Absolutely the best way to experience the Big Island. Great way to save money by combining vehicle + lodging, and also the best way to spend time by the beach, overlooking the ocean, and getting off the beaten path. The vehicle came with everything we needed -- camp stove and propane, kettle and coffee pour over (pro tip - buy your own ground coffee to enjoy a proper Kona cup!), camp chairs, comfortable sheets and pillows, etc. The views from the tent on top of the car were incredible wherever we stayed. Unforgettable experience.
