Amazing views

Hipcampers say this spot has amazing views.

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.Tucked into the Ohia forest on the gentle slopes of Mauna Loa surrounded by various native plants, the cool mountain breeze will refresh as the oceans views energize. Shaded areas and spots with full sun and views of the stars offer a breath taking experience. Undeveloped camping with *** no ameneties *** offers a natural experience on a working farm. Enjoy hiking up the mountain. Beaches and coastal hikes are a short drive. Note: It rains almost everyday. Are you ready? We do have a portapotty as a test run.

Ohia Hale offers a serene camping experience amidst a working orchard with stunning sunset views and a starry night sky. Guests appreciated the welcoming nature of the hosts, Colin and Susan, and their friendly dog, Speckles. While some found the communication regarding directions a bit challenging, most reviews highlight the clear instructions provided by Colin. The campsite offers a unique experience, though some campers noted the need for better maintenance of amenities like the outhouse.

Don't stay here

Tent

Not a good place to camp for the price, we left without even staying the night, host would not refund. Very poor access road, poor host service, no facilities aside from a pora potty in a field nearby. Go somewhere else, there are lots of better choices for the price, the national park in volcano is $10-15/night and has flush toilets, drive in sites picnic tables, a dish washing area and potable water and is way better value.

Sunset view

Colin was super helpful with some last minute planning changes and provided great travel tips. Our camp spot had a magnificent sunset view over the ocean. We fell asleep to the sounds of frogs and woke to the sound of the birds. The stargazing was amazing.

5 star review, thanks Colin!

Tent

We enjoyed our night camping at Ohia Hale! Colin’s directions to find the campsite were spot on and we didn’t have any trouble. He was also kind enough to supply firewood! Some (nice) wild pigs came through the campsite late at night and we got to hear them, so cute! Not to mention Colin’s sweet little dog, Speckles, who was very welcoming! :) Would definitely recommend to other campers!
