| Less than an hour’s drive from Hilo airport, KMC offers a rustic escape in the cool mountain air of the Big Island of Hawaii. KMC is located within Volcanoes National Park and is a great location for exploring the Park and taking an excursion to see the current volcanic activity, all while enjoying the comfortable accommodations of this joint services recreation facility. This is truly a unique Hawaiian experience. At present, ten 1-bedroom cottages have been reserved for our group. Each features a small refrigerator, a microwave, a coffee pot, and other amenities which take KMC out of the realm of normal camping. And because KMC is at 4000 feet elevation, the cottages are equipped with heaters, one of the unique July vacation spots in our lovely tropical state where heaters are part of the amenities. Please check the website for information about recreation, shopping and dining within the camp. Additional dining options are available at the Volcano House, a Park facility, and in the nearby picturesque community of Volcano. Volcano is an artsy town with a golf course and a winery. KMC room rates vary by rank, and are published on the KMC web site. Grades O-4 to O-10 should expect to pay $127 per night for the cottages we have reserved. Round trip air on Hawaiian Air Lines from Honolulu is expected to be about $122 per person. Shuttle service between KMC and the Hilo airport is $8 per person one way.
