West End Tent and Trailer Campground is nestled on a hill on the north shore of Fort Peck Lake. The campground features 13 campsites with electrical hook-ups as well as an overflow section. West End Tent and Trailer tends to be quieter than our main campground and is popular with fishermen thanks to its proximity to a few boat ramps.

Roosevelt authorized the Fort Peck project in 1933, thousands of people from all over the country migrated to Montana during the midst of the Great Depression in hopes of earning a living. Today, Fort Peck Lake is a sportsman's paradise with excellent fishing, wildlife viewing and other countless outdoor recreation opportunities. Each of the 13 designated campsites has electrical hookups available as well as a picnic table and fire ring. Some of the overflow campsites have picnic tables and fire rings. Shower facilities with flush toilets are found within the campground as well as a vault toilet. There are water spigots available throughout the campground and a dump station is located approximately 5 miles away near the Downstream Campground.
