There’s a couple overlooks in the National park. If you have a car, it’s pretty easy to navigate since it’s one main road that covers the park. You should have phone service is most places too, so you can look up where to go.

The big thing to keep in mind, everybody else also wants to see this, especially at night. Just after sunset is the most popular times. The National park service recommends visiting after 9pm, after traffic dies down. When this volcano start to erupt again recently, the line of cars to get in was basically a parking lot. Over an hour wait for parking apparently

Is it still erupting now? I'll be going to The National Park next week for the very first time.

If it’s still going, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park’s Devastation Trail leads right to the viewing area.

The lava is only in Halemaumau Crater at the summit of Kilauea in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. This eruption, almost any crater rim viewing site has clear sights of the lava lake and fountains.
