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.

Love this campground, the boat dock, the beach, it's all there! The camp hosts were great, friendly and professional. I found a mulberry bush in the campsite. On the down side, theres about 3 miles of dirt road that is extremely bad with washboards. drive very slow through there especially campers. I think it's part of old hwy 2.

This was a wonderful campground. Very beautiful with the lake access and peaceful at times. Only thing is that the lake gets very loud during the day as its public access and lots of boaters, so it can get loud if your campsite is by the water. But still an awesome spot and the hosts are very friendly.

The campground is nice but the several mile unpaved road leading to it was incredibly full of potholes and super dusty. Unbeknownst to us the dust covered the solar panels on out trailer leading to our batteries completely draining. We will not return to Emery Bay.

The road is a landmine of potholes. The NFS has forgotten about maintaining it. The campground is good. Locals like to use it and can become noisy.

- 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
