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.

My first time visiting Downstream. Linda was in the entrance building and assisted me with getting online to sign in for the campsite. I found the area very clean, well managed, and to my surprise, very few people were camping there. I was impressed with the staff, location, and for sure, it is a hidden gem.

Beautiful spot, very well maintained. Lots of hiking trails, and disc golf available right in the park. RV sites are level and good spacing for privacy.

Love the park and the hostess. The only that could make it better would be to have water to the sites.
