Camp H M Smith

Camp Smith is a US Marine Corp Base on Hawaii. You need an Military or dependent ID car to get on base. There are a couple places to eat (Subway, Charlie’s and Aloha grille). The parking is horrible, more people work on this base then there is parking and no visitor spots.

I really don’t know much about Camp Smith except for that it is a Marine Corps. Base and yeah. I came here one day for an event at Sunset Lanai and that is about it. The roadway circles around like a crater from where you enter and leading you just about where you came from. It is a nice scenary driving up the looping crater but however don’t see much of anything else to do here other than your average typical military type of business if you are in the military. The parking is pretty challenging since there isn’t much of a parking lot. They have a pretty nice football field for outdoor play and sports and for running around and stuff that is right next to the Sunset Lanai area. The last time I was there, there was some women’s flag football action going on which was a pretty nice game to watch. You can have a great view and scenery up there as well. If you are not military then you would of course would have to get a pass to have access to inside the base just like all the other bases on the island. I guess the whole crater makes good use for running and exercising as well.

Great post. I was only there for a few days but the facilities are nice, and there’s a cool little lunch/​coffee spot that gets pretty busy. They are building what looks to be the one of the largest gyms on the island — Semper Fi! Word of warning: parking is a beast! If you are visiting, make sure that someone hooks you up with a pass. «Camp Smith doesn’t have a parking problem, it has a walking problem.» At least, according to the Provost Marshall, who I am sure has his own parking space.

Going for a little run, run!

What can I say about Camp Smith, I’ve worked here for over ten years now.
pros:
gym
MCX
gas station (²⁴⁄₇)
track has a great views
cons:
parking
limited dining options
The track is in pretty bad shape but you can’t beat the views on a clear day. Run clockwise and you can see all the way to Kapolei; turn around and Diamondhead will be in your sights.
The Sunset Lanai opens in the afternoons and has Mongolian BBQ on Wednesday evenings.
