Kīlauea Military Camp

We did a little relaxing and laundry after the long hike. Then we decided to go back into the park to check out the Kīlauea military camp. It’s a unique place that was built starting in 1919 as a place for military personnel to go and relax. (There is an article below that explains a little bit about the facility.) While you need military credentials or a sponsor to stay there, the other parts are open to the public. There is a bowling alley with a snack bar, a restaurant, and a convenience store. Like many things here the hours are very limited. The restaurant is only open on Fridays and Saturdays. We tried to go bowling, but it was all booked up for the evening. We got some food at the snack bar and the girls played in the arcade. Alix likes pinball. Sam likes the immersive video games.
