Located on Saddle Road, 10 miles from the Waimea side junction, and 44 miles from Hilo, this 6.83 acre camp is the best site for meetings, retreats, stargazing, or just studying nature. Nearby points of interest include the Nene Goose Sanctuary, Onizuka Center of Astronomy located on Mauna Kea, and Mauna Loa Observatory. At an elevation of 6000 feet this site experiences a variety of weather conditions. Kilohana is perhaps the most rustic of all our Girl Scout camps. The only water comes from a catchment tank adjacent to the main lodge and it is not meant for drinking; there is no electricity, but users are encouraged to bring generators; and some rental car companies do not allow their vehicles on the road into camp. Camp Kilohana can comfortably accommodate 80 people.
