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 wonderful campground. Lots of trees, friendly camp hosts. Paved sites. Everything is impeccably clean. The dam and the interpretive center are fascinating! Do stay here if you’re in the area.

The person taking care of the bathrooms did an excellent job. The people using the men's pit toilet need a lesson in good hygiene, however.
We loved the many birds, and enjoyed kayaking under the bridge to view the heron nests.
The campground was well-maintained and friendly.
