KVMC, is members only. You must be military, or a government employee to qualify to stay here but if you have access it's a great deal. This is not a luxury resort but it's a fantastic simple lodge right on the lip of the volcano. The house I rented with my parents was simple three bedroom house with a full... More

We stayed here 4 nights during our Christmas vacation on the Big Island. We had a 3-bedroom cottage and it was awesome: very clean, lots of room, beds comfortable, and a full kitchen with all the necessary utensils for cooking and eating meals in. We weren’t on KMC much as we spent most of our time out exploring but we... More

My husband and I had watched the sunset from McJagger Museum and were leaving the park and just happened to see the Military Camp sign along the road and my husband who is retired air force wanted to stop in and see the camp. They said that there was a cafeteria onsite and we were welcome to eat in the... More

The cozy cottages are heated and sports a wood burning fireplace. Much needed. It gets awfully cold. The bowling is awesome but the food is very slow coming out of the kitchen at the alley. The buffet the next day made up for it. Only $10! Right in the Volcanoes National Park, come back and relax. Absolutely loved it! More

Not only is KMC the only place available to say in Volcano National Park, but it is the only one you should consider. If you're eligible to stay (members of the Canadian Forces are welcome too), prices are significantly lower than the alternative - cottage rentals in the area. In addition to a clean and decent facility where you don't... More

Location: Second to none. Inside the national park and a couple of minutes from the visitor's center. You get to all the sites before the tour buses get there. Staff: Very friendly. They really made everyone feel the holiday season by decorating the inside of the main building and the front houses for a friendly staff competition. Facility: The bowling... More

We stayed two night at the camp in December 2011. The accomidations were ver good,and the staff were pleasent and helpful. As a military recreational facility, prices are set by rank. Prices for the upper end of the pay scale are similar to what you might find in Hilo, 26 miles away. However, for enlisted and junior offier ranks this... More

We stayed at Kilauea Military Camp for 3 nights. They had a special of $59 for a 1 bedroom cabin. Where we stayed was actually a studio with a small refrigerator and microwave. The room was clean and the staff was friendly and welcoming. However the cafe or dining facility was closed for renovation the next day after our arrival.... More

KMC as it is referred to is located inside Volcanoes National Park and is the ONLY place that is currently open which is why we stayed there on our most recent trip to the Big Island. The location could not be better. It is located between the Jaggar Museum and the Visitor Center! However there are a number of things... More

We rented a two bedroom, one bath cabin for a one night stay at KMC and were very pleased. One room had two queen beds, the other had a king and there was a full sized pullout sofa in the living room. The living room area was large and it had a full-sized kitchen. This location cannot be beat and... More
