Russell TOP 10 Holiday Park
Superior Park
The only Holiday Park located in the Russell Township, gateway to the Bay of Islands, Russell TOP 10 Holiday Park offers a fantastic range of accommodation within easy walking distance to great restaurants, heritage buildings, walks, beaches and cruise departures. It's the perfect location for a relaxed holiday.
Our family-friendly Holiday Park is situated in central Russell, New Zealand's first capital and European settlement, and the perfect base to explore the Bay of Islands. Here in Russell, you’ll discover our fascinating history at every turn through our significant heritage buildings and historical sites. The beautiful Bay of Islands and Russell is a slice of holiday paradise unequalled in New Zealand. You’ll find a range of scenic beauties and recreational activities, in a warm, welcoming climate.
We have recently become dog-friendly (we do not accept any dogs during the Christmas / New Year School Holidays, nor over any long weekend). We ask that guests travelling with four-legged friends make themselves familiar with our dog-friendly policy prior to booking and arrival.
Russell TOP 10 Holiday Park features modern, self-contained studios, one and two-bedroom villas (previously called motels) and cabins (without bathrooms), for the budget-conscious. The majority of our cabins and villas are elevated to take advantage of the magnificent sea views and breezes that our beautiful location provides.
For recreational vehicles such as motor homes, caravans, camper trailers, campervans and tents, there are spacious multi-use unpowered grassy sites and fully powered, serviced sites. All sites are conveniently located to a large camp kitchen and amenities, with our premium powered sites featuring views over the Bay of Islands.
Russell TOP 10 Holiday Park is also New Zealand’s FIRST Smoke-Free Holiday Park.
Your host, Einnee, looks forward to your visit at Russell TOP 10 Holiday Park where kiwi calls can be heard at night and you can be confident of an authentic Kiwi welcome.

If you have your own transport there are two main ways to get to Russell, depending on how much time you have and your sense of adventure.
THE HIGHWAY
The most direct route is to take State Highway 1 from Auckland to Cape Reinga. About 45 minutes north of Whangarei at Kawakawa take SH11 to Opua, Paihia and Russell (via vehicle ferry). Although the road is windy, it is fully sealed and well signposted. At the top of the hill leading to Opua, turn right and head down to the vehicle ferry. On the other side (called Okiato) keep following the main road for approximately 7km to Russell. The road is fully sealed. Drive straight through the village along York Street. Turn right onto Wellington St/Long Beach Road, then left into James Street. Russell Top 10 is on the corner of Long Beach Road and James Street.
*A continuous vehicular ferry service operates during the day, with a reduced service in the evening, 365 days of the year. Bookings are not required and you pay cash on board. The ferry takes campervans, trucks and cars. The crossing takes approximately 10 minutes. Tickets are purchased on board - cash, EFTPOS or credit card facilities available
THE BYWAY
For a more scenic journey, take the Old Russell road, which turns right off SH1 at Whakapara, approximately 20 minutes north of Whangarei. Following signs for Oakura, take your time and enjoy the fully sealed road as it meanders around the coast. There are plenty of beautiful beaches and places to stop for a leisurely break. This route takes a little longer, but is more picturesque and avoids the cost of the vehicle ferry.
