One week at Josh’s place

We have been camping on the Big Island couple of times. Josh’s campground is best by far. He upgraded us with better bungalow with star watching deck. Josh was very helpful with providing us weather and trip information so we could stay always on sunny side of the Island. All facilities are new and clean. Lava tube at the campground was impressive. We recommend this campground to everyone. Thank you Josh.

Amazing Camp Site on Big Island!

Incredible campsite! Seriously, probably the best place on the island to camp. The owners have put in a lot of TLC into this place - the facilities are immaculate, the host(s) are on-site and available anytime you need, and the property is beyond well-maintained. I was pleasantly surprised to find CLEAN, FLUSHING toilets; a shower with hot water, and a kitchen sink. The fire pits and gazebos were very much appreciated. We had the best time here. And, of course, the lava tube was awesome. This place is a hidden gem. I highly highly recommend!

Best spot on South Big Island.

This place is great! Clean toilet. Great shower. Star gazing deck. Host is friendly. Camp sites were awesome. And there is huge Lava tube you can check out. Make it easy on yourself and stay here. I'll definitely be back when I'm on the south side of the island.

It was great with Josh, who is a real star host. He has built a beautiful, clean, safe and authentic campsite and you can tell how committed he is to it. In many details you can see the love that goes into this campsite. Many thanks to Josh. Hope to see you soon.
