Beautiful place with amazing wildlife! It's worth the trip, for sure.

The campground is small but sites offer good privacy. The campsites are clean and well maintained. Few campsites have river access. It’s a popular campground and fills up quickly. I saw some reviews mentioning that the last 14 miles of the road was very rough. I went in my Subaru Outback. The first 8 miles are pretty doable for any regular SUV. Where it gets really rough with potholes, washboard and rocks is the last 6 -7 miles of the road. It will be quite rough for an RV or a car but any vehicle will need to be careful in this section. There were roadwork in progress when I went and hopefully, the road might be better in the future.

Beautiful scenery, crystal clear water, abundant trout; what more could you ask for? Just a 2 hour drive from Billings, this is a must visit location. Take note that the drive up is EXTREMELY bumpy and slow going so don’t be in a hurry.

Had to turn around part of the way there, road was wayyyy too bumpy and put a hole in my tire. (Thank God for spares) Would recommend an off-road vehicle, Sonata could not make it!

We love Emerald lake and usually go in the winter And do a little ice fishing. It does get very windy though so plan accordingly.

This is probably my favorite camping/hiking area in the state. The scenery is gorgeous and the trails are well-marked and easy to traverse. If I had anything negative to say, it is that I have yet to catch a fish here. But hey, who's really at fault there?
