Yamanaka Scout Camp ボーイスカウト日本連盟山中野営場 (Bōi Sukauto Nippon Renmei Yamanaka Yaeijō, Scout Association of Japan Yamanaka Facility) was the mountainous national Scout training camp of the Scout Association of Japan, located in Minamitsuru District, Yamanashi, near Lake Yamanaka, near the base of Mount Fuji in Yamanashi Prefecture. Yamanaka campsite was established at the end of the Taishō era for training Scout leaders. The 1,000 meter altitude, quiet campground is surrounded by the acorn-bearing Quercus mongolica (mizunara) and larch on a northward slope of about 72,732 square meters, (roughly 18 acres) which gently drops towards Lake Yamanaka.
