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.

Had a great time. For the 2nd year in a row, a Karen camp host stuck her nose where it didn't belong. All the other hosts were awesome.. Great place to stay.

Nice campground. Hosts are nice, not overbearing. Sites have nice separation. Facilities are clean. Nice visitor center facilities, walking trails, access to boating. Not the campgrounds fault but was overrun with black flies and grasshoppers. Like to think it was just luck of the draw and time of year. Would stay again.

I was told by the person on the phone at the reservation center that the site had water and electric, and it only had water and it was the last site available, so I think the amount I paid was too much for water only.

Very nice, quiet campground. The museum and interpretive center was very nice, especially if you have kids, don't miss it.

For the price of a nights stay it is well worth the money. Clean showers and bathrooms, power, great camping spots.

Great campground to stop at for the night. Very nice and well kept. Most of the people staying also had boats given the proximity to the reservoir. If that’s your thing, this is definitely a campground to consider. The dump/water fill station is located on the main road just outside the entrance and is very easy to access. There are also numerous water spigots located throughout the camping area. I would definitely stay here again next time I’m in the area.
