We are a 5th generation family farm on the slopes of Haleakala, just a 3 mile drive up from historic Makawao town. Our great grandfather purchased a 40 acre ranch in 1957 as his retirement, homestead dream. With rolling hills of pastures, our farm is the ideal location for a secluded camping getaway with ocean views and Maui. Sadly, our property was hit severely by the August 2023 fires caused by downed electric lines. Your support of camping on our family farm helps us recover little by little and help us maintain such a huge responsibility of weeding invasive trees and weeds, along with repairs and fence building after so much loss.

🌺 Off-Grid Ocean Oasis on a Regenerative Maui Farm 🌺 Welcome to our slice of paradise—where the mountains meet the sea, and wild abundance surrounds you.
Tucked away on the lush west side of Maui, our off-grid regenerative orchard is more than a place to sleep—it’s an invitation into real island life. Wake up steps from the ocean in your cozy cabin, nestled among fruit trees and singing birds. Pick your breakfast papaya right off the tree. Watch wild deer wander past as you sip coffee under the mango trees.
🏄♀️ Crave adventure? Grab a kayak, surfboard, or fishing rod and hit the waves.
🥾 Prefer stillness? Hike to sacred petroglyphs or follow the nearby stream—one of the last running freshwater sources on the west side.
🌈 Curious soul? Learn regenerative agriculture from one of Maui’s most experienced land stewards. You’ll see firsthand how we’re rewilding the land and feeding the community.
Back at basecamp, enjoy:
✅ Fast Wi-Fi and communal spaces to connect or chill
✅ BBQ grills and smokers to cook your farm-fresh meals
✅ Night skies full of stars and the sound of the ocean to lull you to sleep

The rainbows were breathtaking, and Nina was so helpful! Nice, clear instructions, and plenty of privacy.

We went in expecting exactly what the description said in hipcamp - very simple and very basic. The views were the best part - lovely westerly view for Sunset. Our last day a rainbow stretched across the whole valley below. Solitude since there is only one site was nice - we had the area to ourselves. We were traveling by campervan (Metris) and fit on the spot well. Our hostess Nina left us be and gave us the gate code ahead of time. Don't expect a "campground" - it is parking space on their family farm with chairs, a great sitting bench and a small fire pit for campfire. We also liked that our fee went to support the family farm. Very quiet and very peaceful. If this all sounds like what you are looking for then book your stay here. We stayed for our last two days in town and it was close to the airport as well.

I really love the serenity and peace here. This beautiful little private spot just out of the way was perfect. I enjoyed coming away from the days adventures to a quiet little area away from it all. The gardens that Nina have here are so cute and brings a sense of calm and beauty. The view would be incredible on a clear day the colours are just breathtaking. Its so gorgeous up there! Highly recommended! Thanks Nina 💗

Great secluded spot with lots of flowers and trees, Nina said we could pick oranges in the morning if they were ripe. Pretty high up on the hill and the view is amazing!

I write this as I book this site for the third time on my Maui travels. Nina’s Hipcamp is not the cheapest on the island but I can say that the lavatory is clean and you have privacy. due to the acreage and fact that there is only one site on the property you don’t get too much noise aside from the birds and deer. You are close to a road but it isn’t traveled frequently, especially in the evenings. the host is kind and communicative, She does run a few programs on her property but they are all held around midday when I was still at the beach so it was never an issue for me.

We booked a last minute reservation for one night in a minivan before heading to Haleakala National Park early next morning. The simple site was perfect for our needs - There was a porta potty and hose. Make sure to park near the concrete barn on the left. We arrived at night and mistakenly went down a steep driveway to the right and had trouble driving back up. Otherwise, the property is nice and easy to find!
