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.

A very quiet campground with a STUNNING view! The camp host was very helpful, checking in on us our first day there. It's only about a 20 minute drive to West Glacier. Would stay here again!

Really nice little campground about a half hour from the West Glacier entrance to Glacier NP. We stayed the entire week. Close enough to bigger towns in case you need supplies, but overall pretty remote - most of that half-hour drive is along a dirt road off old Highway 2 to the reservoir. The reservoir itself is beautiful. Overall highly recommended as a base for Glacier if the campsites in the park have either filled up, are closed, or just aren't your cup of tea.

Campsites were spread out, quiet and the camp host was really accommodating. Great lake access.

One & done! Horrible access road, <10 mph & still beat the crap out of my RV. DUSTY, did I mention dusty? On the way to & inside the campground. Day use very noisy, unfortunately I reserved site 3 next to the busy boat ramp / day use area. Lake lice (jet ski) doing the "hey look at me" figure 8's all day. Never going back.

Hosts where great, sites where rustic but well kept. Apply bug spray liberally. GFi was spotty from the hwy and uncovered at the site.

Nice campground. Great location. The camp host was very friendly and helpful. Some weird characters use the campground for lake day-use. Our site was set up more for a trailer... no clearly defined tent area.
