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.

Friendly helpful hosts and a beautiful location. Though Site 1 isn’t suitable for tent camping as it’s along a cliff that drops off and doesn’t have any good spots to set up a tent besides right next to the road.

It was what we would expect of this type of campground. On the plus side the outhouses were very clean and on the neg side there could have been better signage.

CLEANEST PIT TOILETS EVER. Quiet. Don’t think you could pick a bad spot anywhere in the camp ground.

A wonderful campsite! Obviously beautiful scenery, our campsite offered views of the forest and the bay. Friendly and helpful camp host. There were vault toilets, but no hand sanitizer. Also no showers and no cell reception at the campsite. We drove a couple miles down the road back towards Martin City to get service, so not too far out of the way!

Emery Bay campground exceeded our expectations. The forest service and Camp host did a great job monitoring and maintaining the campground. The locals were very respectful to campers while enjoying the beautiful lake. It is a great location for daytrips to the East and West entrances to Glacier National Park. We enjoyed our shopping/dining trips to Columbia Falls. Hungry Horse dam is worth seeing. We really loved our trip to Two Medicine Lake in Glacier. It is 6 miles off highway 2. The first 3 miles are paved along a rural residential area. The second 3 miles is gravel, dusty dirt and bumpy so be sure to drive slow. I hope the Forest service will find money to pave those 3 miles to make it easier to get to and from the campground. We would definitely camp here again.

The 3 mile washboard road getting to the campsite was almost unbearable. The actual site was beautiful however

Exactly what we love about camping. Plenty of space between sites; nestled in the trees yet close enough to the water for a gorgeous camping experience.
