    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Nelson Creek - Fort Peck Lake

    Breathtaking star gazing

    When they say bring what you need they mean it. There are toilets, fire pits and picnic tables...no wood and no water. But the sunset, sunrise and star gazing surrounded by beautiful lakes is worth it! It is a 4-mile drive in on a dirt/gravel road, and mostly dirt road in the campground area, so if you don’t have four-wheel drive the rainy season might get tricky. Good camp sites for tents or R.V.s. Quiet when we were there (early Sept after Labor Day). Plenty of room—only a dozen R.V.s other than our tent and another van. Cows do roam through and coyote sing to you at night. We would stay again!

    Remote part of the lake

    20 miles down gravel, but highly trafficked still. But sandy beaches lining the camping areas. Great for animals and kids! Fire rings and plenty of sites, fishing access.

    Fort Peck Duck Creek

    Fantastic for Accessing the Lake and Checking out Fossils!

    This was my 2nd favorite spot that we visited other than the place we stayed at for the wedding.  First reason it was so great was because of the seclusion due to it being on the south side of Lake Ft. Peck and away from any city.  Be warned though you are pretty much on your own out here so be sure you have a full tank of gas before exploring.  The 2nd and arguable more important reason I loved this spot so much was due to it being surrounded by the Hell Creek Geologic Formation which has some of the highest concentration of vertebrate fossils in the world!  While it is illegal to take any vertebrate fossils you can get cool imprints of leaves and other invertebrate animals that lived right alongside the dinosaurs!

    Big Sky Country at its Best!

    This is one of the best places to take in that Big Sky that Montana is famous for!  The combination of the rolling hills that seem to go on forever and the reservoir make this a great spot to camp!  There are tons of opportunities to recreate in so many different ways!  At most of the grassy camping peninsulas you can launch your boat or SUP right into the water!  There are places where you can get some solitude and other places that are fit for a reunion or weekend party/getaway!

    Now getting to the actual campsites.  Most of them are relatively primitive with only a few fire rings and picnic tables scattered about.  The grassy peninsulas are also not really split into individual campsites and it feels more like a camping field.  This means that if its busy your neighbors will likely be right on top of you if you can't get one of the isolated spots.  There are vault toilets near most of the spots along with running water at the day-use areas.  Another great thing about these spots is the presence of a great fish cleaning station!  To get cheap gas and food head into the nearby town of Glasgow which will be at least $1 cheaper per gallon than the marina pumps

    Fort Peck Duck Creek

    Great all around access for boating and swimming

    Duck Creek has nice camping spots, with no hook ups, but does have picnic tables and fire pits.  Close access to nice boat ramp as well as easy access areas to the water for swimming, and fishing.  Adequate vault toilets in area as well.

    Paid camping in area as well, which offer hook ups and showers.

    Nelson Creek - Fort Peck Lake

    Boat ramp, picnic tables, fire rings and vault toilets.

    First come, first serve. One covered group shelter available but it's hard to get in the summer. Bring everything you'll need as nothing is available here. Great perfect jumping off point for fishermen with boats. Lots of wild life.

    Boat camping stop

    Pretty much just boating and fishing to do here. It’s a great stop along our boat camping trip along the Missouri (also accessible by car). Pros: some sites reserved for walk-ups, some sites close to docks, clean, outhouses, swimming. Cons: open and no privacy.

    Good jumping off point for canoeing/kayaks

    The campground itself is spacious and right on the creek. Flush toilets were appreciated. There is a boat launch as well, which weathered the rainstorm and was utilized by many other campers while we were there. Great spot for kayaking.

    One issue: it is very hard to get in when it rains if you don't have a 4WD vehicle. Road leading in was absolute mush.

    Inland Ocean

    Lake Fort Peck has more coastline than the state of California. It's huge. Not great for non-motorized boats. The lake can get super windy. Overall worth a visit. Campgrounds are fine. Near the water.
