Polihale Campground

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.

1 night at Moon Garden Farm Getaway

Great property, beautiful, no complaints whatsoever!!

1 night at Yip Camp and Eco-Retreat Center

Amazing little spot!! So cozy, feels like you’re in the middle of nowhere but so convenient for visiting the volcano. Sounds of nature, camping with frills, and the perfect spot to come back to after an adventure. And obsessed with Yip, the host dog!!

2 nights at Captain Cooks Lava Tube Camp/cabins

The land is amazing where you can walk through a lava tunnel and walk to points where you can have a view of the ocean. Josh showed us all around and made sure we had what we needed for our stay. Josh was knowledgeable and provided us with information about the land. The facilities were very clean with flushing toilets and awesome instant hot water showers. We felt very safe! An adventure worth taking, to camp in Hawaii! Where you can see the stars so bright!

Weekend Trip to Captain Cooks Lava Tube Camp/cabins

Josh has a fantastic setup! We had an amazing time. The location is incredibly peaceful. Hot water, flushing toilets, and beautiful Hawaiian plants flowering all over! Josh was so welcoming and friendly. He made sure we were comfortable and gave us a tour of the property, including the stunning lava tube. We can’t wait to return for another camp trip sometime soon. Mahalo nui Josh!!

1 night at Charming Kahuku camp

My daughter and I booked a one night stay in a tent at the last minute and were unable to arrive until after dark. Henry was kind enough to guide us back to a site and allowed us to try out a new site they are setting up so we didn’t have to set our tent up in the dark. Though we didn’t get to spend much time there, it was an absolutely gorgeous spot to wake up in and we loved all of the animal and nature sounds. We wish we could have seen more before having to get on the road, but from what we saw…such a cool spot. Henry, thank you for your generosity—we hope to visit again one day!

2 nights at Waimanalo Farmstay

Clean with amazing views of the mountains even from the shower! Fairly quiet with the exception of roosters and some neighbors. Other hip campers were very friendly. Used the helpful suggestions that were in the hosts profile for places to visit and eat.

1 night at Captain Cooks Lava Tube Camp/cabins

Josh’s campsite was fantastic! The showers and toilets were exceptionally clean—a huge plus for any campsite. With plenty of water available, we could enjoy long, refreshing showers after a full day of travel. The campsite itself is stunning, set atop lava stone, offering a unique and picturesque setting. We pitched our tent on a soft, level surface and were able to park our car right next to it, which was incredibly convenient. Josh was an outstanding host—kind, accommodating, and even generous enough to upgrade our campsite. I highly recommend staying here, as it provides the perfect base for exploring the south side of the Big Island and is just a short drive from the national park.

1 night at Waimanalo Farmstay

Beautiful/stunning views - a lovely stay, few amenities but would definitely recommend.

1 night at Wild Blue Water Ranch

On the road we didn’t expect to see that large beautiful place. Nice shower and restroom. The host was very kind and invite us to take the fruits on the land. Directions were clear and communication too! The view on the ocean is amazing. We saw the sunrise sited on chairs by the coast. Lovely place, it worth the stop.

2 nights at Ohia Hale

It is a nice secluded orchard, with a constant concert of the critters around. I loved the cinnamon tree :) Not far from Kealakekua Bay, nice view of the ocean.

1 night at @FarmToTableHawaii

Beautiful property and very friendly host. Will definitely visit again

1 night at Aloha Family Farms

Camping here was an incredible experience! The facilities were top-notch, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the surroundings were amazing. The clear and easy-to-follow directions made our stay even more enjoyable.

3 nights at Aloha Family Farms

My daughter and I loved our 3 night stay (in our tent). It was such a cool little spot and the sounds of nature at night and early in the morning were so relaxing. Chiarina was such a great host, though we only briefly met in person, she was kind enough to send us local recommendations and was very quick to respond when we had questions. We would definitely come back and recommend it!

2 nights at Waimanalo Farmstay

The views in the morning or unmatched here. Being able to shower and see the mountains is amazing and I would love to come back here eventually.

2 nights at Sun Farm Hawaii @ Koko Head

We never met the host, Marcos, during our stay but it wasn't really an issue. He did respond on HipCamp website. There are also volunteers there to help answer questions about the farm. We enjoyed being in the middle of a beautiful farm on the edge of Honolulu. We also bought some farm fresh produce that was really fresh and delicious. The facilities were clean and not crowded even thought there were other campers on site. We had a 20 foot RV with a pop top camper that was tight to get in but still worked.

2 nights at Sun Farm Hawaii @ Koko Head

What a great place to stay. Convenient to grocery store, Koko head for sunrise, and beaches. We pitched our own tent. The facilities were very convenient and well taken care of! Would 100% come back.

1 night at Captain Cooks Lava Tube Camp/cabins

Josh was attentive, friendly and communicative ensuring our check-in was smooth and that we could use the facilities. The bathrooms were spotless and the warm shower was a great plus. I’m not super into caves, but the lava tube was majestic. We also enjoyed the fresh black coffee and especially the two puppies who welcomed us as well.

1 night at Sun Farm Hawaii @ Koko Head

We had an amazing time camping at Koko Head! The facilities were excellent, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the surroundings and views were absolutely breathtaking. The directions were clear and easy to follow, making for a fantastic stay.

2 nights at Sun Farm Hawaii @ Koko Head

My boyfriend and I loved our stay at Sun Farm! We originally only booked two nights and we ended up booking another two nights, it’s close to tons of great hikes! It has all the amenities we needed, super kind staff and we got to meet lots of other travellers! we loved hanging out with the chickens, cats and of course Waimea the dog!

Weekend Trip to Waimanalo Farmstay

The view is amazing and the weather was perfect. We went in the spring. I loved the privacy we had. I loved taking a hot shower everyday. The only thing i would complain about is the neighbors behind made so much noise at random hours throughout the night. Like a generator and it sounded like they were fixing a truck. I also saw someone walking with a flashlight in the trees behind us. I still felt pretty safe other than that. Also, if you want to camp in Hawaii be prepared for loud chickens. We can deal with it but not everyone can. I would come here with my family again.

Treehouse Green Farm and Garden

3 sites · Tents20 acres · Mountain View, HI

The Treehouse Farm campsites are about 20 minutes from Volcano National Park, and 40 minutes from Hilo airport and the beaches. The Treehouse Cannabis Garden is a medical grow site and the perfect remote setting for healing and relaxing. The Greenhouse and Solar Camping sites are in the garden. The Campervan site is in the driveway. A trail separates the camping area from the treehouse and the outdoor bath amenities with a jungle vibe. Cannabis consumers and non Cannabis consumers enjoy the serenity of the garden camping area. This is a unique camping experience. It's not glamping but if you wish we can set you up with extras like a tent setup, ac electric, a cooler with ice, an educational tour and more are available at additional cost. It's important to us and the patients we serve that we grow Cannabis year round. However, sometimes due to forces out of our control, our garden may not be as pictured. Like most outdoor gardens on the big island we harvest at the end of our long growing season in August or September. During the colder, rainier and shortest days of the year (Nov.-Jan.) we have most likely harvested the majority of plants and have started new sprouts. Be sure to check out our blog for the latest updates in the garden. The Cannabis Garden Greenhouse Site is a bit more glampish but definitely not glamorous. It is comfortable inside the popup screened area under the transparent tarp. It's dry and easy to setup an air mattress under the mosquito net. The treehouse was designed and built within a pre-existing canvas of native Ohia and Hapuu forested canvas. The house was not designed around human needs but around the existing environment. Spiritual visitors can find peace here. We give thanks to Hawaiian Gods Lono, Ku, Kanaloa and Kane. Many hours have been dedicated to gratitude, permission and love for other Hawaiian Gods like Waikea and Goddesses like Pele's equally powerful Sister, Hiʻiaka. https://www.nps.gov/articles/pele-and-hiiaka.htm As the sun begins to peek through the Ohia trees, the hapuu tree ferns call up the other native ferns and together the symphony greets the Sun E Ala E! E ala e Ka la i kahikina I ka moana Ka moana hohonu Pi’i ka lewa Ka lewa nu’u I kahikina Aia ka la. E ala e! Awaken/Arise The sun in the east From the ocean The ocean deep Climbing (to) the heavens The heaven highest In the east There is the sun Awaken! As the temperatures slowly rise, it's time to start preparing for another amazing day on Hawaii Island. This chant, shared by Anakala Kimo Awai of Hilo and the Windward Ahupuaʻa Kūpuna, is both a greeting to the morning sun and a request for inspiration from Ke Akua, creation, or our ancestors. It was danced by Pele's sister Kapoulakinau on Niʻihau, marking it as one of the earliest hula kiʻi. Hiki Mai Ka La Hiki mai, hiki mai ka lā Aloha wale, ka lā e kau nei Aia malalo o Kawaihoa A ka lalo o Kauaʻi O Lehua Here it comes, here comes the Sun How I love the Sun in the sky There below is Kawaihoa On the incline of Kauaʻi Is Lehua Tips to help you get ready for your upcoming adventures at the treehouse farm and garden greenhouse campsite. 1. Check Your Gear First things first, let's start with the basics – Whether it is checking the gas and oil in your campervan or finally giving your tent that deep clean it deserves. In the rainforest, it's nice to spray some waterproofing for an extra layer of protection on your rainfly. But you will be inside the 8x8 tent that's inside the dry greenhouse tent 10x20. So don't water proof your tent for our campsite but consider water proofing your hiking boots if you plan on hiking our native forests. Remember to give clean your sleeping bags before heading out. The nearest washer and dryer are 30minutes away. Clean gear will feel good. So grab your cleaning supplies and get to work – your gear will thank you! 2. Test Out New Gear Thinking of investing in some shiny new camping gear this season? Before you embark test out your new gear closer to home. This will give you the opportunity to familiarize yourself with your new equipment, work out any kinks, and ensure everything is in working order before you venture to Hawaii. 3. Plan Your Trip Whether you're dreaming of mountains, rivers, beaches, trailers or ocean adventures, now is the time to start researching destinations, booking manta ray night dives, dolphin swims and mapping out your routes before you arrive will give you something to look forward to as you countdown the days until your flight. 4. Prepare for your visit by connecting with your host in advance. You'll want someone on site to greet you and unlock the gate. Mobile phone service may not be available as you near the property. So please be sure to download the pdf to your device. Let us know if the directions seem unclear when we email then to you. Please don't rely on Google maps or intuition for directions. 5. We are remote. Get oriented with directions before you leave for the property. 6. Our roads are in good shape but the quality does vary when we get a lot of rain. Once you make it to the property, pull all the way into the driveway. If you've provided us with your check in time, someone will come out to greet you. We will then show you to your spot so you can get setup. It's not a problem to arrive or check in later. Signs on the path will help you find your campsite. Consider setting up your camp before dark. 7. Prior to arriving, take a little time to learn about Hawaiian culture. Kū, Kanaloa, Kāne and Lono rule here. When you arrive you'll be shown where to ask for entry into the forest. To better understand where you'll be staying please consider reading the Ka Moolelo O Hi'iakaikapoliopele. This is the land of Hi'iaka. Additional Tips Inspect Your Equipment Start with the basics: check your campervan's gas and oil or give your tent a thorough clean. At our campsite, your tent will be sheltered within a greenhouse, making extra waterproofing unnecessary. However, waterproofing your hiking boots is advisable for forest adventures. Clean gear is crucial for a comfortable experience. Familiarize Yourself with New Equipment Test new camping gear close to home to familiarize yourself with its features, ensuring everything is perfect for your adventure in Hawaii. Organize Your Adventure Plan now for your dream of mountains, rivers, beaches, or oceanic adventures. Book your manta ray night dives and dolphin swims early, and map out your excursions for a seamless experience. Seek Knowledge Immerse yourself in Hawaiian culture by learning the following chants, connecting with the land and its ancestors. E Hō Mai E hō mai Ka ʻike mai luna mai ē ʻO nā mea huna noʻeau O nā mele ē E hō mai E hō mai E hō mai Repeated three times, each with an increasing pitch, this chant makes a heartfelt request for knowledge, connecting us to the wisdom of our ancestors and the depth of Hawaiian cultural heritage. Grant us knowledge from above The things of knowledge hidden in the chants Grant us Grant us Grant us By embracing these chants, you not only prepare for a physical journey through the beauty of Hawaii Island but also embark on a spiritual journey, deepening your connection to the rich tapestry of Hawaiian culture and history. We also practice Vipassana. Join us for a sit. https://www.dhamma.org/en/ Cannabis Farm and Garden Article in Outside Online https://treehouse.farm/cannabis-farm-garden/

This is a breathtaking space that our family has poured many decades and multiple generations into. We are surrounded by jungle, with a freshwater stream running through the entire property and unobstructed mountain views. If you’re especially sensitive to mosquitos, bugs, geckos, free roaming chickens or other elements to be expected in nature, this might not be the place for you. Waimanalo is a small agricultural town filled with nurseries, horse stables, and a high concentration of Hawaiian homes. It remains mostly undeveloped and authentic, and we aim to keep it that way. Outsiders do not often get the opportunity to stay back here, but we welcome respectful travelers looking for an authentic experience who can appreciate this privilege. While nestled against the mountains, we're just a five minute drive from the beach. We are fifteen minutes from Kailua town, where you'll find several grocery stores, shops, and restaurants. This is a working farm. While we are very hospitable, we are not in the business of hospitality. I am happy to accommodate travelers, but I am not here at your beck and call. If that is the experience you are seeking, I think you would be happier elsewhere. We appreciate all of your bookings, and profits go directly back into farm infrastructure and new fruit trees.

Ohia Hale

3 sites · RVs, Tents15 acres · Captain Cook, HI

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.

Dog-friendly camping in Hawaii guide

Overview

The Hawaiian islands are a tropical paradise of beaches, mountains, jungles, and volcanoes, and a popular destination for many travelers, pet owners included. Pets can enter Hawaii, assuming certain conditions like rabies vaccinations have been met, with a five-day quarantine period. Public dog-friendly Hawaii camping is very limited, but options include pet-friendly campgrounds at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island, Haleakalā National Park, some county parks on Maui, Ahupua'a ‘O Kahana State Park on Oahu, and Koke'e State Park on Kauai. For more options, look to private campgrounds with tent sites, campervan sites, or cabins near Hilo, Kahului, Kaunakakai, and the North Shore of Oahu, where you can stay with your dog near the beach, in the rainforest, and near volcanoes. Always check before bringing your dog along for exploring, as leashed dogs are allowed on some beaches, parks, and trails, but not all.
