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.
