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.

It’s a nice campground. However we found it to be overrun with trucks with boats and side by sides. So many campsites that hard several vehicles parked in them along with boats and ATV’s. We have been to a few COE parks and never have seen one like this with vehicles everywhere. There was plenty of other parking for those vehicles to be parked. Not sure why local management did not make them move.

We loved the campsite. The shelter with the big grill was amazing. Made our cooking so much easier. Wonderful campsite for small children. The only people in the campground was our family and we didn't have to worry about strangers or looking our for drivers. Nice trail down to the lake and some beach area to swim and play. Great weekend!
