About this campground

Fourchette Creek- Lake Fort Peck

Fourchette Creek Campground on Lake Fort Peck in Montana offers both established sites and dispersed camping. No reservations or permits are required, and camping is free. Amenities include vault toilets, fire rings, picnic tables, and a boat ramp, but no drinking water or hookups—so come prepared. RVs can access the area, though sites are primitive. The vibe is remote and peaceful, with sweeping prairie and lakeside views. It’s ideal for boating, fishing, wildlife viewing, and stargazing. Nearby, explore the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge. Best visited late spring through fall, when weather is mild and lake levels are ideal.
