The trailhead provides access to bush walking, rock climbing and bird watching. The gravelled path to the summit is relatively steep and there are several steps at the top to the lookout.
Camels Hump is a popular spot with climbers. Please note that rock climbing is permitted only at Camels Hump in the area bounded by Cameron Drive, Camels Hump Trailhead, Macedon Ranges Walk and Mount Macedon Road. The site must be accessed from existing walking tracks and should only be undertaken by experienced climbers or under the guidance of skilled and qualified instructors.
Visitor tips: Visitors should wear sturdy footwear and dress for the conditions. Check the weather forecast before exploring the park as Mount Macedon is usually cooler than surrounding areas and conditions can change quickly.
