We are a commercial orchid farm starting the homestead 8 years ago. Lava caused us to evacuate 2 years ago before it stopped a mile above the farm and Malama Market. We have a lava tube on the property you can explore. It’s so tall in some places, you can drive a school bus through. Good to bring headlamps if you're interested in this and just for walking around the farm when there is no moon! We are currently constructing a wood fired pizza oven in the place where our picnic tables and eating area are located. Pitch your tent or stay in one of our rooms or junglelows in the middle of our orchid nursery. We have outdoor kitchen, hot showers and flushing toilets. Located in the heart of Puna in the country but only 10 min walk to the village of Pahoa. This area has a lot to offer including tide pools, black sand beaches, warm spring and sauna caves.

Super chill spot. Our spot had a canopy over it to protect from rain. Dogs and cats are fun to chill with.

Calm nice camping near Pahoa
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
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.
