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.

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.

Absolutely incredible, very peaceful place to stay at for the night, stargazing is awesome and the lake views in the morning is something i already miss. Would absolutely come back to this campground in the future

The camp host was helpful, views were excellent, campsites on top...a bit too close...lakeside was wonderful.

One thing, the extra vehicle charge I paid ($6/nightx4=$24) was an overcharge per the host at our next campground in MT. We had two roof top tents. I understand we should have been allowed one camper and one vehicle under National Park rules. It would be great if this could be credited to our account...which we will be sure use on our next adventure.

Our site #2 was very nice and secluded from other sites and had a view of the beautiful lake through the many trees. As far as campgrounds go, being right on the road was not the best for our pop top camper, since quite a few cars drive by WAY too fast and pretty close including two rude people who drove by at 1AM and 3:30AM with their headlights blaring and waking us up (I hope that is just an isolated case). The camp hosts never came to welcome us or tell us anything. We flagged the woman host down on day 2 to ask her some things - we never saw her husband Kevin. On day 1 the Day Users were at the marina which is close by the site with their very loud jet skis which were annoying. Day 2 was much quieter and we enjoyed that day of our stay very much. Our picnic table had a huge pizza size blob of some oily substance that was gross, so we never used the table. It should have been scrubbed off by the hosts in my opinion. All in all we will be back again to try this campground in the future since the lake is beautiful and location was great.

Excellent hosts - Kevin was so friendly and accommodating when we had a minor mishap in our reservation. Facility itself is minimal - no flush toilets and sinks, but well-maintained pit toilet and water taps are available. No cell and data service (was using an esim and tried Verizon and AT&T). Mind the long gravel road to access the campground from the main road. About 30 minutes drive away from the Western entry point of Glacier National Park, which was manageable distance from the park especially for early-risers.
A small plate with your name and reservation dates is placed by the campsite you have booked via Recreation to indicate your spot upon arrival.

We had a fantastic experience at Emery Bay campsite #4. We brought our paddle boards and our spot was as close as we could get to the boat launch. The tables are a solid fiberglass material, easy to clean and no cracks or splinters like the old wood picnic tables. Michelle (camp host) takes fantastic care of her grounds, I even noticed that she folded the toilet paper ends into a triangle in the bathrooms in the morning like a fancy hotel. Truly could not have asked for a better experience.

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
