Located on 6 acres of Hawaiian rainforest, lay under a blanket of stars by the campfire. Enjoy the peace and tranquility of camping on a property with beautiful views of Mauna Kea AND Mauna Loa!!! At 2,500 feet above sea level, you are in the clouds. Surrounded by natural Ohia forest and Uluhe fern, experience the tranquil sounds of rain and coqui frogs. Just a 15 minute drive away from the active, flowing Kilauea Volcano in Hawai'i Volcano National Park and endless beautiful hikes. Check out Volcano gas stations deli subs! Yum! less than 5 minutes to nearest local convenience store, 15 to the nearest local grocer and delicious restaurant Dimple cheek A short 20 minute drive to the nearest shopping center at Keaau where there is a DIY store, Grocery, pharmacy, and local farmers produce stands. 40 Minutes to reach Hilo, and Pahoa. 1 hour to jump off the End of the World at Southpoint 2 hrs from Kona Airport as well as the small town of Hawi in the North of the island

      Camping with Amenities in The Fern
      The campsite is nice. Rain, Elaine and Eric are really friendly. In addition, the location is close to the volcanos

      Camping with Amenities in The Fern
      I very much enjoyed my brief stay here (one night). If you are looking for an authentic and super raw off the grid living experience that will transform your perspective on how to live; this is your place :) If you're looking for a clean modern bathroom and shower like on a public campground; this is definitely not for you. They make no apologies about that and I think it's rad. The host and tenants were incredibly welcoming, generous, accommodating, and good hearted. It was incredible to witness their resourcefulness and feel their energy of excitement in bringing their projects to life. I left feeling very inspired, grateful, and contemplating what I truly value in life. It's an stark contrast to a fancy hotel but there's something special here that none of those places have ever touched. Thanks again for having me as your guest and sharing some time with me. Mahalo 💛

      Glamping+Tiny House On Wheels
      What a gem, my family's first ever stay in a Tiny House. It felt cozy yet spacious for my wife and 2 kids. Rain, our wonderful hostess, provided extra bedding and a cot for the kids. My wife and I were quite comfortable in the upstairs loft. The fully stocked kitchen allowed us to do some cooking. The location is conveniently located close to Volcano National Park and not too far from shopping. The property has a trampoline for the kids, a hammock and walking paths through the forest. The sunrise in the morning is awesome. The tiny home inside feels luxurious yet simple and uncluttered. The property is off-grid yet there is fast internet that allowed me to get my work done on the laptop. The outside shower had plenty of hot water. Definitely "glamping". We have been watching the Tiny Home shows on YouTube and finally got to stay in one! Highly recommended.
