What Guests Are Saying

Emery Bay Campground offers stunning access to Hungry Horse Reservoir and is a serene alternative to the crowded campgrounds in Glacier National Park, just 20 minutes away. The campground is well-maintained with spacious, beautiful sites and friendly hosts who provide excellent service. While the access road is rough and some sites experience day-use traffic, campers appreciate the peaceful atmosphere, cleanliness, and the opportunity for activities like paddle boarding and swimming in the lake.

The campground has amazing access to Hungry Horse Reservoir. It also was a great alternative to camping at the very crowded campgrounds of Glacier National Park. The campground was only twenty minutes from the entrance to Glacier National Park. Paddle boarding the lake was awesome.

Smaller , quiet campground ( we were there in September). Sites available right on the beautiful Hungry Horse reservoir. Good access to Glacier and nearby cities.

Beautiful location, road going in was very rough on our single axel trailer but overall worth it. Would want to spend a week next time.

Nice experience, outhouse was clean and actually not a negative smell (rare). Wood was there left by the previous campers. Nice set up for a group site.

Wonderful visit. Campground was well kept and maintained, People were respectful and kept the noise down. Lake was wonderful to swim in. Only complaint was the squirrel that kept wanting to drop pinecones on my truck, LOL.

General

  • If a site is not available for reservation online, it is shown as a first-come, first-served (FF) or walk-in (W) site. These sites will be identified at the campground on maps and campsite post markers with a W. First-come, First-served sites may already be taken as this cannot be updated on the Recreation.gov website. You may try to call for availability.
  • Reserved sites will be held until the day following your arrival date. Sites must be occupied by the checkout time of that following day to hold a reservation or the site will be forfeited and released.
  • We do not allow reservation holders to change campsites and move to a Walk-up campsite upon arrival. Most of our campsites are available for advanced reservations, and you must occupy the site you reserve.
  •  You are allowed 2 passenger vehicles per site, the first vehicle is included in the site fee and an extra vehicle charge of $5.00/vehicle per night will be collected at the campground. Sites that are identified as double occupancy can accommodate an additional camping unit. In this situation, you will be charged for each camper.
  • Potable water is available for filling containers after June 1st. Please fill RVs prior to arrival, as water is hauled by truck to campground.
  • There is now a 10 day stay limit on all Group sites, starting in 2022.
  • Drop Camping is illegal without a Forest Service permit. If you rent a camper it may not be delivered by the owner.
  • There is a food storage order in effect on the Flathead National Forest. Know how to store all attractants all the time. See your Campground Host for more information or visit: https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/flathead/recreation/?cid=stelprdb5347448
