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 camp host. Good quiet area to relax. My only issue was the speed of some of the vehicles was faster that posted. Speed bumps might do some good.

We came to the Fort Peck area to boondock at one of the popular areas there and were disappointed that they were full. We found Downstream campground while driving through and stopped in to see if the campground was full. It was not and we were able to book online for 1 night. The campground was very clean and well managed. We camped amongst a grove of cottonwood trees. It was beautiful!

Great campground, just beware of the raccoon army! They are organized and stealthy.. they wait to hear your zipper or door close and then go to work. They broke into all our heavy duty tubs and my husband had to chase them off. One of those furry butt heads ran on back legs to disappear with my creamer🤣. No hard feelings, just be prepared.
