    Fort Peck Duck Creek

    Short Stop in Montana

    This was the first place we tried in this area for a free spot to camp on the way from Banff/Jasper to Wisconsin. It was decently busy with a few spots left when we arrived at 2:30pm on a Saturday. By the end of the night all the spots were filled with people squeezing their rigs in between “sites”. There are numbered picnic tables and fire rings, but also campers dispersed throughout. You can walk right down to the water and there were plenty of people boating and swimming. Vault toilets were clean, no other amenities. Sunset was beautiful! There were some large groups with multiple RVs together and 5+ cars- it looked like they had been there for a while. I didn’t have any trouble sleeping but my boyfriend said there were generators running all night and some fireworks around 11:30p. Overall felt safe, worked for what we needed, and was free!

    Fort Peck Duck Creek

    Quiet and on the water

    Good area for car camping. There are multiple sites (first come first serve) down a gravel road right on the water. There are picnic tables, fire rings, and a pit toilet. Little privacy but nice views of the water. Also depending on the time of year, there were a lot of crickets and small little chiggers biting skin.

    Hell Creek Receation Area

    Great if you have a truck

    Notd that this campground has changed management and so is now technically the Hell Creek Recreation Area, so if Google maps tells you it's closed don't worry about it! You'll still get to the right place.

    Other reviewers were not exaggerating about the road to get there. It was 20 miles of bumpy gravel road, took us 1.5 hours to get over and our motorhome hated every second of it. It was absolutely stunning though, and I have to imagine that if we hadn't been in a motorhome we might have felt very differently.

    Only electricity at our site, very limited shared water source, and the showers were coin operated. The staff person there was so nice and welcoming.

    So, if you have a vehicle that can handle a difficult road and you're willing to rough it a tiny bit, I would definitely recommend this place. If not, maybe skip it for now.

    Duck Creek

    Free on the water

    Great free little campground, very busy on weekends with lots of local traffic. Some spots had shad some didn't, pit toilets. Free Dump and fill outside the Downstream campground.

    Old Dorm RV

    Good location & quiet

    Sites aren’t that level, deep gravel. There was a bit of trash strewn around but its quiet and in a good location. I backed in my van and had a view of horses grazing in a field near an old barn…along with a bit of backyard junkyards but that’s the nature of this remote small town. I could walk to everything, the owner was very kind and it was easy to access and had full hookups. Great stay while I visited family.

    Duck Creek

    Lots of elbow room

    Lots of space between campsites. But, being central Montana, there are almost no trees or brush. So, there is no privacy.

    There is another campsite half a mile west that is set down in a private hollow. No table but really nice if you can do without.

    Good light show... ??
    Clear sky and full moon. Suddenly I saw the brightest meteor I have ever seen streak 3/4 way across sky. Brighter than the full moon. WOW! Do they do this light show every night or was this done just for me?

    McGuire Creek

    Camp area rather than true campground

    Not the best road going in, vault toilets in area, some picnic table, fire pit spots.  Great fishing and swimming.

    Rock Creek Marina

    Hard to find camping spot

    Nice little area on Fort Peck offering a marina and services, however area is small and very congested. Fills up fast.. Swimming and boating access.

    Nelson Creek - Fort Peck Lake

    Great views! ROUGH ROAD

    Rustic sites, no facilities other than vault toilets.  Offer picnic tables and fire pits but sites are not numbered, only roads.  Great swimming and boating access.

    Road is rough!  Full of washboard so unless he want to ruin your equipment, drive slowly!
