Stars & Lava Tube Cave camping
We loved staying at Josh's Lava Tube Campground. It's super peaceful and the view of the stars is incredible!
Josh gave us a personal tour of the really cool lava tube cave. He is super knowledgeable about the area and helped us with info on lots of local camping and sightseeing spots.
This was greatly appreciated since this was our first time visiting the big island.
Josh was super accommodating and even hooked us up with some extra blankets and pillows as we didn't bring any due to traveling light. There's lots of spots to choose from to camp and the property is lighted we'll with solar lights. There's fresh water for drinking, washing dishes, etc. The campsite even has nice flushing toilets!!!
We really enjoyed the fresh coffee on the stargazer deck and played some Cornhole and giant connect four. Super fun! Would highly recommend and we'll definitely come back again.

Awesome hipcamp spot. This property is really well setup and accommodating. The lava tube on the property is incredible. Hot shower, good views, bathrooms...it's ideal and just up the hill from the belt, so easy in and out. Land owner is awesome

Great spot!!!
Great spot for camping! Josh is a great host!
It gets a little chilly at night cuz it's higher altitude so being an extra blanket.
Awesome covered Pavillion with chairs and lights...
High desert style, very similar eastern oregon.
Will definitely stay again!

Lava tubing
Beautiful grounds to large lava tube. Recommend flashlight just case. Host provided information about lava tube and provided guide. Clear walking path in tube though.

JUST THE BEST! It's that simple.
We had a wonderful stay in Josh's campsite, it's a unique place where you feel so good & Josh is really an exceptional person. He helped us a lot & gave us a tour of his domain with, as a surprise, an impressive lava tube, so atypical!
The facilities are top-notch, with hot showers, clean toilets and solar-powered lights along the way. What's more, it's a great place to admire the stars!
Truly the best place we've done on Big Island! Josh is incredible and we hope to come back!
