What Guests Are Saying
Emery Bay Campground offers a beautiful location with great lake access, friendly and professional camp hosts, and well-maintained facilities including clean bathrooms. While the campground is peaceful and ideal for kayaking or paddleboarding, access involves a rough, unpaved road that can be challenging for some vehicles. Overall, visitors appreciate the serene environment, cleanliness, and the proximity to Glacier National Park, making it a popular choice despite minor inconveniences.

Everything I hoped for. 4+ miles of washboard potholed road made for a slow drive to campground. Level RV parking on a slope. Boat ramp parking made for easy beach access. No cell or wireless service

Had an amazing site right on the lake. We saw a cow moose teaching her calf how to swim. She took it way out the calf was hanging on to her with both front legs so very cool. The next day we saw a black bear with 3 cubs right across the water from us A fantastic overall experience

Man shot dead by sheriff deputy while we were here. Tried to cancel reservation and recreation.gov was going to refund $12. to me and take $18 for themselves. All that after paying them to make the reservation in the first place. You guys have a scheme and it’s not cool. The killing did happen.

The campground was very clean, including the vault toilets! The campground host greeted us upon arrival and chatted with us for a while. Very friendly. Will visit again!

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.

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
- Don't Move Firewood: Prevent the spread of tree-killing pests by obtaining firewood near your destination and burning it on-site. For more information visit dontmovefirewood.org.
