Staying at the Sun Farm was great! We camped at multiple spots around the island, and they had the most hostel feel to it! The charging options on site with a fridge was perfect for our last night before leaving, as we we were able to have things available to use the next day. Hot water in the showers and our site was right next to the office. We were able to participate in the Sun Farm tour and we HIGHLY recommend! If we visit the Sun Farm again we would like to explore their cabin/tent options for sure!

Camp Host Marcos is a great guy who’s willing to do what it takes to make everyone feel comfortable. He took the time to get to know a little about me and went outside the normal SOP to accommodate me instead of sending me away. The grounds are well kept and gives the feel as though you’re camping in the middle of a jungle. Thanks Marcos for the stay in lieu of me being a little out of sorts.

Camping on the farm was a delightful experience! Would highly recommend. All the extra amenities (hot shower, bathrooms, outdoor kitchen) made our experience so much nicer. It was an excellent place to meet new people; other campers and volunteers were all so friendly. P.S. Waimea their puppy dog was an absolute sweetheart.

A lovely site with great staff and amenities. There’s a full kitchen which was really nice and 2 hot showers, also fantastic. Easy to find. I stayed in a campervan and you’re a bit close to other tent campers but that’s pretty clear prior to booking. Good location near Koko head and the city if you’re into that.

Very cool farm with fresh produce, goats, and chickens. Volunteers were kind and knowledgeable, and it was wonderful being amongst all the trees. Other campers were respectful as well, and there's a farmer's market nearby on Tuesdays! Will happily return.

The cutest lil spot ever! It is so beautiful, and we really enjoyed walking through the gardens and the communal kitchen. 11/10 recommend this spot.
The only thing that was a slightly bothersome, is if you come here in a camper van, you really don't have much privacy around your site.

Nous avons eu un extrêmement beau séjour à Sun Farm, c’est une très belle femme avec énormément de produits de différentes sortes qui poussent dans les arbres, l’endroit où nous avons camper était spacieux et il y avait deux cuisines que nous pouvions utiliser pour faire cuire nos aliments. La toilette était propre et bien aménagé. Vraiment ce fut un beau séjour.

Nice secluded tent spot on grounds near cabins. Chickens and turkeys roamed nearby. Warm showers, drinking water, flushing toilets, trash receptacles and close parking all a bonus over many other camping options in Maui.

I absolutely love this Farm! It has all the components of glamping. Everything is well taken care of and the energy of the people there in bodies the aloha. I live in Hawaii and I would come back here to camp any day.

The Sun Farm was really lovely. Very well located closed to Honolulu and on the way to the east coast and north of the island.
This place was full of life and had everything we needed.

4 nights at Sun Farm Hawaii @ Koko Head
The Farm had everything to enjoy Hawaii. It is definitely camping. I would not call this glamping as you do have crows throughout the night lol still enjoyable still fun. Def bring earplugs. Use the prettier shower as the water def stayed warmer way longer. I didn’t get to interact as much as I thought I would with other visitors. Also I traveled alone and felt very safe and I think that’s more than you can ask for.

Overview
About
Once it was almost impossible to get to this isolated peninsula, which was the home of Hawaii's notorious leper colony. Even now, you can't drive to this national historical park. You have to fly in, walk in, or—the most fun option—ride in on the back of a mule. Your guide is likely to be a fountain of information. They'll tell you about Father Damien, who founded the colony, and its entire history.
If you choose to hike, be aware that it's a 2,000-foot climb and a fairly steep trail. (Some people hike down and fly out.) Plan on two hours to get all the way down and another three to hike out. Keep your eyes open for wildlife—mule deer and boars on the land, and spinner dolphins in the bay.
Visit the church Father Damien founded, the school that Sister Marianne founded, and the leper cemetery. The park still has residents in it, even though Hansen's disease (leprosy) is curable. Don't worry—the tour is very respectful to them. You'll get to visit the community in the same condition it was for more than 100 years when the patients were here.
Camping is limited on the island of Molokai, but if you're flying in from Maui, Hipcamp can help you find a campsite that puts you in the middle of Hawaii's natural beauty. Pitch your tent surrounded by a magical forest of palm trees or at the base of a rushing waterfall.
