Camel's Hump is a prominent geological feature in Mount Macedon, standing as the highest point in the range. The walk to the summit is paved and takes approximately 20 minutes return; while steep, it includes a resting bench halfway to accommodate various fitness levels. At the top, an observation platform provides a 360-degree perspective of the region and houses a heritage sundial dating back to 1911. For those seeking a more rugged experience, the 'cliff face' area offers dramatic views and is a well-known spot for local rock climbers. It is a perfect quick stop for nature photography or a brisk morning hike before visiting the nearby Memorial Cross.

Camel's Hump is highly regarded by visitors for its accessible yet rewarding hiking experience in Mount Macedon. Reviewers frequently mention that while the path is steep, it is a short 20-minute return trip that most fitness levels can manage. The summit offers impressive panoramic views, with many pointing out the interesting 1911 heritage sundial located on the observation deck. Some visitors recommend exploring the 'cliff face' side for even better vistas, though caution is advised near the edges. The car park is noted to be small and can fill up early, especially on clear weekend mornings. Overall, it is considered an essential stop for anyone visiting the Macedon Ranges, often paired with a trip to the nearby Memorial Cross.
