Camping will be allowed at Hanging Rock in a once-a-year event.
Macedon Ranges council is opening up the site for an exclusive overnight stay in one of the Ranges’ most iconic destinations.
Campers can access an unpowered site with up to six people max, with a range of activities planned as part of the experience.
Campers can go on a ranger-guided sunset walk to Hanging Rock’s summit, enjoy an open-air cinema screening of a family friendly film, and enjoy after hours access to Hanging Rock Reserve, including the Summit and Base Walking Trails until sunset.
A ranger will also be able to take you on a sunrise viewing walk, to ensure you get the best views of the iconic feature, and the Hanging Rock Cafe will be open from 4pm on Saturday, serving up dinner and breakfast for guests.
Council’s Hanging Rock senior ranger team leader Shane Caruana welcomed the community to take part in this special event.
“Hanging Rock is such a special place and we’re fortunate to be able to help manage and maintain it every day, welcoming visitors from across the state, country and even the world,” he said.
Campout at Hanging Rock will be held on Saturday 21 February, with check in from 3.30pm. Sites will cost $85 each for up to six people to stay.
The campout is primarily for campers staying in tents, with a limited number of caravan sites available.
