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.

The campground was beautiful as the trees were changing color, Because we were coming in late in the season midweek, we didn't figure we needed a reservation. Boy were we surprised! Luckily our campground host was able to walk me through getting a reservation via an app on my phone. We will call all COE campgrounds beforehand from now on to see if we need reservations.

It is a very pleasant setting with lots of room for camping and not being in someone's hip pocket. All the necessary amenities and great camp hosts that keep the place in tip top shape.

The website does not work that well. I had to make a new account because, it kept my other one locked. It said for thirty minutes, but it’s been weeks. It also would not let me choose two consecutive days, so I had to make two separate purchases for the weekend.
We really enjoy Kiwanis Park. We’re really disappointed that we have to make a reservation online to be able to camp there.

Beautifully maintained campground with comfortable spacing between sites. Very helpful campground managers. Pristine cottonwoods. Paved walking paths along the various waterways that were certainly wheelchair friendly. Very affordable. Just don't leave anything out for the raccoons at night!

The site was large with a large grass area. There is an Interpretive Center a short walk or bike ride away that shows a complete history of the area, a must see. The gate hosts were helpful and friendly.

We planned a family get together that was quite large. We also had family friends that were looking for camping areas over the 4th of July holiday. This site worked great.

We’ve stayed at the Downstream campground for many years
We’ve never had any problems.
We used to work at the downstream campground for C.O.E. They know us every time we come.
