Gilwell Campsite (Chinese: 基維爾營地) a major campsite run by the Scout Association of Hong Kong for wild camping and other scouting activities in the Kowloon Peak (Fei Ngo Shan) area in New Kowloon, Hong Kong The campsite is near MacLehose Trail with road access through an unnamed road that joins with Fei Ngo Shan Road. Its altitude is 430 m (1,410 ft) above sea level. A few minutes walk from the site, there are viewpoints over Kowloon, the Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong Island.[citation needed] The campsite is managed by Kowloon Region. The campsite is located within the boundaries of Sha Tin District, very close to its borders with Wong Tai Sin District and Sai Kung District, and much closer to Tung Yeung Shan rather than the summit of Kowloon Peak, which is about 1.7 kilometres (1.1 mi) to the south.[1][2][3]
