West End Campground

Wanted a campground with showers and cell service on our way west and this place had it! Safe, clean, and quiet on our one-night stay mid-week.

Many large sites

We stayed in OF 8, which has no hookups. The site, as is many around it, is huge. This site is nearest road so keep that in mind. Traffic was relatively quiet when we were there during weekday. Many sites have view of water although some are just peekaboo. Shade in many sites but not the big OF sites. Sites with hookups have nice paved pad. A few of these are really deluxe being off on their own with great views. Campground is not walking distance from lake. Lake is impressively HUGE. Nice fire ring at each site. Most sites appear to not be super level. We did fine in 8.

Beautiful Oasis

Nice campground. Spaces are fairly spacious. Some are almost private. Great hot showers. Nice to have mature trees too give shade. The Army Corps are obviously working constantly to improve the sites. Most are pull through, a bit tight to get in and out of with my 29' 5th wheel, will choose a back in in the future. I love that this campground is run as a first come first serve by only allowing day of reservations! A great model!

Really nice interpretive center free admission. We'll worth a visit. Marina nearby packed with fishermen. Play area is in the group camp area nearby.

Stay Here

Beautiful sunrise and sunset views from nearly each site. Clean restrooms w warm showers. The camp host clearly keeps the campground neat and picked up. Be sure to get your recreation.gov slot early as they fill up. I felt it was a treat to be there.

Good to know

If all the numbered sites are taken, they have an overflow area without hookups. We were here on a late June Saturday and it was full, except for the overflow.

Another Beautiful Spot On the Shores of the Fort Peck Reservoir!

This is a similar spot to other areas located around the reservoir in that it is wide open giving you that fantastic Montana Big Sky feeling.  During the week there's hardly anyone up here so there's a good chance you won't have any neighbors.  Each site has a fire ring and picnic table.  There are also vault toilets nearby and a fish cleaning station!

Very nice, clean.

This us a great campground. It's close to the water and other recreational areas. The kids ponds are great for young fishers.

Great spot on the lake!

There are several free campgrounds around the Fort Peck area. We stayed at West End which has three loops, toilets, fire rings and picnic tables. Dogs are welcome. Great views for sunrise/sunset here. It did get a little windy on the lake shore but other than that it was a nice quite spot. Several RVs there with boats if you can about that kind of noise.
