What visitors say
Stayed on the touring park this weekend. Absoloutly beautiful location. Well established campsite in a quiet corner of this beautiful park. I think the pitches were all grass, it was dry this weekend so that was fine, there certainly wasn't any evidence that it gets wet (no muddy ruts) so it must be well drained. Its council run so doesnt have that personal touch. However it was clean and well organised. The booking system is a little odd in that you have to phone the council offices to make the booking, the call handler told me it was (probably) a hardstanding pitch (i got the impression he didnt know the park at all). But hey the system works and it is a lovely site. Toilets a little dated but clean and working and with indoor washing up sinks. What really makes this site is its location within this beautiful dare i say "romantic" country park weeping willows, lakeside walks of an evening and yet park runs and childrens playground at other times...well worth a visit if you like nature. Busier and noisier at the weekend (as you would expect) I arrived Thursday and had a whole section to myself...bliss. My dog certainly couldn't believe the number of rabbits! I will definitely go back and therefore highly recommend.

Emberton Park is a fantastic choice for families. There is an activity area and a playground, and children can enjoy cycling, riding scooters, and plenty of outdoor play. If you bring a gazebo, it’s also a lovely spot for a picnic. The café is great, with a wide range of food and drink options, including lunch boxes for children. Although, when it gets busy, there can be a wait for hot food. The staff are always lovely and friendly. Children can also feed the ducks at the lake. We usually spend around 4–5 hours there, and there is always plenty to keep everyone entertained.

Lovely Country park but can get silly busy on warm days or weekends. Lots for kids to do with numerous playgrounds. A great walk to be had if you circumnavigate the footpath around the lake(s). Takes about 20 minutes at a leisurely pace. Great staff, always helpful and friendly. MOST dog owners responsibly pick up their dog's 💩. But there's always going to be some who don't.. But, in general, the park is clean and safe.
