    Very friendly & helpful reception.

    Lovely green park with lots of trees & hedges making it very attractive. Toilets & showers are sooooo CLEAN ! Good, free showers (though did need to keep adjusting the hot&cold). Excelllent kitchen & dining areas. A few mins drive to town or penguins. Very recommended.

    Incredibly friendly staff.

    Very nice accommodations. Spacious bath rooms, kitchen, TV room. Kitchen was well equipped and all rooms were heated. Unfortunately the bathrooms/showers were a little dirty in the morning until long after checkout. In the evening, however, they were a welcome surprise: Big, clean and comfortably warm.

    spacious park and great facilities, sparkling kitchen and good shower place.

    My wife and kids even had a hot bath. The park is very kids friendly, with great playgrounds and jumping pillows. The staffs were really helpful when we had issue dumping our grey water and connecting fresh water. Had a fantastic stay, will go back.

    Wonderful camp.

    So far, this is the best camp we had.

    Great kitchen, near the bouncing pillow, so we can cook and watch our son at the same time.

    Excellent shower facilities, and good separation between campers.

    The best Top 10 on my trip.

    Somehow this site was more cozier than others. Kitchens very clean and more spacious, and you could use all the pots and pans needed.

    Another great Top 10 park.

    Located in suburban streets, walking distance to supermarkets and fast food. Very large powered sites had good separation from other motorhomes and campers. Clean and modern facilities with a large TV lounge, clean and large kitchen with a herb garden. Playground has a giant jumping pillow. Management are friendly and helpful, and do a great $2.50 coffee for club members.

    The Timaru Top 10 is the best!

    All facilities are clean and warm, under-floor heating in the bathrooms with hair dryer, no timers for hot water showers (that are also free), plenty of utensils and crockery to use in the kitchen without fee, free DVDs and DVD player (both personal and one you can hook up to the TV in TV room) for borrow from reception, lovely 20-min walk to Caroline Bay (one of the top 10 beaches in NZ), and free 100mb of WiFi but also cheap paid wifi ($5 for 1gb). Also there's a Pak n Save a short 5-10 minute walk away as well as plenty of fast food options. Very friendly staff. Only con was muddy ground but that's what we get for camping in winter!

    Really great location.

    Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Quiet and peaceful night. Pristine bathrooms kept beautifully cosy and warm with a heater all through the night! Lovely hot showers too. Kitchen looked awesome but we didn't need to use it. Wish we had time to stay longer. Reception gave us great travelling advice which we took and it couldn't have given us a greater days sightseeing. Thank you. Highly recommend this place!

    Would have been a 10 if they'd had a view but only freecamp sites seem to have amazing views in NZ.

    This was the best Top 10 we stayed in during our 8 weeks in NZ: friendly staff, clean facilities, no timer/coins for shower, warm laundry possible instead of cold wash only, and good WiFi.
