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.

Our family group has been coming to Downstream for years, and we love it. The only unfortunate part is now having to make our reservations in February.
Will you ever re open a walk in loop?

Large campsites. Quiet even though campground was quite full some nights. Provides book and movie exchange. Lots of walking or biking trails. Fort Peck close by easy bike ride away. Attended Fort Peck play which runs weekends throughout the summer. Bathrooms clean and well stocked. Showers available. Would like to have activity board of local happenings (such as the play). Also daily weather report would be most helpful. Check in is organized, quick and easy. Staff friendly and available for questions.

The campground itself is very nice and well maintained. The staff are friendly and helpful. My complaint is that the power was out for 4 of the days we stayed there, it was a planned outage and I got an email about it the night before I arrived. They refunded me $20 (total) for the power being out but if I wanted to camp without power I would have stayed on the lake somewhere free or cheaper. The staff on site was very helpful and tried to do everything they could to help everyone out, but they are mostly volunteers. The manager (Pam I think) was very helpful and friendly. Overall it’s a great place to stay, we just happened to go at a bad time.

We love the variety of activities for our family - the playgrounds, nature path, fishing ponds! We love the nearby beach and close access to Fort Peck to take in a show!

The fires in Canada made the air quality in the campgrounds dangerous. Should have been a ban on campfires during that time.
