Nelson Creek - Fort Peck Lake

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!

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!

If you are looking for a quiet getaway with a camping spot on the lake,this is it. No services except vault toilets, picnic tables, fire pits and boat launches Fantastic sunsets. Will go again.

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.
