Kilauea Military Camp - Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii

Stayed here for a week and had an amazing time!
Stayed in a one bedroom apartment and it was very cute! It has a little fire place you could use if you wanted to(you buy the wood from the general store). It had a couch(pull out), and end tables and a chair. The shower was walk in and huge! There was a microwave, a mini fridge, and a coffee pot.
The whole camp was nice, there were lots of things to do (bowling, pool tables, small arcade area, mini theater area), and there were a few places to eat too. All the staff we encountered were so polite and chill.
With the camp being inside the National Park it was so cool to be so close to the volcano while it was erupting. It's like a four minute drive to the steam vents and the Crater that erupts. The downside is the park is really out of the way of everything. You're gonna drive 45ish minutes to get back to town depending on traffic.
All in all it was a great stay. Would definitely stay again.

Considering this is a "camp" the accomodations are acceptable. All of the cottages are extremely clean and maintained as well as dated. Because the camp is extremely dark and the weather can be rainy, flashlights and umbrellas are both provided for two. The bed and pillows were comfortable and service is provided every day. The front desk was extremely helpful with whatever we needed.|Our cottage was a 1-bedroom cottage with a living room, bath, refrigerator and microwave. There is a fireplace and matches are also provided.|We were very comfortable and warm and a free breakfast is provided daily.|The only downsides...the carpeting was pretty dirty and needs to be replaced or cleaned and the bathroom is a bit tight when using the toilet...but the shower was wonderful!

Best hotel I've ever stayed at. We got a one bed, the cheapest room and it had a bedroom and a living room which was nice. Super close to trails, on the Crater rim of Kilauea. And free breakfast in the morning for up to two guests. Great experience

My only suggestion, get more shirt sizes at the shop! Super cool designs but only xls

Great location inside Volcano National Park! Nice general store that was a lifesaver. When on vaca during the week just know they don't have the restaurant open, only the grill at the bowling alley. We used to come here as kids and we just brought our kids here to show them where we used to go on vaca. Will always love KMC!

The cabins are rustic but clean and accommodating. It is so convenient to the National Park Visitor Center, the Volcano House, hiking trails and more. This was our 2nd stay here. Breakfast was included for two of us so we had to pay out of pocket for our 3rd person. We opted not to eat other meals there.

The Kīlauea Military Camp serves as a fantastic temporary Welcome Center for Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park while the Kīlauea Visitor Center is under renovation. The park rangers are very helpful, and the Hawaiʻi Pacific Parks Association store offers a great selection of items. Open daily from 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m., it’s a convenient and welcoming stop for information and supplies. Highly recommend visiting!

The rooms are fine, and I love the "camping" feel. The beds, my goodness! Are the mattresses from 1970? The worst sleep I have had...the springs are completely collapsed, they squeak with the slightest movement, and the pillows feel like cinder blocks. The breakfast at the rim grill...oh boy, I wouldn't pay 5 bucks...simply awful. It is almost crimminal to visit a place with so much potential missing on so many of the basic notes. Won't be back,even though we loved staying on the rim. A big shout out for the great service at the lava lounge...the cheeseburgers and onion rings were fantastic!!

The location was great, right in the park. Good parking near where we were staying. We were in a one-bedroom apartment and were happy to get a queen bed. Website says they could give you queen or double and you can’t reserve which you prefer. The bedroom was clean and cozy. Living room was medium sized with a large mini-fridge and small microwave. We were only here two days so didn’t check out all the facilities, but the cafe in the rec center was good. All the workers were helpful. Furniture in 36 B was old but in decent condition, except the sofa which was creaky and smelled. We liked having the sink outside the bathroom. Good value for money.
