Base yourself in Glacier Country

Franz Josef TOP 10 is on the Franz Josef Highway in a landscaped setting beneath the surrounding mountains and forest. It offers camping alongside other accommodation types, making it a developed touring base rather than a backcountry campsite. A playground, jumping pillow and games room are listed for time spent at the park.

Choose your camping surface

The operator lists more than one hundred powered sites, with both concrete and grass surfaces. Non-powered and tent sites are also available around the grounds. Camping facilities include kitchens, dining space, showers, toilets and BBQ access, with laundry and a dump station also listed. Select a suitable surface for your setup rather than assuming that every powered pitch is grass.

Check current site availability, arrival instructions and the full quote with Franz Josef TOP 10 Holiday Park before travelling.
