About
Crooked Creek Campground sits on a scenic hill overlooking Fort Peck Lake, one of the largest reservoirs in the United States. Managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, this free campground offers 20 non-electric sites with basic amenities including picnic tables, fire rings, vault toilets, and a frost-free faucet providing potable water for tank filling. The recreation area features a boat ramp with dock, swimming beach, and group picnic shelter. The boat ramp availability fluctuates with lake water levels, which can vary significantly. A meat pole is available for fall hunting visitors. The nearby marina historically offered concessions and boat storage but services may be limited due to changing lake conditions. Reaching Crooked Creek requires a 52-mile drive from Winnett on a maintained all-weather gravel road. The remote location within the Charles M. Russell National Wildlife Refuge corridor offers opportunities for fishing, wildlife observation, and solitude far from crowds.
Directions
From Winnett, travel approximately 52 miles on maintained all-weather gravel road to the campground on the shore of Fort Peck Lake.
