Camp under a starry sky with an unobstructed view of Mount Kilauea across a vast and bare moon-like landscape. Fire pit with a grill for cooking, benches, and a beautiful new composting toilet structure made from local albizia, ohia, and guava wood. Mostly hot and sunny, with occasional rain. Access to Volcanoes National Park and Kehena Beach. Learn more about this land: Lava covered the site on 5 September 1990, after more than a thousand years of peaceful fertility. The flow met the Hakuma horst and was diverted north, filling the village of Kalapana and the beautiful Kaimu Bay. Lava continued to flow in the area for another 20 years, until 2011. We are restoring the fertility by bringing in mulch and soil and planting coconuts, mango trees, moringa, plumeria, figs, dragonfruits, and more. Near the camp sites we've recently constructed a house out of local wood; it provides some shelter from the nearly constant trade winds. Premium strawberry guava BBQ firewood can be purchased by prior arrangement. There's a shower with cold water; it doesn't get very cold! 1 mile from ocean cliffs, 2 miles to a basic grocery store and a great weekly farmers market, 2.5 miles to Volcanoes National Park, 5 miles to Kehena public black sand beach at the base of the cliffs, with a community drum circle on Sundays. Welcome to the wild coast of South Puna! Optionally produce from our nearby rainforest garden.

Nestled between Mauna Loa and Kīlauea in the Kaʻū District, our 100-acre working farm offers guests a one-of-a-kind experience in nature, culture, and adventure. Just 10 minutes from Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park and a short drive from Punaluʻu Black Sand Beach, this location is a dream for explorers, stargazers, and nature lovers. Whether you're looking for solitude, eco-tourism, wellness, digital detox, or an enriching family getaway, this is the place! Step outside and you’re immersed in a living classroom of native flora, lava tubes, fruit orchards, and starlit skies. Wander trails through macnut groves, sip fresh coconut water under the monkeypod tree, or pick fruit straight from the trees—mango, banana, lilikoi, citrus, and more. Kids love the three-level treehouse, and families enjoy meeting our friendly farm animals: horses, cows, and farm dogs. At night, the Kaʻū Desert transforms into one of the darkest skies in the world. With no city lights for miles, stargazing is beyond incredible. Lay back with a blanket and marvel at the Milky Way, constellations, and even passing satellites or meteor showers. Our farm is rooted in Hawaiian values of sustainability, ʻohana (family), and aloha ʻāina (love for the land). We're happy to offer an optional guided farm tour or share stories about off-grid living and the volcanic history of the land. Guests leave not only rested, but deeply connected to the land and local culture. Please note: we are truly off the beaten path—no streetlights, no traffic, and no tourists.

Fire pit with a grill for cooking, benches, and a beautiful new composting toilet structure made from local albizia, ohia, and guava wood. Mostly hot and sunny, with occasional rain. Access to Volcanoes National Park and Kehena Beach. Learn more about this land: Lava covered the site on 5 September 1990, after more than a thousand years of peaceful fertility. The flow met the Hakuma horst and was diverted north, filling the village of Kalapana and the beautiful Kaimu Bay. Lava continued to flow in the area for another 20 years, until 2011. We are restoring the fertility by bringing in mulch and soil and planting coconuts, mango trees, moringa, plumeria, figs, dragonfruits, and more. Near the camp sites we've recently constructed a house out of local wood; it provides some shelter from the nearly constant trade winds. Premium strawberry guava BBQ firewood can be purchased by prior arrangement. There's a shower with cold water; it doesn't get very cold! 1 mile from ocean cliffs, 2 miles to a basic grocery store and a great weekly farmers market, 2.5 miles to Volcanoes National Park, 5 miles to Kehena public black sand beach at the base of the cliffs, with a community drum circle on Sundays.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is a little over an hour drive and the Maunakea Visitors Center is an hour and 15 minutes. Other sites and adventures include Umauma Zip lining and Botanical World Adventures (5 miles away), Onomea Bay scenic drive and Hawaii Tropical Botanic Garden (8 miles away), the historic town of Honokaa (45 mins), and the beautiful cowboy town of Waimea (1 hour). Hakalau Springs Campground sits on 11 acres with two springs bordering the property with a variety of fruit trees and farm animals to interact with. We offer basic campsites with picnic tables, drinking water, a fire pit, a composting toilet, and a pop-up tent in case it rains. You will be camping on soft grass amongst giant Ironwood and eucalyptus trees while listening to the soft sounds of the creek below. Take a swim in the spring-fed waterfall swimming hole and relax by the fire pit at night. We also offer our beautiful 2 room tent fully furnished with a queen-sized air mattress, cozy bedding, lantern, and camping lounge chairs. Cooler upon request, you provide the ice. We’re blessed to be located on the rainy side of the island because of all the abundance and greenery the rain brings. That being said, please be prepared for the weather. It can rain hard at times so having a good rain jacket is a great idea. On the other hand, people say that a sunny day on the east side of the big island is the best place to be in all of Hawaii. Come stay at Hakalau Springs Campground and discover “off the beaten path” Hawaii.

We are an off-grid intentional community in the rain forest of East Hawaii in the Puna district. We have acres of tropical fruit trees, clumping bamboo, bananas and other plants. We have about 20 different tropical breeze houses, which are hand made screened in structures that are nestled into the forest along walking trails. We're at the end of a 3 mile long unpaved road, so we are very secluded and have little outside noise. We are not a bed and breakfast, we are not a farm, we are not a place looking to rent cabins -- we are an intentional community and Permaculture homestead whose primary mission is healing, activating, and living our holistic hearts in multigenerational bonded community. We are growing holistic culture and creating a beautiful world together. We want to share this place and find partners in our mission/play/joy (both short and long term). We have a men's dorm and a women's dorm and breeze houses for couples and families. We do allow camping, but we rarely have it happen. People usually sleep in our buildings. We have two communal kitchen, living room, dining rooms, communal showers, and lots of space to explore nature.

So the “secret treehouse” is quite a treat. It’s SUPER secluded with nothing but the sound of rainforest creatures to keep you company. You can’t see lights from anything but the night sky when it gets dark. It’s got four porches, all covered, as well as a GIANT outdoor covered gathering area under the house itself. The sleeping loft is comfortable even for adults as long as you’re okay climbing a ladder, but the main floor also has a queen bed for those who don’t want to climb. Kitchen is well appointed and useful, though be prepared for no dishwasher (it’s a treehouse!). Half bath on the main floor, but the full bath is on the “ground” level, so you’re doing steps down to shower. This place is simply incredible. So cozy, but has pretty much everything you need including fast internet. Well, no dishwasher and no laundry (but the closest pay laundry is between there and the entrance of Volcanoes National Park, which is pretty close). There’s a bit of a haul through the woods to get your stuff to the treehouse, but it’s WORTH IT! Definitely hoping to get back and stay in this place again.

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! Jeff and Suzan

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!

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!

Staying at Thomas’s place was absolutely wonderful! From the moment we arrived, Thomas was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive, a truly wonderful host. The camp itself is quiet and peaceful, surrounded by the beauty and stillness of the Big Island. It’s definitely rustic, simple, and close to nature, but that’s exactly what makes it so special. You can really disconnect, slow down, and enjoy the essentials. Waking up to birdsong and falling asleep under the stars, accompanied by the gentle chorus of coqui frogs, felt absolutely magical.

Off-Grid Oasis Retreat in the Heart of Puna, Hawai‘i Escape to a unique, off-grid oasis nestled on a tropical fruit farm beside one of Hawai‘i’s great volcanoes. This is more than a place to stay — it’s a lifestyle experience set in the wild and mystical region of Puna, the last frontier left in Hawaii. Here, freedom and the spirit of Aloha thrive. We live close to nature — outdoors by day, indoors by night — in harmony with the land and under the watchful presence of Pele, the revered goddess of volcanoes. The property features 18 varieties of tropical fruit trees, offering a literal taste of paradise in what we lovingly call our Garden of Eatin’. Nearby attractions include: Walk up the sides of a volcanic cone and stare down into the throat of the lava tube that erupted in 2018, just 10 minutes from us. A clothing-optional black sand beach perfect for working on your tan lines. Geothermal hot ponds for natural volcanic soaks, just 15 mins away. This is Hawai‘i, raw and real — for those seeking connection, peace, and a touch of wild magic.

Aloha and welcome to Volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii, where a slower pace is our lifestyle! My 6-acre farmstead is a mostly undeveloped, secluded jungle with a bit of forest. Enjoy your morning with local coffee or tea, and the many native birds who call it home and a variety of free-range, engaging farm animals. Be an explorer! Create your own trails, and see what secrets this beautiful, untamed jungle has to offer. There is always a relaxing spot on Bear's island, offering a shady perimeter of large native trees, a nice place for some sun or an evening fire to sit back, talk story and be amazed by the millions of stars unseen anywhere else on the planet. If you enjoy a farming or gardening experience, there is never a shortage of options. Just a few short miles away is Kilauea volcano (I'm on the safe side of the rift zone), which began erupting December 2024. Often shooting lava 1,000 feet above the caldera rim, it is a force of nature rarely seen by most. Just on the other side of the mountain awaits sprawling mountain views, Punalu'u Bakery, and a gorgeous black sand beach featuring one of the few places in the world that hosts a sea turtle resting sanctuary and viewing area. And there is always the coconut guy to show you how it's done! Hilo Bay is a 20+ minute drive, boasts waterfront shopping, fantastic restaurants and bakeries, a daily farmer's market and much more. Just north of Hilo is the scenic Hamakua Coast where you can hike through the rainforest and Waipio Valley Lookout, complete with wild horses. Back at Volcano, there a few things of note: The weather is TYPICALLY 72°-61°, not too windy or overcast. It can also be rainy for extended periods. Cabin is secluded, primitive, rustic, off-grid. There is a twin bed, mosquito net, dresser, room for a sleeping bag and a bathhouse with toilet/solar shower. Device charging available. A case of bottle water is included. Potable water included for duration of your stay. BONUS...I also have no nearby neighbors. The most useful part of your adventure is the locals. We know all the best spots to visit not found in guidebooks! Please feel free to address special needs or request. Book your stay today and see for yourself why the Big Island truly is paradise🤙🏻
