Information
Whanganui River TOP 10 Holiday Park
This beautiful family holiday park is located right on the banks of the Whanganui River.
Whether you need a top quality motel, self-contained accommodation, a simple cabin or a spot to pitch your tent or caravan, we've got something affordable for everyone!
With units accommodating between 1 and 7 people and 2 accessible units for those using wheelchairs or with mobility difficulties, our range will pleasantly surprise you.
We offer complimentary WiFi to all our guests. Free parking next to your cabin or motel. Netflix in all our deluxe units and SKY TV in the communal lounge. Peace and tranquillity of a riverside location mixed with the fun and activities you would expect from a quality Top 10 Holiday Park.
Our friendly, family park boasts great facilities and activities including: an outdoor swimming pool (heated to 30 degrees from September-Easter), a games room, jumping pillow, bouncy castle, 2 adventure playgrounds, trampoline, petanque, aviary, hammocks, slack line, TV room with 50+ Sky TV channels, large communal kitchen, dining and BBQ areas. Additionally, we have a fantastic communal family bathroom and an accessible shower room making life so much easier for our guests with young children or mobility difficulties.
For a hire we have: a private spa pool, trikes to ride around the park, kayaks to take out onto the Whanganui River and mountain bikes to take around town or on the local mountain bike tracks. If you fancy a run around or game of ball there is a large open field next to the park.
We have a boat ramp where you can launch your own boat or jet-ski or take out one of our kayaks. Or we can take you 5 or 8kms up river and you can make your own leisurely way back to the park by kayak taking in some of the fabulous scenery you just don't get to see by car.
Most of our accommodation has outdoor decking and seating areas, some of them with great views of the river, others where you can relax watching your children playing on the playground. There's plenty of picnic areas around the park, some shady, some sunny - you choose. Relax on a bench or blanket by the river and watch the Waimarie Paddle Steamer go by - we are the only holiday park to get a regular 'toot-toot' from an original paddle steamer as it passes right by our grounds!
And then there is Whanganui itself - there is so much to do in town and the surrounding area, you will not want to leave!

Great service from initial phone enquiry during and right up to leaving.I was on my own and fairly self sufficient and just needed a basic cabin in the area for 2 nights,but all immenities clean and all
systems put in place worked well for needs.I see it was great for all families, couples and individuals. Thanks ,next time will be more of my family.

We stayed here for two nights with our family campervan during our 9 week NZ trip.
The park is great, very friendly staff and owner, clean facilities, spacious, and the kids (2 and 4) loved the playground and jumping pillow. The parents were very fond of the barista coffee at the reception.
Our experience was a little negatively impacted by a) a large group of girls from a Wellington rowing club that practically took over the kitchen, jumping pillow and communal area and made a lot of noise til about 8 pm, and b) the day after two families that got together and were very loud (basically shouting) on the outside porch of the communal area til 9:30 pm and kept talking loudly til around midnight. It was a little short night as our kids wake up at 6:30. The communal area is located just next to the motorhome and caravan site area. It was spring (?) holidays.

Felt uncomfortable and cramped in on our 1st night because of the small cabin we stayed in and a mixed up with our booking?
C27 needs upgrade it's too small & the beds are worn out.
But thank God we moved in to a bigger/better cabin for 2 nights. Our kids had fun swimming and games room. Great friendly staff.

2.5/5
Good location beside the river, though a fair way out of town.
Van sites by the river rather cramped. Good facilities. But our visit was spoiled because they had a large youth group (rowers?), who monopolised the kitchens and the social areas

we stayed here in october 2015.
Hi Folks,
The campground is very spacious and the heated pool was just awesome with the slide. We had also the chance to rent the kidscar and the BBQ was just great.If I remember correctly this was with real fire. The facilities were good and clean. It was a very good experience, as expected by a Top Ten.
Cheers

A great place to stay with children or not.
We came here after our children selected this spot using the Rankers app. Best decision we ever made in New Zealand. The owner was extremely outgoing and kind, not to mention helpful, we met this random stranger who sent us the right way for warm showers, she used kind phrasing. Even the cleaner was nice! (She looked like the winter had left her very unhappy) very clean, they even have a free to play Xbox. I really could not ask for anything more than this. Don't miss it.

If you are only planning to stop for the night and have no kids I would skip this campsite since it is quite costly and crowded with playing childeren.
Quite far from town center.

Very well kept campground.
Kitchen facilities the best I have seen. Washrooms clean and good showers with lots of hot water. Only complaint is that the kitchen was locked in the morning and we had to wait until someone woke up the owners to get the code for the door lock.

I really enjoyed my stay at the TOP10 Park in Wanganui.
I stayed in a self-contained unit with a friend of mine and we had a lot of fun - especially in the heated pool and on the kayak trip the park also offers. The friendly staff was very helpful with planning our day in the Wanganui region. The park and its facilities are very clean and the river flowing directly next to it with the old paddle steamer made the stay really nice for us - If I ever come to New Zealand and Wanganui again I will stay there again :)

We have as a family with our grand children visited this park on several occasions and every time is like journey .....
perfect? no but if you want perfect going on holiday get yourself a 5 star hotel and 30+ staff at your beg and call. THIS is camping at it's very best not only the facilities at the grounds but what's on offer close by. You want to relax with the family this is it!!!
ps How do I vote for 11/10?

Too expensive for offerd service, don't waste your money here!!!!
Showers were closed untill 6 pm on the day we arrived, so couldn't take a shower. Had semilar experience 5 years ago and regret we returned to this campground.
Dear Hendrik, our showers are open 24/7, just imagine all the unhappy guests who will line up at our reception to complain if our showers were not open all the time!! :-) Not sure where on earth you tried to go for a shower!! :-)

Dissappointing for a 4+ park.
Facilities good but full of grass as they dont use a catcher.Only one washing machine.Swimming pool not clean.Didnt seem to know much about the local attractions.
Dear nztravel, thank you for your review of our park, we are really sorry that you stayed during the 2 days that 1 of the washing machines needed a bit of attention and had to be taken in to be repaired - it is back in full sevice again!! We care for our environment and therefore leave grass cuttings as natural fertiliser.
