Mae is an amazing and super friendly host. We had coffee every morning and bonded over our K-drama obsession. Really appreciated her helping me pull my car out of a low spot. The place is beautiful and peaceful. Definitely recommended.

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!

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!

My fiancé and I were very fortunate to instant book with Mae at her Moon Garden Farm midday. She's not only kind, but generous with sharing some of her tangerines with us! 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!

The kids loved fishing and we all appreciate the time Mae spent with us showing us how. Making Fire was so easy- really appreciate the option to buy wood and the little charcoal grill (provided). Mahalo Mae, we’ll be back with friends before too long!

We loved camping at Mea s land. She is super friendly and shows the best hospitality you could thing of. There land is beautiful, very natural grass, well maintained, there are several game options like volleyball, tetherball, Frisbee golf,... And you can also feed farm animals or fish. Mea provides towels and plenty of basic stuff so useful for camping. It is an absolutely safe and secure area. We will certainly come back and I highly recommend you get a booking while the place is available.

We loved camping at Mae's Moon Garden! The location was clean with full bathroom facilities right next to the campground area. There was a nice tent area to hang out in. My girls had the best time, roasting marshmallows by the fire pit and using the camp gas grill to make dinner and breakfast the next morning. Most importantly, we felt safe! With just us females camping out, we felt so safe and secure to have fun and be ourselves. Thank you Mae! 10/10 would recommend and stay again!

We loved camping at Mae’s farm. Bathroom and shower super clean. A calm and relaxed feeling about the property and our kids loved playing in the space provided. Close to Volcano NP. We loved staying at Mae’s place.

My husband and I loved camping at Maes! The directions were very clear and the site was easy to find, we arrived after dark too. When we woke up in the morning it was like we had been transported to a little wildlife sanctuary. There was birds and other insects chirping, a beautiful sunrise and everything felt so calm. The bathroom and shower is very clean. We wish we had time to stay more than one night.

Mae's campsite is absolutely wonderful! The space and the amenities make for a comfortable stay. Mae was very responsive and gave us a lot of helpful volcano siting information. She was very flexible with our checking in and out and we even got to meet her sweet dog!

Moon Garden Farm is a magical place. We stayed there couple nights with our kids and had a lovely time. Everything we needed or might wish for while camping was provided. Our kids had so much fun, that they didn't wanted to leave. We will defenetly stay there again and for longer, next time we are in the area.
We also had a pleasure to meet Mae and her daughter. It was lovely to talk to and get to know them. Thank for sharing this amazing peace of paradise.

This Hipcamp is a gem!!! We stayed here with our kids and loved it - Mae creates an atmosphere you just feel at home! There are so many thoughtful details, starting from the balls and fishing toys for the kids, along the beautiful flowered wall, the sheltering tent to the sink you even love to do the dishes :)
It was our favourite place on Hawaii!!🌺

Perfect secluded hideaway that is close to Volcanoes. Mae is a wonderful host with a great setup. Just 2 sites so very peaceful and quiet. Loved it so much we stayed an extra night.

I don’t think I could recommend Moon Garden Farms and Mae enough. Truly a surreal experience and we could not have thanked Mae enough. When we arrived, we were greeted by the friendliest dog, Nubs! Mae has such a great set up for camping, enjoying the sunshine and cleaning up afterwards. There are quite a lot of nature sounds, but we found them to be comforting. We also had a little oops and got ourselves stuck and Mae came to our rescue and helped us get unstuck. Truly a magical time and we will be recommended Moon Garden Farm to everyone. Thank you Mae!!!!!!

My family loved our quiet camping experience on Mae’s farm. Our three kids were sad to leave and look forward to camping here again. Fishing in the ponds was a highlight for the kids and the secluded spot was a highlight for the grownups.
Mae is a wonderful host and very generous with her time and the amenities she provides. Her farm is conveniently located between Hilo and Volcano for access to the best of both areas.
Her dog Nobs is as wonderful a host as Mae is. Our dog loved playing with him and we loved how sweet and gentle he was.
