    We really enjoyed the last site and set up of this park. We were close to the park and main showers and washroom was easily accessible from campsite. We enjoy way too much ice cream from the park store. Only a few dollars for a very large kiddie cone. They lend out discovery kits for the kids which included net, bucket, magnifying glass and a sheet of things to hunt for. Beach was nice, small and usually crowded but kids had a blast. Lots of docks to fish off of but lake was very shallow when we were there.

    Great park for family camping. I got the group camping with my friends. They have 3 spots for group camping and each camp site has its own outhouses , one for boy and one for girl. We got the #502 because the outhouses are in a separate spot next to the camping site, and there are lot of big trees for shading and privacy for all the tents ( don’t choose site #501, the outhouses are inside the campsite). The outhouses seem reasonably clean and there is a sink for you to wash your hand so bring hand soap. The park is well maintained and clean. The trails are easily and enjoyable to walk. The beach is quite big and clean but weedy. The playground is big enough for kids to play. There is a store selling camp fire wood, ices, ice cream, and souvenirs. They also have rental for kayaks and stand up paddle board. The bad things are they don’t have enough shower stations and charging station.

    Camped for a week in Emily PP with my wife, daughter and two grandchildren. Sites were really nice. Park staff I would have say could be the friendliest out of all the PP we have been to. Also very clean. Bathrooms were cleaned 3 or more times a day. The complete park was really well maintained. They also have really good ice-cream at park store. The one scoop cone was two all three time we got ice-cream. My only disappointment was not really good park programs during our stay.

    This park was especially enjoyable for nice soft and easy to navigate trails with a great canopy. You'll see in the photo with Rogue that there is on low water levels a secret path to an island in the middle of the marsh! Happily surprised how much actual trail there was too! Go enjoy!

    Went to this park just for the day. Limited options for trails around the lake, nothing spectacular, just a lake and two public beaches. The water on the first beach near the entrance was not very attractive, nobody was going in. The other beach was a bit better and bigger, with better access for boats.

    We had a fantastic weekend camping in Emily Provincial Park with my family and friends. The RV campsites were really nice, and we enjoyed our time there. The park staff were friendly. While the bathrooms were cleaned regularly, they weren't as great as the ones in Presqu'ile Provincial Park or Algonquin Provincial Park. One thing that stood out to us was how well-maintained the entire park was. The trails, although small, were well-maintained, and we had a pleasant time exploring them. The beach was also small but enjoyable. Another highlight was the park store, which had delicious ice cream. The location of the park was excellent, and we were pleased to find that there were stores nearby for any shopping needs. We didn't have to worry about running out of supplies or essentials during our stay. However, our only disappointment during our time at the park was that there was a power outage, resulting in the water supply being shut down. As a result, all the washrooms with running water were closed. Additionally, the dumping station was also closed, which was inconvenient for us as we had an RV. We had to drive to Darlington Park to dump our RV tanks, which was an unexpected inconvenience. Overall, despite the temporary challenges with the water supply and RV dumping, we had a great camping experience at Emily Provincial Park. It was a memorable weekend with our loved ones.

    Beautiful and nicely maintained. Washroom are those composting one but you can visit the store for usual ones. I would recommend kayaking over canoeing. Do carry bugs spray, camping lights and table tent.

    Great park, can be quite busy as anything close to the city . Park wardens do a good job at keeping the peace , but sometimes you get certain groups of people who think they are the main characters, and blast their music . Not parks fault though . Also ice cream is the best I’ve had in a long time . Make sure to grab some .

    Had such an amazing time here, the park is quiet at night allowing you to fully enjoy the sounds of nature that is complemented by the beautiful night sky. During the day the park offers lots of amenities like trails to explore, water rentals and a shop with some camping needs and soveniers.

    Beautiful place. My kids got to do a free lesson on fishing. Staff was kind and friendly, Beach wasn't crowded. Tenting lots were a great size and nicely laid out for privacy. Only removed one star because when the power went out the rangers locked all the washrooms and was too late and too dark to go find an outhouse

    This is an amazing provincial park. The staff are by far the friendliest I've seen. They all seem to enjoy their jobs and are happy to be there. The park and facilities are spotless and all of the amenities are up to date and functioning perfectly. This will be a yearly visit for our family. Thanks for the great memories.

    Wonderful park, sites are very big, nicely spaced and clean. Park has a nice community feel, unlike some other bigger parks. Staff were pleasant. Beach was clean and large. Comfort stations were very clean and easy to find. My 14 year old blind dog had a very nice time. Would come back again. Only thing keeping this from a 5 ⭐️ was the bathrooms in cedar, very stinky and gross, but I'm in the outdoors not everything can be a 5 star villa.

    Beautiful park! The boats on the lake can get a little noisy but we went in the fall and it wasn’t a huge issue I would imagine in the summer it’s much louder, overall really nice sites! Clean amenities. Nice small park

    Very nice provincial park, good size beach for the kids, good boating waters, but be careful of the weeds, quite a few in areas. Nice for canoes and kayaks, place for kids to learn fishing. Sites are pretty big, but some will have careful placement of trailers. Some good trails for hiking or bike. Plus the Trans Canada Trail is nearby.

    Beautiful park! Very clean and well kept park. No pesky raccoons. Beach was spacious, water was clear and clea. Had a nice boat launch and docks for kayaks.

    Our very first camping exeperience. Emily Provincial Park didn’t disappoint us. Although we had a combination of sunny and rainy weather,you can do a lot of things. Washroom and Shower area are clean. Definitely will go back with more family and friends.
