Treetops Scout Camp

There is something special about Treetops Scout Camp at Riddells Creek. We have stayed here several times over the last couple of years and keep coming back. Is it the serenity? Yes Is it the proximity to Melbourne? Yes Is it the scenery? Yes

There is no doubt about it, treetops ticks all the boxes and being less than 40 klms from the Melbourne GPO makes it ideal for that stopover to and from Tassie, the ideal spot for that family reunion with both cabins and bunkhouse style of accommodation along with the expanding area of powered sites.

This time. we have based ourselves here for the Caravan and Camping Supershow at Caulfield race course. We simply drove the couple of klms back into town and caught the regular train service through to Southern Cross station, hopped aboard another train heading to Caulfield and were there in about an hour.We also have family at nearby Romsey so the location of Treetops has been great.

It's much dryer here than we have ever seen it before. Compare the two photos. Top one is current and the other photo was taken in November 2013.
