What could be better than staying right in the middle of one of the great wonders of the Pacific; an active volcano. Accommodations range from the more rustic to quite updated cabins. We have stayed in both. The three bedroom cottage that we had a few years ago had a jetted tub, full kitchen with corian counters, etc. Our most... More

Aloha peeps! I've stayed at KMC a few times over the last few years and things have steadily improved over that time. KMC is essentially a small military base. There's a dining facility, shoppette/corner store, bowling alley and nearly anything else you could ask for. The cabins have all been remodeled for the most part and they are very comfy.... More

Friendly staff. Great location for the volcano. We were traveling with our 8 & 11 year old and they got tired of the volcano activities fast. We did the 1/2 day tour, which was plenty for them. Then the next day we did the 4 mile hike into the crater. They both dragged at the end since it was very... More

As others have said..... don't include Kilauea Military Camp in your itinerary ... if you are seeking luxury. These are cabins.... not condos and not hotel rooms. They are old and well used and well loved. We always stay in the 2 bedroom front row cabins and they have gorgeous stained glass windows in the bedroom. They are clean ......... More

This is our second visit to the Big Island and KMC. I like the location within Volcanoes National Park, and the grounds and all amenities. You can even get Starbucks coffee here which is nice for people like myself that need strong morning coffee. The accommodations are where the review is rated down. If you look at it like a... More

The bottom line on KMC (as they call it) is it is more than a camp, but less than a hotel sitting on the rim of Kilauea. There are tons of cabins that range from efficiencies to multi-bedroom. None of these cabins are luxurious, but they do have kitchens and fireplaces, so they have a charm and coziness. The facilities... More

With very limited choices in Kilauea, I'm so glad we were able to stay at KMC. Our friends told us that this was a good place to stay and since Volcano National Park was a must do for our trip to Hawaii, we made reservations to stay here 2 nights. The Camp isn't like a hotel so be aware of... More

We have just returned from a two week stay at Kilauea Military Camp which is literally on the rim of Kilauea volcano. The staff was super accomodating and the facitlities were top notch. Our cabin (2br/2bath) was newly refurbished and very cozy. Beautiful location for volcano viewing, hiking, and exploring the park. Not your 'usual' Hawaii vacation though as it... More

This is a very nice place, its basic, no frills approach is great. The cabins are nice and as others have said the furniture is a tad outdated but for the nightly rate I can't complain about that. I know were all here to see the volcano but with most of the roadways closed there is not much at all... More

Great location to explore Volcanoes National Park and the Hilo side of the Big Island. Furniture in the cabins need updating but for the price it’s still worth it. The camp also has a small BX and gas station. If you qualify and can get in it’s definitely worth it. More
