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.

Campground was excellent, only negative was the extremely rough road getting to it, but site and lake made it worth it

Beautiful spot, close to glacier, but someone stole our lantern and solar shower. Not cool.

Fantastic host at Emery Bay. Frank was friendly, helpful and kept the camp clean and organized. Small campground, and lucky enough to have a site with direct access to beautiful reservoir/ lake.

The host family was super nice, good facilities, and great location. The campsites were pretty spread apart, so while we were camping in a busy spot, it felt like we were alone.

Large campsites especially for a tent which we were using. Right on the water so could easily launch a kayak from the site. Hosts were helpful. The only downside I guess would be the dirt road coming in would probably be terrible for a car, and our site was right next to day use site so people were walking by the tent to get to the water, not a huge deal, but I could see some people getting upset about that.

We had a beautiful spot on the lake (#7). The lake was super nice with very few boaters and a beautiful emerald color! We kayaked the lake for two and a half hours and didn't come close to getting around any of it.... It is really huge. The host was exceptionally nice and helpful. Besides the washboard road for 4 miles to access the campground, everything else was perfect!

It was a decent site. Cute and with easy access to take a dip in the resevoir. Woudl recommend it for a stop before entering Glacier National Park, and only a stoip, as there is not much to do/ see in the area it woudl seem

Group B site was good, the best part was a shared spot between group A and B that we got to use since no one was using group A site during our stay. It was a nice secluded spot with nice grass and good shade in the morning and evening. The boat dock was close and very few boats on the reservoir. We had a great time!

We were never able to get to this campground as the road that gave you the shortest access was closed and the alternate route was not suitable to a class C. No refund because it was less than 24 hours. That should have been an alert on this website.

- 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
