The biggest ones tend to be the ASV ones at Heathcote. I went to a Messier night there a few years back and there were over 250 there. Some of the ASV ones are only one night jobs, so if you want to stay longer than the designated "public" nights you must be an ASV member. VicSouth usually gets 50+ and the one back in November had over 80 registered.
Our Snake Valley get together is smallish. It is a fairly small site so we have a formal limit of 50. Over a 4 night period we often get around that number with people coming and going.
That said, I hope we run the friendliest camp in Vic! And while the facilities are basic, we always have hot showers, a full kitchen, meeting/dining room and we are only 30-40 mins out of Ballarat so easy to get to us or run into town for supplies.
