The camping at Dromkeen was excellent, we set up in the paddock with a view over a little valley and it was lovely and peaceful. You could just hear the main road, but there wasn't much traffic after sunset. There were bathrooms available for use which were clean, but be mindful there weren't any showering facilities (as advertised in the listing). It was just a short drive into town for essentials and the Macedon Ranges are close by for hiking and sightseeing. Overall a great little stay!

Lovely property and hosts. The gallery there had some amazing pieces on exhibition and the tearoom was lovely, especially convenient if you can't be bothered making your own coffee at your site. Toilets were clean and well stocked. Little man loved seeing a mob of around 40 kangaroos in the paddock in the late afternoon.
Only potential negatives are that the public access & carpark for the tea room and gallery is visible from the camping area, so it's not super private and there seemed to be some confused looks from patrons as to why there were tents set up. Also for those unfamiliar with the area, there will be a bit of noise from the nearby train line and flight path but that just comes with the nature of the location. All up we were quite happy!

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.

We had a wonderful two nights under the clear starry skies at Dromkeen. We were in the area for an event, so didn’t partake in the gallery or cafe, but the camping area was just what we needed so that we didn’t have to drive back and forth from home to event each day. Thanks Bernadette.
