About this campground

Downstream Campground in Fort Peck Montana provides primitive and partial (electric) hookup RV and tent camping sites under a cottonwood canopy of trees. Excellent fishing and shade from summer heat make this US Corp of Engineers park a popular place to stay. Downstream Campground offers 85 family campsites, 70 of which have electrical hookups; 15 sites are tent-only. One large group campsite is available with electrical hookups. Seven day-use picnic shelters are available for reservations, all with electrical hookups. The campground offers flush and vault toilets, showers, playgrounds, a basketball court and horseshoe pits. A dump station and fish cleaning station are located on-site. West End Tent & Trailer is located nearby, providing additional campsites on a first come, first served basis. 13 sites have 30-amp electrical hookups; overflow sites are non-electric.

What campers say

The campground sits near Fort Peck Dam and offers scenic lake, river and prairie views with paved walking and bike trails. Sites are roomy and well spaced for RVs and tents; electric (30‑amp) hookups are provided, with water fill stations and a double‑lane dump. Shower houses and vault toilets are onsite, and staff are friendly and helpful. Wildlife such as deer is commonly seen. Practical tradeoffs include no 50‑amp or full hookups, occasional crowding and limited site privacy at busy times, and the nearest stores or gas stations are roughly 15–30 miles away.
