About Downstream (MT)

Downstream Campground is located just below Fort Peck Dam on the Missouri River in northeastern Montana. Recreation enthusiasts and sportsmen enjoy the beauty of Fort Peck Lake's 1,500 miles of shoreline. A variety of high quality outdoor activities are available, including camping, boating, fishing, hunting, sightseeing and wildlife viewing.  Fort Peck Dam, which impounds Fort Peck Lake is the first dam built in the upper Missouri River Basin. The area surrounding Fort Peck was first charted by Lewis and Clark in 1804, and the pristine natural condition of the river and surrounding area awed the renowned explorers. When President Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized the Fort Peck project in 1933, thousands of people from all over the country migrated to Montana during the midst of the Great Depression in hopes of earning a living. Today, Fort Peck Lake is a sportsman's paradise with excellent fishing, wildlife viewing and other countless outdoor recreation opportunities.   For more information, visit the Fort Peck Project Website or call 406-526-3411.

This is a great campground. The sites are level and spacious, the people friendly - the museum and town are just around the corner. You can explore the WPA town of Fort Peck.

Big spacious and partially shady sites, great biking trails, beautiful views across the Missouri River, etc. The museum was unfortunately closed as we were there during the week, but the stay was very pleasant even though short, and the host at the entrance/register was extremely helpful; the entire experience was wonderful. Certainly would love to come back again.

Had to give a rating to get here. Can't give a rating, due to not being able to make it there, due to family health issues.

It was a nice campground most of the people working were volunteers, nice folks. Wasn't able to tour the Dam or visitors area due to low staffing/budget cuts but we will come back again. It was very hot 100+ ° F and the black flys where out in force but once we got some fly traps it was manageable
