Fox Glacier TOP 10 Holiday Park
Fox Glacier Top 10 Holiday Park is the perfect place to base yourself while exploring the stunning Glacier region.
Fox Glacier is the only place in New Zealand where you can do five short walks that lead through a stunning variety of landscapes, from glaciers to rainforests, from a wild West Coast beach to a mirror lake, all within 20 minutes of the holiday park! Release your adventurous spirit and thrill yourself with daring glacier walks, ice climbing and amazing scenic flights of the spectacular Fox Glacier.
Fox Glacier is considered to have a warm and temperate climate, however the region is known to receive high levels of rain with an average annual rainfall of 4051mm - that's over 4 metres of rain per year!
We offer a range of quality motel, self-contained and cabin accommodation as well as sites for campervans, caravans, RV's and tents. We welcome singles, couples, families and groups are our speciality. Our friendly reception staff are full of local knowledge and we offer a complete booking service - ask us first.

4.0/5
Nice campervan site and very friendly and helpful staff.
Good places to go for walks and of course if nature allows (it didn’t on this occasion😢😢) you can visit the glacier!

5.0/5
A really great kids playground.
Showers were roomy and no extra cost.
Facilities were clean and up to date.
Free wifi.

3.5/5
Good location if you’re interested in the nearby activities - some good hikes in the area including a lovely walk through a forest with glow worms.
Super friendly staff at check in, facilities are good but expensive - $12 for a load of laundry when everywhere else we’ve stayed has been $8. $30 for 2 people to use the hot tub for half an hour. Place lacked any charm, gravel sites really close to each other. We moved on after one day to the coast as it was just too rainy to do much. Overall fine but likely wouldn’t stay again.

Very clean; walking distance from the main area of the town.
Really good wifi in the unpowered camp area we were in.

- Understaffing.
Our first Holiday Park in NZ - but we're writing this review after having been to a number or TOP10 and others:
Pro:
- very friendly staff and atmosphere
- clean amenities
- Laundry price fair, DVD rent free, media room nice
Con:
- A toilet and shower block was closed due to understaffing
Well, certainly not their fault, but with consequences to service (timings)
- no spare equipment in the kitchen
You should expect the entire holiday park to empty during the day because everything in Fox Glacier can only be reached by car or helicopter.
we booked a powered site and were happy with everything.
The entire atmosphere was very friendly (unlike other holiday parks, especially those in cities).

+ top Lage + super netter Empfang beim Check in + relativ große Sites mit Picknicktisch + schönste und größte Campkitchen bislang - keine Bäume, kein Schatten, Womo heizt sich schnell auf - Duschwasser
wechselte ständig von heiß auf kalt, wenig entspannend
- extrem grelle Site-Beleuchtung, was dem Schlaf nicht förderlich war

1.5/5
Bel emplacement et bel cuisine mais On doit louer pour avoir de la vaisselle ce qui est disponible gratuitement dans d’autres camping (et il n’y a pas tout) On était sur l’emplacement non-powered, le
seul endroit qui n’est pas éclairé du camping (en temps de pluie et la nuit c’est pratique)
Et pour nous les toilettes étaient trop loin
C’est peut-être bien pour les campings-car mais pour les non-powered, on a l’impression d’être exclu
Le prix ne vaut absolument pas ce que on a eu
Beaucoup trop cher pour ce que c’est

Worst top 10 so far.
Small place to put your camper. Kitchen and bathroom were not cleaned properly, needed maintenance, as everything on this campsite. Way too expensive for what you get. Top 10 at Franz Joseph is better

A wonderful big campsite with lots of facilities we were able to use with knowledgeable and friendly staff!
Would highly recommend this campsite for everyone!
-
4.5/5
Big campground with good, clean facilities.
The sites were on the smaller side and not separated (more plantings would be nice), so it might feel cramped when busy.
-
4.5/5
Great campervan site.
Each site has own picnic table. Great facilities. Very clean. Kitchen is huge but has nothing in it. You have to supply everything down to pots utensils wash clothes. Very quiet at this time of year. Recommend Lake Matheson walk 10 minutes along road.

Great place overall to stay.
Excellent view of Mt Cook and the mountains if you’re lucky to have nice weather. No issues at all with bathrooms and cooking facilities.
-

A wonderful camp ground.
Really nice sites and great facilities, including a lovely outdoor kitchen for the unpowered sites. Everything is really well cared for. The spa is fabulous with a view of the mountains. Highly recommended!
-
5.0/5
A great place to stay near the glaciers.
We stayed two nights. Good kitchen and lounge facilities as well as a laundry room. About $20 per person for an unpowered site. A separate tv room with WiFi meant I was able to get some work done too!
-
5.0/5
Really lovely campsite, nice kitchen facilities, clean showers and toilets.
Was spring time when we stayed and it was a cold evening, they had a stove lighting in the kitchen which was so nice to sit at. Good facilities for doing laundry as well. The best campsite we have stayed in on our 2 week trip around the south island.
-
5.0/5
This is a fantastic caravan park - clean, fresh, tidy and well-positioned.
The bathrooms were immaculate, the communal kitchen and dining area were great, and laundry facilities cheap and new. The park facilities were well maintained. The township of Fox Glacier is lovely and I would recommend this caravan park if you're looking for a nice place to park up in town.

Great top 10.
Beautiful views of the mountains. Nice large pitches with great showers/facilities. Hot tub was bonus too! Helpful staff and close to some great walks- particularly lake mattheson

5.0/5
The site we were meant to be staying at fell through and luckily top 10 had a pitch.
Lovely clean warm showers. We didn't manage to go down the track to see the glow worms though

1.5/5
Literally the worst holiday park ive stayed in, in my 6 weeks in new zealand.
We stayed in a cabin that was $80 a night .it came with no bedding and well i think ive seen nicer prison cells. The walls very extremely thin. There was no were near enough cooking facilites for all the guests. Every kitchen was overcrowded. The campervan spots are so closed together with little privacy. It is sposed to be a superior park but i dont know how. The only reason i havent given it 1 is because it was clean and in a good location.
-
3.5/5
Hot showers, laundry, kitchen - it gets the job done, however the park is lacking in atmosphere and scenery.
The sites are pitched together so close, they feel more like a premium parking spot. Bathrooms were reasonably clean. Kitchen was clean as well but very packed and didn't even provide bins or tea towels. We found $50 a steep price for two people in an unpowered site quite close to the road.
-
5.0/5
Excellent facilities.
Very clean - & warm bathrooms. Only drawback was poor wifi connection. Obe if the best sites we stayed at in South Island
-
4.5/5
Great views by good weather.
Very friendly and helpful stuff. Super-clean bathrooms and kitchen.
Short walk to to an amazing glowworm forest. Close to lake matheson.
Hotpools and DVDs for bad weather available.
-
4.5/5
Another great top 10 site.
Great bathrooms and kitchen facilities. Close to Lake Matherson, town and the glacier access road. Can get busy, so the powered campervan sites can be noisy. Also air con/heating appliances in the nextdoor rooms could be heard.
-
5.0/5
Wel layed out facilities & friendly staff.
Bit expensive but log fire, incl showers & wifi is with it.
-
4.5/5
Very good place to stay and take a trip to the glacier.
Hot free showers, bathrooms and toilet clean and warm. Kitchen with enough cooking places and sinks. Nice BBQ area outside under the roof. Friendly and helpful staff. We stayed 1 night with our motorhome. For the second time in New Zealand and we will come back again.

0.5/5
Planned on staying here originally on a powered site, so glad we didn't.
We were lucky enough to find a great motel with power
We accidentally arrived here after doing the glacier/Matheson. After experiencing troubles with an air lock in our camper we followed signs to the 'public'!!!! Dump!!! Site!!!
Apparently they don't understand that dump sites advertised on road signs are publicly accessible.....
Anyway the owners haven't any compassion or manners for polite friendly people (me and my partner.) we were hastily ordered to leave. Had our waste pipe ripped out and were hounded by the lady (bitch) in charge.
Avoid this place!!!! Other places deserve your custom, unless you prefer the company of ass holes that is 👍
