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.

Great camping spot. We loved it. About 30-40 minutes away from Glacier National Park.

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.

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

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.

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!

There was trash everywhere . In my camp spot and in the one next to me as well as our friends spot. We spent most the time picking up trash. For $18 a night I would expect that to be at least done. I’ve been camping up there for 20 years and always thought it was a beautiful place but was very disappointed this time. We need to keep people a accountable that camp there.

This is a beautiful campground that has access to the lake. There are quite a few bugs here, so I recommend bringing extra bug spray.

The lake is beautiful, campsites are just the right distance away from each other, they also sell firewood which was clutch

We got in late and left early so we didn't see much but the spots were nice, if you're camping here bring lots of bug spray!

- 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
