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 1.5 mi 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.

Very nice setting right on the Missouri River and behind the Fort Peck Dam, large trees for shade and extra large sites. Bathrooms and showers were clean and well taken care of. Nice walking/biking trails, fishing ponds and of course Fort Peck Reservoir. Paved flat sites, our was a back in with plenty of room, we didn’t have to unhook. Would definitely stay again.

This campground was really a pleasant surprise on our trip. The person that checked us in was extremely friendly and he provided us with a lot of interesting and useful information about the park and the surrounding area. We would definitely stay there again.

My only negative comment would be about the roads leading into the area from the south. They were in terrible condition and badly in need of repair...

Downstream Campground I the fall is the best. Things are quieter, and usually the weather isn't so brutal. We went twice after Labor Day this year.
