Potters Pond Campground

Area Status: Open

Potters Pond Campground is located in a high mountain valley in Upper Joes Valley. It is next to two sparkling ponds at an elevation of 9,000 feet. Grasses and pine trees cover the area, and aspen trees dot the surrounding mountainsides. This campground offers a variety of campsites, including single, double and equestrian sites. Some sites have views of the ponds and most sites are shaded. The campsites are equipped with tables and campfire rings with grills. Vault toilets are provided, but there is no water, electricity or trash collection available within the campground. Visitors will need to bring their own water, as well as pack out all garbage. Roads and parking spurs within the campground are composed of dirt. The two Potters Ponds offer canoeing and fantastic fishing for rainbow trout, and there are many scenic views from the shore. Visitors to this campground also enjoy horseback riding, hiking and mountain biking in the area, as well as exploring the surrounding off-highway vehicle (OHV) trails. Additionally, the expansive Arapeen OHV Trail System can be accessed from the campground and has more than 350 miles of designated, well-maintained trails for OHVs that are suitable for all riding skill levels. The campground can be reached via the well-maintained dirt and gravel Miller Flat Road, which provides relatively easy access for cars and RVs.
