My stay at Russell Top10 Holiday Park was fantastic! The location is perfect, just a short walk to beautiful beaches and the town center. The staff were accommodating and the facilities were excellent for all the activities I wanted to do. The only downside was that the camping sites could feel a bit snug for larger groups, but the community vibe was wonderful. I loved that I didn't need to use my car much during my stay.

My stay was pretty disappointing overall. The campground had a beautiful setting, and the playground was a hit with the kids, but we faced serious issues with drinking water which made our stay uncomfortable. The staff tried to be helpful, but the lack of solutions for the water situation was frustrating. The facilities were decent, but the overall experience was less than ideal considering the high price.

We had a wonderful stay at Russell Top Ten Holiday Park where the well-presented park facilities and friendly management contributed to our relaxing family getaway. The location provided stunning views, but we did face challenges with accessibility and limited water supply which detracted from our experience. Overall, it was a memorable trip with great entertainment for kids and comfortable accommodations.

Our recent stay at the Russell Top 10 Holiday Park was fantastic, exceeding our expectations for a holiday park. The accommodations were clean, warm, and well-equipped, with a supportive staff that provided great advice about local attractions. However, I did find the steep hill to the amenities somewhat inconvenient, especially when traveling with a little one. Overall, it's a wonderful spot for families, but accessing the facilities could be challenging due to the layout.

Our stay at this holiday park had its ups and downs. The kitchen cabin was tidy and offered everything we needed, plus the views were breathtaking. However, the steep terrain made it challenging for families with kids and there were some maintenance issues with the glamping tents that really dampened our experience.
