Larch Hill is the National Campsite & Training Centre of Scouting Ireland.

Situated in the picturesque valley between Kilmashogue and Tibradden
mountains 11 kilometers from the centre of Dublin, Larch Hill is a 36 hectare
campsite surrounded by natural amenities to enhance your scouting experience.  

The Campsite is within 7 kilometers of 3 major supermarkets and the public bus service runs nearby.

Larch Hill is a place where young people can enjoy outdoor pursuits and sport in a safe friendly and secure environment, and "assists young people in achieving their full spiritual, intellectual, physical, and cultural potential so as to take a constructive place in society as good citizens”.

Larch Hill is filled with many natural amenities and wild life. Animals that can be found throughout the estate include deer, rabbits, squirrels, fox, badgers and much more. The estate is also home to many different rare and exotic species of trees, some of these are over 150 years old. As you travel around the estate you will see young trees that have been recently planted as part of Larch Hills policy on renewing trees on the estate. Maybe your group would consider buying some trees as your contribution to improving the environment.

The campsite also operates a reduce, re-use, recycle policy.
