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.

We enjoyed our stay. The site was of nice size, FHU. The showers/bathroom/laundry were located all together in a building with a pushbutton combo lock. All
we’re very clean W/D was $2.50 each. Shelby is a small
town w some boxing history and a beautiful veterans park . Cannot beat the price if a passport america member. I highly suggest & would stay again!

Good level sites, nice camp host, plenty of space between sites. There was a crazy thunderstorm with a lot of rain, but there was no wind so we were able to stay out under the awning. Site did not get muddy, so it's fairly well drained.

We only stayed one night, but the park is beautiful. There is ample room between sites. The power was solid. I can’t say enough about the camp hosts. They were amazing. Such nice and helpful people.
