There’s a lot of work that happens behind the scenes at a TOP 10 Holiday Park. There’s toilets to be scrubbed, lawns to be mowed, hedges to be trimmed, beds to be made, and the list goes on. Running a holiday park is certainly no walk in the park... excuse the pun. But our dedicated group of staff wake up every day and work hard to try and give you the very best experiences.
We’d like to take a moment to recognise and thank the park staff, managers and owners who work so hard to make your stay so enjoyable. We’re thankful every day for their ongoing enthusiasm and commitment to helping you create memories for you.
Once a year we also take the time to recognise the fabulous achievements of a handful of individual parks within the group who have risen above the rest. At our annual awards night in October we celebrate the contributions of several outstanding TOP 10 Holiday Parks. Competition was tough, but we’d like to recognise the following parks for coming out on top. Congratulations for your fabulous achievements. You deserve every bit!
