Emerald Bay State Park Boat In campground has 21 (tent-only) campsites and is located on the north side of Emerald Bay, at the site of the old Emerald Bay Resort. Buoys are available, and camping takes place on land. All 21 sites are just a few steps from the lake but only sites 21 and 22 are lakefront.

The Boat In campground is open late May through September. Memorial Day weekend camping is first-come, first-serve and other dates are by reservation.

There is no designated boat launch area in Emerald Bay or at D.L. Bliss State Park.  Boat campers with reservations may launch non-motorized vessels at D.L. Bliss (Lester Beach) and may park their vehicle overnight in the Balancing Rock overflow parking lot with a valid camping receipt displayed. It’s about a 4-5 mile paddle from Lester Beach to Boat Camp. Vehicles may not park overnight at the Emerald Bay Vikingsholm Parking lot or at the D.L. Bliss State Park beach lot (Calawee Cove/ Lester Beach).  It is approximatley 3/4 of a mile from the overflow lot to beach access.
