About this property
Civilian Conservation Corps Camp in Kōkeʻe State Park is located at Hawaii Route 550, in Waimea, on the island of Kauaʻi, in the U.S. state of Hawaii. It was built in 1935 with lumber that was put into the saltwater and floated to the shore at Port Allen, the seawater adding a natural termite protection to the lumber. The camp was in continual use for forest management, until Hurricane Iwa devastated it in 1982. In the 1990s it was restored through the efforts of the non-profit Hui O Laka environmental group, and is currently open to the public. It was added to the Hawaiʻi Register of Historic Places and the National Register of Historic Places on December 20, 1996.
