Emery Bay Campground

Holy potholes. They should raise the rates of camping and use the money to repair the road because there are extreme potholes everywhere leading to the campground. The campsites were pretty standard. Only one or two really had a view of the lake. If I was in the area again, I would try a different campground.

10 miles of severe potholes

Absolutely gorgeous campground. Almost
Don’t want to review it to keep it a gem. Great hosts Amazing views and easy water access. Bad road to get there.

No flushed toilets, no showers near by. Rest everything great. Very near to Glacier entrance

Overall, it was nice to be fairly close to Glacier National Park, however our biggest complaints were the tent sites were too small and unlevel. We couldn't book the same site two nights in a row. The first night we were barely able to fit our 10' x 10' tent on the tent site. The second night we rolled into camp late and the tent site was too small for our tent and was on a big enough slope we couldn't set up our tent there. We planned to set up on the parking pad, but our tent requires it to be staked down and the paving used for the parking spots was too compact to stake down our tent. So we ended up looking for a hotel. In the middle of summer, that required us to drive 2-1/2 hours and pay $300 for a night. We were not happy! Another observation being there in July, we had noisy neighbors. It mostly seemed like other campers were there to be on the water boating and were up late.

The dusty dirt road was so intolerable we turned around and said no way!

Nice location to glacier, nice campsite layouts, and quiet at night.

If possible, get photos of campsite. The campsite we had didn’t have an actual tent area. No level spot in sight unless you want to pitch your tent on the driveway by the dusty road. However, campground area is nice and quiet and folks all adhered to the quiet hours. Would stay here again, but not campsite that doesn’t have tent pad or level area

Campground was clean and secluded. The camp spot was a little small.

BE AWARE- there is a campfire ban going on right now. Be prepared. Nowhere on this website does it mention this. If you are camping here, a propane grill is allowed. I would advise you to purchase one before coming to camp if you plan on doing any cooking. They are fairly cheap. Besides this, the campsite was great. It is along the lake and there is a nice little beach and a free boat dock to use. No running water at the campsite, so come prepared. It is a bit of a ride to get here down a bumpy gravel road, but any vehicle can make it through. No phone signal here for Verizon.
