I for one after 22 yrs in the military, very much appreciate the facility and thankfull that with all the federal budget cuts, its still open. Its not the Hilton, but neither are the prices . If you have complaints, then your roughest day in the service must have been at a Motel 6 years ago. Thanks for the opportunity... More

The words Military Camp set the tone for my expectations. "Camp" do not confuse with hotel or the Four Seasons and I've stayed at the four seasons several times and I thought KMC was just charming. Not to mention how old the place is and they are in the midst of making it a historical property. Compared to a couple... More

We stayed in a large 2-bedroom cabin with kitchen. It was a stone cottage next to the general store. The cabin was roomy and comfortable. It's a fun place, especially when you consider the proximity to the volcano crater...you are sleeping ON the volcano! We only had breakfast at the cafe, and it was decent for the price. We bowled...

Facilities are above average for the comparative price in Hawaii. They are slightly aged, but absolutely acceptable for a family of four who spent most of our time sight-seeing. The location is key - inside the park and near the black sand / sea turtle beaches. Bring your running shoes hiking boots because sandles just won't cut it. Wireless Internet... More

Thankfully, we stayed only one night in Cottage 24 (2 bedroom with kitchen). When we arrived the garbage can outside of the front door was overflowing with trash to make a good first impression. When we opened the front door, we were overcome with the stench of fireplace smoke from prior guests. The furniture was well worn and in desperate... More

Our sixth stay. How can you not love this place. 500 yards from active Halimaumau crater. Yes, it is a bit like camping. Yes, the food at the cafe is a bit like what you ate for basic military training. Remember you work for DoD, you are used to this! I am so grateful I get to stay here. The... More

We have been here once before and both times have stayed in the cottages along the front drive.It is great to start the day right in the park. Cottages are clean and now even have flat screen TV's. The only problem we had was the shower head needed cleaning or replacing. Store is handly for bottled water, extra coffee and... More

The KMC is located inside Volcanoes National Park and puts you right in the middle of all the activities to do within the park. It is it's own little community with a small convenience store,restaurant, bowling alley,bar,coffee shop and gas station. I have stayed here twice and both times have been great experiences. We stayed in a 2 bedroom 2... More

KMC is a great place to stay if your looking for something on the cheaper side in Hawaii. Just keep in mind that you are an hour away from the Hilo airport. Although the KMC offers transportion from Hilo airport you need to book 48 hours in advance but once you get to KMC there is not much around. If... More
