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 an A+ place to stay. Fun place to investigate the area on bikes. Campground has shade and very level. Showers are brand new and so nice. Good evening program on bats. Very busy on weekends.

What a great place to camp and hangout, miles of paved nature trails for walking and biking. Newer and clean restrooms and showers. Only minor quibble was camping spot was paved but far from level. Visitor center seems underutilized by the public, don't know why, it is well laid out, well presented and very educational. Nothing to do with the campground itself, but there is no good way of getting to Fort Peck from the south. Even by Montana standards, I've lived here for over 60 years, the roads are terrible.

This is a big, well kept, clean campground. There is a lot to do such as bike riding, water sports, or disc golf. The campground was kept clean and campers were respectful of each other.
The only downside is the main grocery store is 18 miles away in Glasgow but it’s an interesting town.

A beautiful open space with some trees to offer up some shade. Large lots, easy access to small and large bodies of water.

Only stayed a night and was self-contained. Overall, extremely well maintained and helpful staff!

What a serene place! Flat area at the base of the dam. Large grassy area with tall trees for shade. We stayed about a week due to sickness. it was a wonderful place to stay & just look out the window. It's been about 6 weeks & many campgrounds ago that we were here but as I vaguely recall the bath house was new & clean. We were here before 'the season' & in the middle of the week. The CG may become more active during the weekend.
