This epic property was built by a Dillingham daughter and her husband in the early 80's. Transformed into a bed & breakfast in the 90's it is now known as Hawaii Island Resort. This consecutive guest review award winning facility capitalized on the 2018 eruption by starting Hawaii Island Macadamia Nut Company. The orchard has been left alone for more than 20 years with only wild pigs and poultry to tend it. This remarkable property now boasts above organic macadamia nuts just beginning to reach global markets. You can buy cheaper macadamia nuts but you can't buy better nuts. We love to share our abundance with others and opening the property to travelers that love to camp seemed like a perfect addition to our current program. We have recently added glamping options, contact us for more information about that. We look forward to meeting you :) Please leave your pets at home when you visit, mahalo.

On the Big Island, you can experience some of the best camping adventures near Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park. The park is the home of two active volcanoes, along with several lava tubes. Hikers can explore a few of them, including the Thurston Lava Tube. Take a car or your RV and drive up Crater Rim Drive to see the Jaggar Museum’s volcano exhibit. There’s also a lookout point with a stunning view of the Halaema’uma’u Crater. Some campgrounds put campers close to extinct lava fields, while other campsites offer cabins and yurts. You can also take advantage of the nearby lagoon.

The Best Camping Near Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii

We were trying to camp at the black sand beach but it wasn't a very user friendly experience, so I hit up Hip Camp and found this spot! Like many other places on Big Island, it needs to offer a diverse number of things, so it's also part of the Hawaii Island Resort. Excellent hosting and easy to book. My only disappointment was that the pool was out of service. I chose this place over others for the pool. Oh well. Next time!!

Beautiful little Mac Nut grove to pitch a tent!

I found this listing on here but no way to book it instantly so I contacted the host directly . Kelly is super easy to communicate with and answers right away .
 The grounds for camping are on her resort property a couple acres behind it in fact , so there’s no visible building from tent sites .
 We absolutely loved the coqui singing at night and waking to an amazing array of bird’s singing.
 Kelly’s son Alex gives you a full walkthrough of the different types of tress to pick from , and a tour of the hotel property . 
 There’s amazing facilities here including hot water in the showers. 
 I can’t wait to come back here for a visit when we have more time !
 
 

A must visit . Don’t miss this place 

We really enjoyed swimming in the pool under the Easter Island statue. The facilities were great, and the host was welcoming. Thanks for letting us stay on your beautiful property.
