Around 16km northeast of central Wellington, the Top 10 delivers the closest camping to the city. Family-friendly facilities include communal kitchens, a games room and a playground, but the industrial back-block location might leave you feeling a bit culturally barren. Follow the signs off SH2 for Petone and Seaview, or catch bus 83.
