Private lava tube!
A great spot between the Manta Rays in Kealakekau and Volcano National Park with a hidden lava tube from Mauna Loa. Josh was very inviting and gave us a tour of the whole property. The brand new cabins and lava tube were amazing. I’ll definitely be back with my friends!

Magical stay among the Ohi’a
We booked with Captain Josh for a site for our campervan. He was a great communicator from the beginning and helped us choose a site that worked with our Van. The draw for us was the Lava Tube and, if you’ve never seen one, that alone is worth the campsite fee! This property comes alive at night with solar lights softly guiding the paths and gently illuminating gazebos. The moon and the stars are entirely accessible from this elevation of about 3500 ft, and you can see all the way to South Point. We picked a simple site for our van, but if you’re cruising the island in a sedan you’ll find well designed and simply delightful cabins to stay in here as well. Very clean, hot hot water (use sparingly as it all has to be transported in and stored in this location on the island), outdoor kitchen facilities, campfire rings, and a central location from which to explore amazing sites. Josh gave us amazing advice on places to visit, he is an amazing host.

Amazing camping spot!
Josh’s campground was amazing! We stopped by after green sands beach and he gave us a tour of the most spectacular lava tube I’ve seen on the island! We were able to rinse off in the heated outdoor showers. All of the cabins he showed us were so cute and had their own bonfire pits and star gazing spots! This is a must visit for sure and we will be going back with a larger group in the near future :) mahalo Josh

A beautiful place where we spent two memorable nights. The illuminated paths create a magical atmosphere. The showers and toilets were impeccably clean, which greatly added to our comfort. Josh is an exceptional host, always friendly and ready to assist us. We highly recommend this place

Stargaze of the Century
What a treat and a thrill it was to be able to experience this place. Such good service and accommodations that were given by "Josh" the coordinator, to rally us during our stay. Such an interesting place with its own beautiful history and a "Diamond in the Rough" of a place if I must say so myself. Beyond the lovely treatment we received, the 4-acre lot gave us plenty of space to venture out and check out the different views this beautiful place had to offer. What made the most impact for me this trip was the night stargazing. I wish I could post the pictures I took, but I did send them and hopefully they will be able to utilize the photos I took. All I could say was "Wow...", when the sun had set the show began and the stars were nothing more than a theater of lights expanding my love for this place. Completely enjoy my experience here, will plan again.
