As all the land here is born of lava, many moons ago this land began to host plants and critters. Long after, it was sculpted and a number of families and farmers have contributed to what we have today. An abundance of fruit and vegetables within sight of the ocean. Peaceful breezes and warming sun make for unparalleled tranquility. Today the land still gives back to its visitors.
Come recharge.
As this is agricultural lands, there are many critters. Dogs, chickens, pheasants, peacock, mongoose, and many birds. Tge invasive coqui frog is annoying to some and calming to others.
The micro climate here swings from warm and dry to wet quickly. Best to always prepare for rain.
There is snorkeling, beaches, local food, Cafe, BBQ, poke, fish-n-chips, grocery, Sunday farmers market and hiking nearby.
It is peaceful here, but also an active farming community.
As an organic farm, we put alot of effort into soil building and as such, there are soft places that will be damaged by the weight of a vehicle. Staying on the driveway is best. We will guide you to where you need to go.
Our road is paved, but bumpy. Any vehicle will make it without damage if driven slowly. 1 to 4mph tops. *Be sure to avoid the camper rental companies that restrict certain roads.
Aloha and have a great day.

Welcome to our extraordinary off-grid retreat on the Big Island of Hawaii—featured on Discovery Channel’s Homestead Rescue: Between Two Volcanoes. Nestled between Mauna Loa and Kīlauea in the Kaʻū District, our 100-acre working farm offers guests a one-of-a-kind experience in nature, culture, and adventure.
Just 10 minutes from Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park and a short drive from Punaluʻu Black Sand Beach, this location is a dream for explorers, stargazers, and nature lovers. Whether you're looking for solitude, eco-tourism, wellness, digital detox, or an enriching family getaway, this is the place!
Step outside and you’re immersed in a living classroom of native flora, lava tubes, fruit orchards, and starlit skies. Wander trails through macnut groves, sip fresh coconut water under the monkeypod tree, or pick fruit straight from the trees—mango, banana, lilikoi, citrus, and more. Kids love the three-level treehouse, and families enjoy meeting our friendly farm animals: horses, cows, and farm dogs.
At night, the Kaʻū Desert transforms into one of the darkest skies in the world. With no city lights for miles, stargazing is beyond incredible. Lay back with a blanket and marvel at the Milky Way, constellations, and even passing satellites or meteor showers.
Our farm is rooted in Hawaiian values of sustainability, ʻohana (family), and aloha ʻāina (love for the land). We're happy to offer an optional guided farm tour or share stories about off-grid living and the volcanic history of the land. Guests leave not only rested, but deeply connected to the land and local culture.
Please note: we are truly off the beaten path—no streetlights, no traffic, and no tourists. The final stretch of road is unpaved and best suited for SUVs

Wild Webs Camp – Off-Grid Retreat Near the Volcano
Welcome to Wild Webs Camp, a quiet, off-grid camping retreat set in the lush landscape near Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. This is a place to slow down, unplug, and experience something rare: the process of creating large-scale, hand-woven net structures in nature.
Our land is home to Wild Webs—custom, hand-woven net installations crafted slowly and intentionally. These webs are designed as lounging and resting spaces, woven into the environment to complement the land rather than dominate it. Guests are invited to relax nearby, watch the weaving process unfold, and enjoy the calm rhythm of hands-on craftsmanship in the forest.
This is not a finished resort or a high-traffic attraction. Wild Webs Camp is evolving, and part of its charm is witnessing something being built over time. You may see us measuring, knotting, tensioning, and shaping the webs as the days pass—an experience that many guests find grounding, meditative, and inspiring.
Surrounded by native forest, lava rock, and the powerful presence of the nearby volcano, the camp offers deep quiet, dark skies, and a strong connection to the elements. Vog, mist, rain, and shifting weather are part of life here and add to the raw beauty of the experience.
This is a rustic, off-grid stay. No hookups, minimal infrastructure, and a strong emphasis on personal responsibility and respect for the land. Bring what you need, move slowly, and enjoy the simplicity.
Please note:
• Wild Webs are intended for lounging and visual experience only, not active play
• Children must be supervised at all times
• This is a working, creative space—expect authenticity, not polish
Perfect for nature lovers, creatives, couples, and families who appreciate quiet moments, craftsmanship, and being close to something truly unique.
Come rest, observe, and experience the art of building in the wild 🌿

I was looking for a quiet spot to do Tai chi as the sun was rising then finish my book. This spot was perfect, with a georgeous view, permaculture vibe and a small pavilion to chill in. A nice breeze was blowing thru the evening and the sound of the cane grass and banana tree leaves is a memory ill carry for a long time.
I even came back a few nights later and used this as base camp before a great hike in the Kau desert which was on my hike list for a long time.
I highly recomend this spot for anyone looking for peice and quite.

The meadow is soft for sleeping on and in the morning we could see the ocean in the distance. Lots of different plants and trees including a big tree that smells like cinnamon and sounds like a rain stick when the breeze blows. It is a long bumpy road but Colin will give good directions. There is a grocery store mall not far away for supplies (and rest rooms)

As per other reviews, this place is great. Peaceful and quiet. There were some wild pigs rummaging about at night but they weren't too disturbing and when we caught sight of them in the day we were excited to see them. The porta potty was fine. The campsites flat. Good all around.

Collin and his wife are living in a really nice place. There was a kind of jungle feeling up in the hills. The road is fine to drive, just drive slow and enjoy the nice plants.
The toilet is nothing for picky girls but was near the ground. Go at night and your fine 😉

We reserved a camping spot and arrived with almost no notice. Even though he was not there, Brian was very helpful when we contacted him by phone and managed to get us in and direct us to our camping (RV) spot. We was super informative about the farm and the region.
This was definitely the most beautiful place we stayed on the island.
