Aloha and welcome to Silver Oak Sunsets, a 5 acre agriculture farm and family plot situated in the Kona Coffee Belt on the western slopes of Hualalai Mountain in Kona, Hawai'i. With great stargazing opportunities, the area where you will camp is located on the top two acres of the property at 2000ft elevation above sea level. The camping area is an open grassy (mowed) area surrounded with avocado, kukui nut and silver oak trees. This area boasts some of the best ocean, coastline, and sunset views in Kona! The bottom 3 acres are where my family and I reside.
Conveniently located just 10 minutes from Kona International Airport, 15 minutes to the beach, 5 minutes to the nearest golf course, gas station, and grocery store, Silver Oak Sunsets campsite is secluded yet close to everything Kona.
Our seasonal changes are mild compared to the continental US. Summer months (May-September) are warmer and with more rain and the winters (Nov-April) are cooler and drier with temperatures dipping to the low 50's.
Plans to build a mini cabin are in the works. In the meantime, the ideal experience would be if you were camping in a Class B van or 4x4 vehicle with tent (Tepui-type) set up. But don't fret, you can park your car, truck or minivan at the designated parking area and pitch your tent nearby on the ground. You and your family will have this campsite all to yourselves as Silver Oak Sunsets has just one campsite. Our family plot is located on the top acre in an area known fondly as Grandma's Garden.
Provided for your camping experience are the following amenities:
*Portable toilet and toilet paper (cleaned regularly)
*Outdoor hot shower using Camplux propane water heater
*Cold water sink
*Water spigot
*Large picnic table
*Propane fire pit
Sights and sounds you will likely encounter:
*Coqui frogs (mostly at night)
*Roosters and hens (will let you know that the sun is rising)
*Dog's barking (heard in the distance)
*Vehicle traffic (heard in the distance)
*A beautiful sunset
Other sight's and sounds you may encounter:
*Turkey's and Kalij Pheasant's walking about and napping
*Hawk's flying overhead
*Wild boar (grazing at night) Note that boars do not typical attack, especially in unprovoked.
*Mongoose (Hawai'i's version of a squirrel) They are not friendly but mind themselves.
*My family and I landscaping and farming.
No open fire burning at this time and please be respectful of loud noise after 9pm. Mahalo!This campsite is located below the rock wall on a mostly flat surface for you to park your Class B van or 4x4 camping set up. The large picnic table and propane fireplace are located here. If pitching a tent, guests can set up here or nearby (but not under) the large avocado tree. Both areas have great coastline and sunset views. The outdoor shower, portable toilet, and sink are located on the backside of the wooden tool shed, approximately 20 yards from your camping setup.
Feel free to roam around the top 2 acres of the property. The north side is fenced off to the neighboring property and the east (mauka/mountain) side ends at the old hawaiian built rock wall. The south side ends at the overgrown 4x4 road. Please do not venture above the top of the property as natural flora/fauna and wild animals such as the I'o (hawaiian hawk), endemic to Hawai'i, are at risk of disease and becoming endangered.
No open fire at this time unless cooking meals in a small barbeque grill off the ground. Please also be respectful of loud noise after 9pm.
