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.

We absolutely love staying there! The camp host was super nice, kind, with always a smile.

We have been disappointed that some of the trails have become run down & cat tails have over grown the fishing ponds. When my kids were little they fished in those ponds for years. They are 24 & 21 now.

Thank you. Will are looking forward to a trip back up for Labor Day.

Tent site, but was large enough for me to put my small (15ft) camper trailer there. Water spigot for tent area I was in was not apparent and I felt there should have been something closer.

Love this campground. Lots of room between sites. Quiet at night. Clean facilities. Friendly personnel. Fun to learn about the history of the dam. Protected from the weather. Great location for a fishing camp.

Perfect experience. Bathrooms and showers, electricity and a great playground area for the kids. My youngest daughter caught her first fish here! A great time.
