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.

Beautiful campground with large shaded spaces. Super clean bathrooms, friendly staff. Just there for a quick stopover while driving the hi-line west toward home. Definitely on my list for the future. Glasgow has cool old downtown area, worth the stop.

Great night on the road to out west. Guard at check in was very friendly and informative. Nice, clean park with easy access to site. Stayed until 9 a.m. so we could visit the interpretive museum at the dam on our way out. Well worth it!!!

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.
