The Bali Hale allows you to experience the magic of the outdoors, while still having many modern comforts of home.  With a completely screened in guest room featuring a queen bed and nightstands, you can let the coquis lull you to sleep and then wake up to the sound of songbirds. In your own private 1/2 acre, secluded from the main house, you are surrounded by 6 acres of jungle and palm trees, spend your days swinging in the outdoor chair hammock; cooking food in the kitchen, (which is complete with electric stovetop, blender, sink, fridge and toaster oven); taking a hot bath in the jungle or outdoor shower; meditate and practice yoga asana on your own outdoor yoga platform; or on a clear night spend your time by a campfire while gazing at the stars.  Only 9 blocks from the ocean cliffs, a 5 minute drive will have you viewing epic sunrises, fishing, hiking or simply breathing deep lung fulls of the cleanest air in the world. You can also drive 35 minutes to the Pohiki warm ponds (volcanically heated tide pools), grab a coffee at the Tin Shack or shop the boutiques in eclectic Pahoa town, or head up the mountain to Volcanos National Park. Experience a slice of the jungle, all while being amidst a laid back neighborhood, close to the main roads that will take you on your next adventure!

MAUNA LOA CAMP

Mauna Loa Camp is about 20 minutes from Hilo on "The Big Island" (Hawaii) in the Hawaiian Acres neighborhood. The actual address is 16-1648 Ooaa Rd. (Road #6), Kurtistown, HI 96760. It’s a 3-acre parcel that’s entirely fenced, with wide open areas to set up wherever you like. We planted lots of fruit trees in 2025 and 2026, and we expect to harvest fruit in 1–3 years. The air is fresh, and the stars are amazing — like I’ve never seen before. I also love the Coqui Frog songs at night. This location is ideal for taking day trips anywhere on the island (about 2 hours to Kona). The waterfront in Hilo is unique, with calm pools of water set well inland from the ocean. Wild orchids and flowers grow at the camp. You can pick wild strawberry guava or hit the local markets for incredible fruits like lychee, longan, rambutan, soursop, oranges, tangerines, avocado, starfruit, lemon, macadamia nuts, pineapple, and banana. All of these are available at markets when in season, and in a few years, some can be picked right at Mauna Loa Camp (perhaps by 2028). I live in the Rochester, NY area and we operate four camps in NY, one in SC, and one in FL. Our sites are rustic — no electricity, no water — just you and nature. We provide portable toilets and/or a porta-potty, and there is a public shower at a park in Hilo. Our goal is to keep our camps simple and in harmony with nature. We expect respect for our land and neighbors, with absolutely zero trash left behind (carry in, carry out). You will love it — everyone does. Hawaii is a special place, and we feel so lucky to be part of it! We rent to only one group at a time, ensuring total privacy. My friends and neighbors in the area are wonderful assets, making it a lovely place to be one with our planet and nature.

Stay in a volcano, on a volcano... Don't let your adventure stop at the national park! Come experience living in a luxurious volcano dome home where you will live in synergy with the natural exquisite surroundings. The cinder we used to build the whole dome comes from the local query produced from big island's natural volcanic features. We promise you'll lava it! Location and Amenities: Strategically located- •19 miles (25 minutes) from Hilo •23 miles (35 minutes) from Pahoa •12 miles (15 minutes) from Keaau •10 minutes from Volcano Town 2 hours from Kona, we recommend flying into Hilo if you book the same day of your flight! A SUV or jeep is an ideal choice when staying here as the last 500 feet (1 minute of drive time) of the drive is off-road and quite rocky. You will transverse your private entrance passing the Cassandra's (the host's) tiny house. When you arrive you will be greeted by the serene beauty of the jungle. While is isn't 100% private as the host lives next door, we can still promise a peaceful escape from the everyday world. We recommend stopping for snacks in Hilo or Keaau on the way up as those towns have more options than the sleepy Volcano Village. Important Considerations Before Booking: As luxurious and adventurous as Inn a Volcano is, staying in an off-grid volcano dome home in the Hawaiian jungle comes with expected 'challenges.' My goal is to give you an experience that combines Tarzan's hideout with a 5-star experience so lets get you prepped! 1. Water Source •The tap water comes from rain catchment. It is not potable (not for drinking.) We will provide drinking water. 2. Electricity •We're solar-powered, so please conserve energy. High voltage items like hair dryers or irons are not provided. If you bring these and use them there is a chance that the power will shut off. Please shut off lights when you leave. The windows and a skylight allows ample natural light during the day. 3. Weather •We are located on the rainy side of the Big Island so be prepared for wet weather. Enjoy the pitter patter of rain like a playlist. Let it relax you, and don't let it dampen your plans. 4. Wildlife •Since we are in the jungle, don't be shocked if you see bugs and insects such as moths, fruit flies, and mosquitoes.

Weekend Trip to Pahoa Enjoy The Adventure Camp

If you need a 5 star resort with room service and all the amenities, then this is not the place for you. However, if you love the outdoors, have an adventurous spirit, embrace the camping/glamping lifestyle, and prefer to save (more than) a few bucks then this is your jam. The bed was comfortable and I slept like a rock each of my three nights. The outdoor shower is a cool feature, and the property owner is super chill. 🤙🏽

3 nights at Sacred Mauna Fern Forest Retreat

Clean cabin, helpful and responsive hosts, very quiet atmosphere. No street noise at all, just birds and rain. There are 2 dogs that can be noisy at times, and can steal your shoes if you leave them outside. Plenty of space inside to store them. Shower wasn’t working when we arrived but was fixed by the second day.

Weekend Trip to Yip Camp and Eco-Retreat Center

This is a special place, accessible, private and well maintained. The yip cottage with a hot shower is fun and well appointed. Even with other campers on site there was plenty of room and privacy. The cool night temperatures made it restful. Mahalo, Tom for the great conversations and hosting. I enjoyed the stay!

Absolutely blew us away. We could see the allure from the photos and posting, upon arriving it was absolutely perfect. She provided a lot of amenities for anyone that would be there, the bathroom was excellent, and the fire pit provided made the nights even better. We will be back without question and cannot wait!

Weekend Trip to Wild Blue Water Ranch

It was a great place to spend the night in our camper. The kids loved the pool and the hot tub was nice as it was windy and chilly. Shawn was helpful and we enjoyed fresh bananas, grapefruit and lemons grown on the property.

We had a great time at Blaze's Hipcamp!! The property is beautiful! We really enjoyed sitting along the cliff and watching the waves, the warm shower, flushing toilet, and the hot tub. We we were originally booked for one night, but added a second when our plans changed, and we were so glad did. Highly recommend and we hope to return if we are ever back on the island.

3 nights at Wild Blue Water Ranch

Camping at Blaze’s site was an awesome experience. We 100% recommend his place and would love to come stay here again. The bathroom was clean, the campsite was super cozy, the dogs were so friendly and loving, the pool and hot tub area was incredibly relaxing, and the viewpoint on the cliff overlooking the water was absolutely breathtaking. We had some issues with our rooftop tent camper that we rented through a separate company. Let me be clear, the camper that we rented is in no way associated with Blaze and his property. We booked the camper through a separate company which unfortunately did not provide the service we were hoping for, to say the least. However, Blaze’s brother, Shawn helped us in every way he could to alleviate some of the issues that arose from that experience. We are beyond grateful for his help. Our experience with Blaze’s campsite was absolutely wonderful. We wished we could’ve stayed longer, but we look forward to coming back. If you want a great place to camp on Big Island, look no further.

1 night at Hamakua Guesthouse

It was a very peaceful stay, even though the property was fairly full it was quiet and minimal traffic. I really appreciated the detailed directions Matthew provided in the booking confirmation - follow them and it’s very clear. It took a few minutes to locate someone to check me in (since its not self check in, but there is no desk just a message board) but phone reception was better than many places in the island and they also provided a WiFi password on the back porch. I was a little disappointed that the hammocks are only hammock stands (i had a cabana in the past where the hammocks were able to be tied to the support posts diagonally across the room, but here the beam did not seem sturdy enough to bear weight). However, apart from that, it was a very solid, well-built, and cozy glamping style place. Perfect for its proximity to Akaka falls (go very early in the morning when they first open, that was very tranquil, forty five minutes later as I was leaving the falls were overrun.)

3 nights at Hibiscus Oasis

Glory and Tina were kind and welcoming hosts. Their property is beautiful, secluded, and great for either tent or RV/pop-up camper setups. The amenities are a little rustic, so just know that going into the trip; that said, Glory and Tina left a great setup for us that helped us enjoy our stay. Tina even brought fresh eggs and apple bananas! Definitely recommend for those wanting a simple, safe, and beautiful place to unplug and relax.

Incredible property. Blaze and Shawn were great, giving us a tour of the property. Really enjoyed our time here. It was amazing to have the pool, hot tub, ocean views and indoor bath and shower while camping. I wish the weather could have been better but it was a 5 star location and host.

Weekend Trip to Wild Blue Water Ranch

Since the beaches all closed from the storm this was a nice retreat. The land was beautiful & well kept. We enjoyed staying in the van. Beautiful pool and view for watching whales. The bathroom was clean, but they were inside the house. It felt wierd going in there with dogs. But the dogs & everyone were friendly. I will recommend to our friends & return. Thanks for having us!

The cabana was nice. Sleeping in a hammock is not for everyone but if you can do it, this is a great place to stay. The common ameneties were great and the staff on the property were exceptional. The waterfall was also very nice. Would definitely go back in the future.

Our 2 night stay at Yip Camp Eco Retreat was perfect. Close to Volcano Natl Park for a full day of exploring the craters, lava tubes, ocean road vistas. Site was private with toilet and shower available. Tom was a helpful, affable host. Would definitely stay again. .

Nice rural property. Thomas the host is a very nice accommodating guy. He kindly offered his larger tent with good rain protection to the person in my party who only had a small backpacking tent that was already wet from rain the day before. Rustic place but fine. Only a few miles from Volcano National Park.

Thomas is a wonderful host. I booked a site on his land rather urgently after finding out that the National Park was closed. He’s only a 20 minute drive from there, so I was able to get up and go the next day. He’s very friendly, welcoming, and engaging. If you’re looking for a place to stay in the area, I can’t recommend this site enough. Thank you.

1 night at Moon Garden Getaway

We’ve stayed at many camps and Mae’s is easily the most beautiful, welcoming and well maintained camp I’ve possibly ever stayed at. She has thought of everything, from solar lights on the shelters to tankless water heaters in the clean, inviting showers - chairs, tables, firepit, grill, and trash can at each site, coffee station on her open patio, the best four-legged greeter I e ever encountered. As a campground host myself, I’m confident in saying Mae’s Moon Garden camp is the most spectacular place I’ve ever camped. If you’re looking for camping on the island, Moon Farm Garden is a must stay, even with a glamping cabin to open shortly. The friendly, well kept, comfortable environment is ideal for families, couples, singletons or just a pal’s getaway. Mae has thought of everything and works hard to ensure her guests are comfortable, safe and happy. Now I host an Airbnb but this is where I’ll send anyone who asks including my own family. If you want an amazing camping experience in Hawaii, Mae’s place at Moon Garden Farm raises the bar for all other campgrounds. This place is the best and meets every need imaginable. Thank you Mae and Nobbs for an unforgettable weekend! 💙🤙🏼

We had a great stay!! Blaze was an excellent host and the land was beautiful and well kept! The shower and bathroom were clean and well tended to. We had a lovely morning watching the waves from the overlook and a relaxing evening by the pool and in the hot tub watching the sunset. Would stay again!
