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.

The initial site we booked was completed swarmed by mosquitoes and was inhabitable. When we spoke to the hosts about this they said there wasn't much they could do but we were welcome to drive around and see if there were any other sites available. We found another site but when we asked about moving we were told that national forest rules state we would have to pay AGAIN for the new site and would not get any money back for the other site as we had 'forfeited' it. We had no choice but to pay again.
Campground is in a nice location by a lake.

Loved staying at this campsite. Clean site and clean vault toilet bathroom. Sites are far enough apart from eachother and just steps down to a quiet lakefront with mountain views. So peaceful. The camp host greeted us at our site when we got there and were friendly and attentive through our stay. Short drive to GNP!

Beautiful, private sites, wonderful camp hosts, excellent view of and access to the reservoir, and close enough to town to get supplies and phone service within a short drive, but far enough away to really be in nature.

Emery Bay is beautiful but when we got there there was no campground host. Everyone in the park was looking for someone that knew anything. Some were looking for fire wood but the hosts that had left locked everything up. We couldn't even throw away our trash because they had locked the trash cans as well. There were alot of unhappy campers there due to this. We stayed one night and left.

The campsites are well maintained and easy to find. Comes with a big picnic table and fire pit. Quiet and gorgeous area and the lake is BEAUTIFUL. Would definitely go back. Dan, the camp host, was very nice and helpful! Went to Glacier National Park the next morning, it was about a 20min drive.

We did not realize that we had reserved a group spot. But we really like the fact that we had the whole site to our selves. The camp host was great. Really enjoyed the beautiful lake even though it did rain two of the three days we were there. Great access to Glacier National Park.

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
