All the school's facilities are located on this site, which also contains a small lake and forest named Netherleigh. Campbell's junior school - formerly located on an adjacent site and called Cabin Hill - is now also located on the site. The school has the oldest Combined Cadet Force in Ireland, with over 400 cadets. The school has an international reputation and attracts boarders from Hong Kong, Singapore and Africa.

Famous quotes containing the words campbell and/or college:
“O Star-eyed Science! hast thou wandered there,
To waft us home the message of despair?”
—Thomas Campbell (1777–1844)
“We talked about and that has always been a puzzle to me
why American men think that success is everything
when they know that eighty percent of them are not
going to succeed more than to just keep going and why
if they are not why do they not keep on being
interested in the things that interested them when
they were college men and why American men different
from English men do not get more interesting as they
get older.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
