Hakalau Springs Campground
3 sites · Tents11 acres · Honomu, HI
Come enjoy the magic of your own private waterfall while camping under the stars at Hakalau Springs Campground. Hakalau is located on the North-East side of the Big Island along the breathtaking Hamakua Coast. Surrounded by waterfalls and lush, green tropical flora, Hakalau is a hidden gem. It’s the perfect jumping off point for all things east side. Hilo town is 30 minutes south and Waipio Valley Lookout is 45 minutes North. The world-famous Akaka Falls is one neighborhood over in the quaint town of Honomu which hosts some wonderful gift shops, 2 restaurants, and a coffee house. 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.

Waterfall And Cave Cabin
2 sites · Lodging4 acres · Laupahoehoe, HI
Experience the peace and healing of a full nature immersion at our off-grid bungalow, surrounded by the beautiful jungle. Enjoy private access to a river beach and swimming spot, complete with caves to explore, rocks to jump off, and further downstream, a breathtaking 100+ foot waterfall cascading into the ocean.
The bathroom, equipped with hot water, is just a short stroll from the cabin. Access down to the river, located 15 yards below, is facilitated by ropes and rock stairs, making it one of the easier streams to reach on the island.
The location is ideal, situated only an hour from the world-renowned Hapuna Beach, 35 minutes from Waipio Valley, and just 25 minutes from Hilo. Additionally, it's even closer to many beautiful attractions up and down the Hamakua Coast. Nevertheless, many guests find that simply staying on the property and relishing the peace and tranquility of the space provides a truly restorative vacation experience.
This place is perfect for nature-loving couples or solo travelers seeking a secluded retreat.
Important to Note: Please refrain from bringing heavy luggage, and if you have any physical injuries or conditions that may make traversing stairs and uneven terrain difficult, this may not be the ideal location for you. Access to the bungalow is via a jungle path, which is uneven and requires a bit of a distance from the parking area. A rental car is necessary, as the property is approximately 25-30 minutes north of Hilo, and public transportation/taxi service is very limited on the island. There is limited cell phone service (though good wifi) at the property entrance, so it's essential to arrange arrival time and check-in with the property hosts ahead of time. Arrival well before dark is recommended, as navigating in the jungle becomes challenging after sunset. Thank you for your understanding.

We are a small 5 acre farmstead located on the beautiful Hamakua Coast. Our farm is home to a variety of animals and boasts numerous fruit trees. One of our proudest offerings is our free range chickens produce high-quality eggs. You can purchase these delicious eggs right here at the farm to enjoy for your breakfast.
In addition to our chicken operation, we are also proud coffee producers. Our coffee is carefully grown and harvested on-site, ensuring a rich and flavorful cup every time. But coffee isn't the only thing we grow here. Our farm is also home to a diverse selection of fruit trees, including Jack fruit, Lychee, Longans, Avocados, Bananas, and Tangerines.
When you visit our farm, you'll have the opportunity to relax and unwind in our main hangout Pavilion. This cozy space is the perfect spot to rest, soak in the peaceful surroundings, and truly appreciate the beauty of the farm. However, it's important to note that the Hamakua Coast is known for its lively rooster population. So, while you'll have a serene and tranquil environment during the day, be prepared for the sounds of roosters greeting the morning.
One of the highlights of our farm is the stunning waterfall located near the property. Guests are welcome to hike down to this natural wonder and take a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear swimming holes. It's an experience you won't want to miss.
For your convenience, we offer an outdoor shower and a flushing toilet for our campers. We understand that comfort and cleanliness are important, even when enjoying the great outdoors.
Thank you for considering a visit to our farmstead. We are excited to have the opportunity to host you and share the beauty and bounty of our farm with you.
