Post-Volcano Hawaii Camping
The original Hedonisia property is not open to the public due to the roads being covered in lava from the Kilauea volcanic eruption. Due to these restrictions, our post-volcano property is only be able to host 1-2 people at a time. Currently accepting advance applications to allow time for travelers to plan and prepare for their stay in Hawaii from December 2026.
We will offer volunteer and intern programs. However, they are focussed on individuals and couples enjoying a stay with more solitude than the pre-volcano Hedonisia which was much more 'touristy' and community oriented.
Our goal is to complete two tiny homes. Our intent is to showcase to the local government that a tiny home can be built using local and recycled materials.
As an off-grid lodging, our Hawaii camping spot has basic amenities:
- Drinking water is available in town near the local supermarkets
- We use solar chargers or power packs.
- There is a compost toilet onsite.
Heart, Body & Brain Work
While rebuilding, we can offer a scaled down version of our pre-volcano Intern and Volunteer programs that allows ample free time to be an 'eco-tourist'.
Hedonisia Lava Land Private Camping is focussed on attracting artists, tech workers, writers, social entrepreneurs and other creatives who want an affordable, cozy place to stay in paradise.
Our private Hawaii camping option is a place where you can settle in and work on their creative projects while living in the volcano zone of Hawaii.
Landscapers, Artists & Creatives will find much enjoyment in the Hedonisia space that is a peaceful place to work on creative or intellectual projects.
Interns can choose to work on web projects in the Hedonisia Lava to Lotus Web Portfolio based on their experience and interests.
Volunteers and Guests staying longer than a week get to participate in our rebuilding with body work on the land or community maintenance chores.
