The place is considerably more weathered than it appears in the photos, but it's unique and I'm glad we stayed there. The orchids are beautiful and the animals that roam the grounds are friendly and sweet. The lava tube, while a little tricky to access because of overgrowth at the entrance, is incredibly cool. Pahoa has a few nice restaurants to choose from and the lava tree molds park a few minutes down the road was a cool little walk. George was reliable with communication

Really cool community farm! Got a wonderful tour of the property and orchid greenhouses by Jess when I arrived. There are two bathroom and two shower situations which were also very helpful. Definitely a nice place to rest

Une tarp solide protège l'emplacement de campement et la table à pique-nique. Même si la météo était très pluvieuse et venteuse, nous avons très bien dormi. Les installations sont super et George est fort sympathique et accueillant. Merci pour tout!

A Great Place To Stay
Tent
While we had no direct interaction with our host, one of the other tenants greeted us and showed us the ropes. There are no great camping views, but the bathrooms were clean, kitchen area convenient, and a shower is always nice. Plus we are orchid geeks, so really enjoyed walking through all the tents and seeing the variety of plants. We would 100% stay here again on another visit, but it looks like the proprietor might be moving away from hosting campers.

Lots of flora and fauna to enjoy! Site 4 was fairly private and had a sink, table and toilet shower. Friendly folks living/ working there. Was a peaceful spot for our little family for the night.

Beautiful farm campsite!
Tent
I loved staying at Campsite #4! There's a shelter above you, plus a picnic table and a chair on the site. The property has 2 toilets and 2 showers, and an open air kitchen. The property has lots of flowers and fruit trees, as well as the orchids. There is also a resident dog and a few cats. The animals are all awesome. The people are good too, especially the owner, George. Town is about a mile down the road, so it's off the beaten path but still convenient.

Nice place to stay on Big Island
Tent
Nice and quiet place. In the kitchen you have everything to cook. The tent site was covered so in case of rain you are dry and safe. There is also a drinking water from the tap which is advantage. We love the dog and cats there. 😊

A charming place. We were welcome to site warmly by Dwayne who has shown us everything, offered fresh fruit and veggies, chatted. We were grateful for a canopy over our tents as it was raining in the night and one of our tents wasn’t waterproof. The farm was cool to see, with orchids and other plants. Friendly dog and cats on site. Hot shower and well made, user friendly outhouse. We will definitely remember this place for our future visits to Big Island. Thank you George and Dwayne.

Calm nice camping near Pahoa
Tent
Amazing place for camping! Calm, rural, with nice people, and George is amazing. Nearby Pahoa is a very nice village that has kept a century old feeling. This was the second time being there, and we are going to come back if we visit the island again.

A beautiful camping experience
Tent
Our group stayed a night at George’s beautiful orchid farm with tons of vegetation, gorgeous plants, a beautiful climate, and a nice little set up that had just enough convenience and efficiency for our brief day. George was an excellent hospitable host that made us feel welcomed and gave us a tour of his, amazing farm. This was one of the coolest camping experiences I have ever had you can tell he’s very passionate about the farm. We are grateful that they had a entire tarp system that protected us from the light rain that happened in the middle of the night would definitely stay here again, looking forward to returning. Thank you, George, you and everyone at the farm were very welcoming.

If you’re exploring the Hilo side of Big Island, and you brought your camping gear, then I recommend this spot. The covered spot is great!
