Heritage listed homestead featuring children’s art and literature. Currently featuring a beautiful exhibition by award winning Australian authors/illustrators Mark Wilson, Leigh Hobbs, Ann James & Gabrielle Wang. Nestled in the Macedon ranges in the tiny hamlet of Riddell’s Creek, Dromkeen is 30 minutes drive from Melbourne Airport. This stately National Trust home has beautiful gardens with a range of Australian native and European plants, a gazebo and two resident alpacas. We have space in the large carpark for vans, motorhomes, or alternatively the horse paddock for tents and campers. Ample toilets available. Dogs permitted by advance request. Guests are welcome to visit the Tea Room, open 10am – 5pm Wednesday through Sunday. Our daily menu contains a selection of delicious cakes, devonshire tea, toasted sandwiches, specialty pies and weekly specials and of course, tea and coffee. Breakfast is served all day. Browse in the galleries or wander around the beautiful gardens which have trees more than 100 years old, some listed on the National Trust register. Meet our 2 Dromkeen alpacas Hannah and Lilly. ***Please note, we are a rubbish free campsite, so campers are asked to take their rubbish with them. Dromkeen has very clean toilets, but a reminder there are NO showers. Also all sites are unpowered, but upon request prior to arrival a powered spot may be available at an extra $10 a day. Please ring to verify this. During summer months because of fire restrictions we also remind campers there should be NO outside campfires. ****Also please note, each van or tent is considered a separate booking site and each site is considered a space for 2 adults and up to 4 children. Where there are 2 couples, they are required to make 2 separate bookings.

Serene Paddock Escape
Lovely quiet site with gorgeous views over the paddocks and neighbouring cows! We went during a long weekend and even with a handful of other camper groups there was still plenty of space to make it feel like a private get-away. Also highly recommend lunch at the cafe/gallery on site - we’ll be back for the cakes!

Garden View Site
Expensive given facilties on offer
Host was lovely. Facilities limited to toilets & power (extra $10 per night.). Nice views over paddocks with herd of kangaroos in next paddock often. A tad on the expensive side overall. Hipcamp collecting $14 as a booking fee for each and every night of a stay booked through them is a bit much IMHO.

Bernadette is very nice, she took her time to show us our camp site location, directed us where are the toilet and drinking water tap. The whole camp site is very clean and the camping area is big enough for the kids to running around. The view was very nice from where we camp.
