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.

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.
