Kulanaokuaiki Campground

8 sites · RVs, Tents In Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park

I'm shooting east from site number 9 at 10:30p. Camping at Namakanipaio costs $20 per night $15 if you already have a Volcano's park pass. These sites get less costal moisture at night than camping in the national park and are 3 miles from the park entrance.

3 nights at Hawaiian Retreat

It was rustic and a beautiful. We enjoyed learning a out the fruit trees and edible plants.

1 night at Arnott's Lodge

Our 3rd time here and we LOVE Arnott’s! We have stayed here in a camper van all 3 times and it’s just such a relaxing stop after what really feels like roughing it at the previous two spots (Ho’okena and Volcano). Walking distance to a fun snorkeling spot and warm showers and a great lanai kitchen. I was in big trouble with our 9 year old for not booking on a Friday this time because of game night but there is always next year!

2 nights at @FarmToTableHawaii

Absolutely amazing and out of the world experience with inspiring and beautiful human being - Justine. Loved the space, the food and got elevated vibrations in this beautiful piece of land. I definitely recommend staying here for a couple of night to feel the energy of this island, hear a personal story of following the dream and being true to oneself, connecting with nature and embracing the love of mother Gaia.

1 night at Roadside Fruit Stand Exotic Orchard

Nice and tidy spot in a quiet part of the island, the fruit was delicious!

Weekend Trip to Yip Camp and Eco-Retreat Center

We stayed in a camper van at Yipcamp and we had such a good time! Thomas has beautiful property in a location that is very close to volcanoes! I would definitely go again :)

Weekend Trip to IO's NEST LOOKOUT on the Hamakua

I love the view from the deck it so captivating I sat there for hours with a hot cup of coffee . The property is well maintained and full of lush . Krystle was very welcoming and pleasant. Even the kids on the property was very welcoming while catching lizards in the yard … I would definitely stay here again …

2 nights at Hamakua Guesthouse

We stayed two nighs. It was a great experience. They have 4 cats. Nice kitchen and bathroom.

2 nights at Hamakua Christmas Tree Forest

This was such an enchanting stay! Nancy and Richard are lovely people and were most accommodating. I highly recommend if you are visiting the Island or are simply looking for a peaceful getaway.

3 nights at House of Light Glamping & Bathhouse

Ms joy property is beautiful I enjoyed my stay very peaceful. It was so funny to wake up the rooster each morning. Everyone there I talked to was welcoming.

1 night at Roadside Fruit Stand Exotic Orchard

This Hipcamp was truly charming, as well as the host Rose. She was kind and accommodating to all our requests, very easy to communicate with, and prompt with her responses. We felt welcomed. The campsite was private. The large tent is not sealed, so don't book this accommodation if you are afraid of bugs and frogs. They are there, and there is nothing you can do about it. We had our own tents, so we slept in them, however, Rose's tent with a kitchen was an amazing base, and it was as clean as possible. We hang out there in the evening on the bed, and even though the bugs made their way in, they weren't interested in us sitting on the bed, so I assume you'd be fine during the night too. The bullfrogs are very loud but their evening concert is calming. If you prefer sleeping in a quiet environment, grab yourself some earplugs. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this campspot. It was one of the best Hipcamps we've been to.

4 nights at Yip Camp and Eco-Retreat Center

Loved the secluded spot and easy access to Kilauea hiking trails inside Volcano. Thom was awesome and gave us some insight on the area. Super great trip overall and would def come here again. Thanks again Thom rlly appreciate everything!

2 nights at Wild Blue Water Ranch

Blue Water Ranch was our favorite place to stay with our campervan in Hawaii. Easy to find, beautifully maintained. Parking allows ocean views and privacy between campervans. Exquisitely designed bathroom and shower provided. Although the property is oceanfront, there is no immediate access to a beach there, you are situated on a cliff with breathtaking views. The host encourages use of his hot tub and pool, excellent for stretching and stargazing after travel. So quite, peaceful and serene. Definitely a great spot for camping in Hawaii.

1 night at House of Light Glamping & Bathhouse

Joy was an amazing host! She communicated well and was super sweet to talk with. The amenities were very well kept. We really enjoyed our stay!

Weekend Trip to The Tranquil Homestead

Our stay at this "Off Grid" cabin was pure magic. The setting is absolutely stunning—tucked among striking Rainbow Eucalyptus trees that make the entire property feel like a hidden tropical dream. The natural beauty here is unreal, and the peaceful atmosphere made it easy to unwind and disconnect. The cabin itself was spotless, cozy, and perfectly suited for a restful escape. Everything was thoughtfully maintained, and you can tell the hosts care deeply about the space and their guests. Speaking of the hosts—they were incredible! So warm, friendly, and welcoming. Their hospitality truly made our stay even more special. One of the unexpected joys of our visit was spending time with the Muscovy ducks. They were such a delightful part of the experience—full of personality and charm. We loved watching them waddle around the homestead! We honestly wish we could have stayed longer. This place is a true gem, and we’re already dreaming of coming back. Highly, highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to IO's NEST LOOKOUT on the Hamakua

So nice! Great value and set up of amenities! We loved it for so many reasons!

2 nights at The Tranquil Homestead

We had such a beautiful and peaceful stay at The Tranquil Duck! The property is serene, charming, and surrounded by nature—truly the perfect escape. We especially loved the rainbow eucalyptus trees right outside the homestead; they added such a magical touch to the surroundings. Christopher and Esther were incredibly sweet and helpful, going above and beyond to make us feel welcome. They were also so flexible and kind in allowing our pups to stay, who had an amazing time exploring the property and soaking in the fresh air. They even took the time to give us an extensive list of recommendations, which made our trip even more enjoyable and stress-free. We’re already looking forward to coming back and would absolutely love to stay here again. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway!

2 nights at Lava Rock Cabin ~ Off Grid Hale

We had a fantastic time! Sanna showed us how everything worked and gave clear instructions. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils and the shower’s hot water warmed as fast as normal plumbing! We were able to get in and out of the property easily with the locked gate. Overall we had a great time and I would definitely book again.

1 night at Yip Camp and Eco-Retreat Center

It was a great camping there with jungle all around you , nice and peaceful atmosphere there.

1 night at IO's NEST LOOKOUT on the Hamakua

What a magical and private location! Super cozy and comfy for two with all the amenities to be comfortable. If it rains, the large umbrella cover's the entire deck so you can still enjoy the beautiful views.

1 night at Yip Camp and Eco-Retreat Center

My partner and I booked a last minute one night trip from Oahu to Big Island because of Kīlauea’s eruption. Thomas’s spot was very easy to find and extremely close to volcanoes national park. He extended a very warm welcome upon our arrival, even though we got in a bit later than anticipated. He gave us a quick tour of the spot, which was very peaceful and beautiful. While we ended up staying in the park most of the night due to Kīlauea‘s activity, he was extremely accommodating. If ever taking a multi-day trip back to Big Island to explore Hilo side, will definitely stay at his property again!

Faris' Farm

3 sites · Lodging3 acres · Orchidlands Estates, HI

We started our Homestead over 7 years ago on a Level 3 lava zone, knowing it is some of the newest land on the plant. Leaving much of the Natural topography intact, and clearing by hand while introducing many tropical varieties of vegetation to the land has given us a glimpse into nature completely unexpected! We were suggested to open our home last year to people looking for a simple reprieve from weight of the "go-go-go" and have done so with great enjoyment. We hope with hipcamp to be able to reach more people, encouraging the experience in & of biophilia that has brought such tranquility to our lives. Aloha Aina! Learn more about this land: Faris' Forest offers a private & magical get away for your Big Island retreat. We're located on a 3 acre homestead between Volcano National Parks, Historic Pahoa town, and Hilo in a peaceful Ohi'a forest. Our land is home to 100's of plant varieties from exotic fruits like Cacao and Pineapple, to dozens of orchid varieties and other tropical flora. We have worked hand-in-hand with the land to create a biophilic experience in hopes of offering our guests an inspirational and energizing experience The spaceWe started our Homestead over 7 years ago on a lava 3 zone in an O'hia forest. Knowing this is some of the newest land on the planet we have left much of the Natural topography intact while clearing by hand many invasive species and successively planting many tropical, and native varieties of vegetation bringing about this beautiful space. This has given us a glimpse into Nature's hidden biognosis... And what beautiful wisdom it has revealed which we would like to share now with you our guests :) We're conveniently situated between Volcano National Park, Historic Pahoa Village, and Hilo's Port Town. We were suggested by many after our first 5 years here to open our homestead to others looking for a simple reprieve from the weight of the go-go world with hopes that people leave more connected to go with the flow. We hope by welcoming you to our homebase for your Big Island adventures we'll be able to help connect more people to the biophilia that has brought such tranquility to our lives. Aloha Aina!! Your private space is a 20'x10' raised cabin that offers covered outdoor space as well as indoor accommodations. You will find the inside furnished with two full spring mattress bunk beds, a small eating bar overlooking our backyard area with two stool seats, a personal work area with an accommodating cooler for perishables (Please provide ice or we can arrange for block ice from our local general store if desired), and personal clothing storage, as well as wi-fi options. Your private cabin space does have full electricity separate from the commons, but still off grid so please refrain from using strong energy draw items like hair wands or instant heaters, such electrical items are not suited for off-grid electrical systems. Our Common space is open from 7a.m.-10p.m. During this time, you will have full access to a shared kitchen, as well a full bathroom with both an indoor and outdoor shower. The bathroom is available around the clock but after-hours hot water is off so please be aware if you're planning on taking a midnight shower. Please let us know if you need any amenities such as hot water or wi-fi after 10p.m. or before 7a.m. Please make note of these times and being off grid means that we schedules use of high energy items with the daylight hours, and we will set a timer for your convenience of smaller items like internet with advanced notice, otherwise we are very energy efficient in the commons, this is hipcamp, so please don't mistake us for a Hilton :) We are currently home to 4 wonderful dogs that may greet you as you drive up, 3 spectacular cats, 1 mischievous parrots, 3 goats, 12 chickens and 1 rooster. So please know there are animals present than are part of our Ohana. We ask for you to take into consideration that we are a "Working homestead" and we are "Off Grid" so there will be projects much like any farm setting, for this reason we are not suitable for infants or young Children. There are animals that can make noises, there are mulch piles always moving around, compost piles that might not be your cup of tea because they smell, but they certainly make great compost teas to help the flowers grow that smell beautiful right outside your window! There are small projects that may look like clutter, such as seed saving, or canning, but those small clutters grow the plants that fill those jars! On occasion we have people who overlook this reality of nature and our connection to it... possibly because they've seen too many staged reality shows or maybe they have never visited a real farm in person before, but we are grateful that the overwhelming majority of people who have had this attitude have left with an appreciation for nature many expressed they never knew they had!! Those guests have filled our hearts with their kind gratitude :) This is a place full of joyful work for us, so please understand we are a destination for many who love nature, and if you're afraid of dirt or nature in general, this might be a great opportunity to connect with what has always been waiting for you to discover!! Guest accessThe last two blocks into our homestead are rock road as we are a rural location. We will provide a map upon booking with the best access through our Ag-lots for your convenience. Please travel safe and plan for our check-in between 3p.m. and 9p.m. with early and late check-in avalible with approved notice :) Parking is available to either side at the end of the driveway. Other things to noteAlittle about our homestead;Please understand that we are off-grid, and while we've been off grid 8 years now, we've only been hosting stays like this for 3 years, and we see that we are a destination for many visitors looking for a nature bathing kind of experience, but it's not everyone' cup of coffee... Sooo speaking of coffee, if you are looking for things like an General Electric coffee pot or any electric coffee maker (that are literally designed to wastes energy to just make money) we probably aren't the best fit for your stay ... BUT ... If you want to experience home grown Cacao added to fresh ground coffee brewed Italian style to make an amazing Mocha, FRESH, then we can easily make that while showing you some great energy saving ideas to take home :) like make coffee the way our great grandparents made coffee, it tastes better and is really easier than one may think! We share some toasted homemade sourdough bread out of fresh harvested stocks too, but it again isn't an energy guzzling shinny toaster that does the toasting, it is a cast iron skillet that we toast on, just like our great grandparents did too... Actually one of my favorite skillets belonged to my Great Grandma, so this is the real deal :) Come up and join us when we turn the commons on at 7a.m. if you're interested. We have very little light pollution which will afford beautiful star gazing on clear nights, and epic full moons!! But this means that you should use a flashlight or headlamp which we can provide at your leisure. We don't poop in a bucket in the woods, we actually have a working toilet, and Hot water for showers, a gas powered full range stove. But we also compost and make methane for 100% green energy use... There are chickens and goats, parrots, Dogs & Cats. We have been told by some that it is too cluttered, and by others you make me our home look clean our kitchen table (3'x9') always has some sort of a project on it. One guest said they were so happy to see so much going on as they sat watching us make bread, while another was upset that they didn't have a private kitchen. We feel we are very affordable for what we have to share, and if you feel this description will not fit your needs, then please don't book us because we're affordable. Trust us if we could offer a private kitchen it would only raise our price. We really hope more than anything to share and inspire what a homestead is, and that even in a suburb, or a rural apartment there are small things we can do to save energy and bring ourselves closer to nature!!

Spring Side Hale

1 site · Tent2 acres · Kukuihaele, HI

To all guest you must wait at the lookout until i arrive to guide you into the Valley. Aloha and welcome to Spring Side Hale Surrounded by 2,500-foot cliffs, a journey into the Valley of the Kings requires a steep hike or 4x4 (four wheel drive). Now however, the valley is mostly wilderness interspersed with taro fields (Taro is a traditional Hawaiian staple food) and a couple of dozens of inhabitants. Waipiʻo Valley Road is closed to non-residents. Visitor access to the valley floor and the subsequent valleys is only possible as part of a tour or if you know someone in the valley. The Waipiʻo Lookout is still accessible for everyone. Waipio Valley is a stunning scenic destination with a black sand beach, beautiful waterfalls and Hawaiian historical & cultural significance. It is a very spiritual place of healing, a place of connection with nature and a walk through the past, where time ceases to exist.

We are growing holistic culture and creating a beautiful world together. We want to share this place and find partners in our mission/play/joy (both short and long term).
