area that was meant for the other lodging sites) as I didn't see the "yurt" on the signs pointing to the other parking area. Even though I ran into a staff member who ended up helping me find my way, I was given a very impersonal and rushed overview of where things were (bathrooms, kitchen, washrooms, etc.).

Weekend Trip to Jacaranda Ridge
Nice private cabin and shared bathroom as described. Charger available for devices. No kitchen but Eddie was very nice and offered to keep ice in his freezer and brought coffee in the morning. Toilet and hot shower work well. Good value for the price given it's Hawaii and perfect location close to South Point!

3 nights at Waipi'o Lodge
The tent overlooking the ocean was amazing! It’s down a quiet road away from the masses. Nice place to recharge and eat the fresh fruit.

3 nights at Sacred Nature Sanctuary
This is a very special place! Very sweet people and well kept land and rental spaces. I give it all the stars. The shared kitchen and shared bathroom that comes with renting the Cacau sweet were nice and were low use (not many other renters using them). The land is magical with fruit trees and flowering plants everywhere! You can also walk up the hill through the coffee farm. The frogs are loud at night but I enjoyed them. ear plugs provided on the night stand for those who don’t.

2 nights at Starseed Ranch
We enjoyed all aspects of our stay; the kind greetings, the quiet setting, the clean and comfortable hale and the beautiful outdoor kitchen. We appreciated the shared coffee, refrigerator space and common area where we met the lovely staff and the few guests.

15 ft campervan
We had a wonderful time staying there and Brannon was a fantastic host and took great care of us. The ocean view was amazing and it was nice to have so much open space. Also the other people staying there were really fun to hang out with and it was a great community. Also the location is really easy to get to and the roads are good all the way there. The L&L Hawaiian Barbecue restaurant was right down the road and it had great food
