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.

We had an amazing experience at this campsite! The location was beautiful and peaceful, with plenty of space between sites for privacy. Facilities were clean and well-maintained, and the owner was super friendly and helpful. Whether you’re into , relaxing, or just soaking in nature, this spot has something for everyone. Definitely one of our favourite camping trips – we’ll be back for sure!

A nice Hipcamp. Great location close to town if needed. Nice open space for camping. Toilets the best we’ve had in a Hipcamp. Unfortunately we didn’t stay long enough to check out the tea rooms. A little road noise and aircraft noise but nothing too bad. Friendly and welcoming on arrival. Would love to see a shower for the price.

Our family loved our stay at Dromkeen. The gallery lunches, teas and cakes were delicious and our kids enjoyed the company of the owner’s extended family who were visiting. A great base to explore the Macedon Ranges.
