Absolutely amazing and out of the world experience with inspiring and beautiful human being - Justine. Loved the space, the food and got elevated vibrations in this beautiful piece of land. I definitely recommend staying here for a couple of night to feel the energy of this island, hear a personal story of following the dream and being true to oneself, connecting with nature and embracing the love of mother Gaia.

Our experience with Justine was great. She was a very kind and sweet host who provided clear instructions and helpful recommendations.
Our experience with the campsite, however, wasn’t the best. Although the campsite itself was quite charming, it seemed like the common areas hadn’t been cleaned in a while. All of the kitchen appliances were exposed to the elements, and they looked weathered. We didn’t feel comfortable using them without giving them a deep clean first, and unfortunately, we didn’t have time for that. When we mentioned this to Justine, she was very understanding and kindly offered us hot water from her own kitchen, but we didn’t want to bother her and were short on time.
The peat moss for covering our #2 waste was stored in a large garbage bin that wasn’t weatherproof. Because it rained overnight, the moss became soaking wet and unusable. There also wasn’t much left in the bin—only about halfway full—so it was hard to reach and scoop out.
We camped in tents on a small hill. Since the property is located in a tropical forest, be prepared for large bugs. They’re definitely around, and of course, that’s not something the host can control.
We truly appreciated how responsive and helpful Justine was with our requests. I’m confident she would have addressed the issues if we had stayed longer and had the chance to give her more detailed feedback.

Justine’s camp is beautiful!! Well stocked kitchen, outhouse and hot water shower!! I appreciated being a bit out of town as you get to wake up with the birds. Not a far drive from hilo and just down the road is a beautiful cliff spot. Justine is a kind and generous host. She gave great suggestions on best places to eat and farmers markets to see. Honestly just let her know what you hope to see and she'll help make it a reality!

Overall we had a great experience, host was very nice. Unfortunately the campsite was near a lot of traffic. You could hear the neighbors and cars at night. Didn’t feel as private as we were expecting.

We had a really lovely experience at Justine’s labor of love Hipcamp. She’s an excellent hostess. The tiny cabin was perfect, and it was very cool to walk the grounds and see all that was growing - oranges, bananas, avocados, coconuts, sugar cane…The view of the stars at night was amazing. Also, Justine is a wonderful chef. The meals she made were fantastic. Very highly recommend!

Justine was an excellent host. The space is wonderful and cute, and the dinner add on was incredible. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an escape from the typical tourism on the islands and itching for a Farm to table escape with a bit of camping fun.

Really lovely site You can hear the frog and the sounds of the forest in the night. Outdoor kitchen with a propane grill and a stove burner. The toilet is off grid And there’s an outdoor Hot water shower. We arrived kind of late, but Justine was flexible with our arrival. We got a dozen eggs and they were delicious!

Justine has created a tranquil space that is very welcoming. She was helpful in figuring out where I could park my camper van and didn’t mind that I would be coming in late after an awesome tour to the top of Mauna Kea. I highly recommend staying at Justine’s little spot of paradise!

Our group of 4 stayed at both the dome and the tiny home. We had a wonderful time and fell asleep to the sounds of the forest each night. The shower was wonderful as well. We did the farm to table dinner and breakfast option and both were incredible! Could not recommend the food enough.
The location was a perfect jumping off point to get to Hilo and Volcanoes National Park. Justine had great recommendations as well for things to do/restaurants in the area.

Justine was such a great host. So attentive and caring. Always checking to make sure we had everything we needed and were taken care of. She helped us out when we had any questions or needed any recommendations for things to do. The cabin was very cozy, very clean, and I felt very safe here! Justine’s food was also amazing, so I highly recommend trying one of her fresh home cooked meals!!

Fantastic place, easy to find and lots of amenities! Justine was helpful and quick to respond. The sounds of the forest at night were incredible. Only tent camped for one night but hope to visit again for the full experience sometime time soon.

Authentic realistic camping, my son and I had a great experience. Justine greeted us as we entered the gate, a walk through intro and let us set up camp & the safe experience of that part of the island was spot on. The sounds of that forest really awakens your ancestral genes haha. Hot shower outdoors was a winner and still keeping the camp feel. She has created a nice flowing system as she’s still creating more to it, I would def learn more of her logic. Loved the chickens, ducks, plant variations! We’ll be back for her cooking and stories !

Justine is INCREDIBLY warm and inviting. Her hospitality is generous. There permaculture farm she has cultivated is inspiring for those interested in learning how to live off the land.
The space we rented was cozy and cute. I’d HIGHLY RECOMMEND coming prepared with a headlamp for nighttime bathroom runs.
If you’ve mastered the art of scrambled eggs, buy a dozen ultra fresh eggs from her and her chickens and prepare them in the outdoor kitchen she’s set up.

Justine is the most warm and loving host, I can't say enough great things about my experience. Her property is so lush and inviting, the dome is a sanctuary of escape and her food is absolutely delicious! She taught me how to make pasta, crack open coconuts, as well as taught me all about her sustainable farm to table process. So many of her ingredients are grown right right on the property, it's a beautiful and sustainable way to live and experience Hawaii. I can't wait to return!
Thank you for everything!

Chickens, a dog, a friendly host and the unique proprty layout made this our kids' favourite spot on our camping trip. Good spot to stop if you plan to explore the southeast parts of the island. 👍

We’ve stayed at a lot of hipcamps and I can confidently say this was one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. The property was stunning, the cabin was perfect for our needs, we had all the amenities we could ask for and our host was phenomenal. Justine went out of her way over and over again to make us feel welcome and provide us with an unforgettable experience. She cooked us one of the best farm to table breakfasts I’ve ever had, continuously brought us freshly picked fruit from the property, gave us a tour of her farm and gave us all her best local recommendations. We’re already planning our next visit. If you have any hesitation of booking a stay here, this is your sign to do it! You won’t regret it.

We loved camping at Justine’s home. The land is beautiful and full of life. The directions to get to her place were very clear! We purchased a breakfast for one of the mornings and we LOVED it. Super worth it! Justine shared lots of knowledge about spots to visit on the big island. She also had a bonfire one of the evenings, we were able to cook some food on the fire. Would recommend! Only downside were the mosquitoes, this is where we got bit the most on all the island so bring your mosquito spray! Justine provided spray as well, amongst lots of other amenities
