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.

Neighboring campsite was allowed to run a generator all night even though “quiet” hours start at 10pm. We couldn’t sleep all night.

Two days without electricity. Think I should get a refund or partial refund. Camp hosts were great very friendly even though it was nearing the end of the season. Showers, bathroom clean as usual, camp sites also clean and well maintained.

This stop was an overnight stay but the campground is great, site one was right by the camp host but site was VERY spacious and right across from the restrooms. It was a quiet evening/night. If you love boating the reservoir was nearby.
The only issue was the 50amp wasn’t working correctly (we were able to use 30amp without problems). We informed the camp host as we were leaving and he stated he would call for a fix.

We rode our E-Bikes on the trails in the park, across the Fort Peck Dam and to the Fort Peck Interpretive Center & Museum. The Museum was very good and free admission. As for the campsite, there were biting flies, so bring outdoor fly traps and/or bug spray. The campsite was very spacious, well kept and clean.

Love this campground! Always have such friendly staff and the grandkids love the miles of bike trails. Also love the ease getting from camp to the wonderful Fort Peck Theater - always a must see! Can’t wait to come back!
