Overview

Potters Pond Campground is located in a high mountain valley next to two scenic ponds, at an elevation of 8,900 feet. Visitors enjoy fishing, canoeing, horseback riding and exploring the surrounding off-road vehicle trails.

Recreation

The ponds offer great canoeing and rainbow trout fishing. Horseback riding, hiking and mountain biking are popular in the area as well.

The expansive Arapeen OHV Trail System can be accessed from the campground and has more than 350 miles of designated, well-maintained trails for off-road vehicles. The trails are suitable for all riding levels.

Facilities

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.

Sites 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 dirt. The campground can be reached via the well-maintained dirt and gravel Miller Flat Road, which provides relatively easy access for cars and RVs.

Natural Features

Potters Pond lies in Upper Joe's Valley in Central Utah. Pine trees and wild grasses cover the area, while aspens dot the surrounding mountainsides.

Great campground. A lot of wildlife. My wife and I enjoyed the whole weekend. The only bad thing is hardly anyone slows down through the campground. People doing 35 mph and up. Not safe for kids or pets if they don’t slow down.

Very nice area, fishing was fun for the kids. Spot 12 had a lot of space but close to the group site.

Been going to Potters for years. The campground was wonderful for my large family. It was clean and the fire pit was big enough. We left alot of wood for the next camper and fishing was great! The grandkids loved it.. Thank you

Potters Ponds are one of my favorite destinations for camping. The sites are beautiful & the bathrooms kept clean & stocked. Be sure to take your paddle boards, kayaks, etc for enjoying the water. We didn't fish this year, but when we have gone fishing in the past, we always brought home a couple nice size trout for dinner. Biking, ATVs & hiking are all great activities as well. There is always plenty of shade to be had in the sites & there is plenty of space between campsites. And, please, if you bring a dog, keep it leashed. We did have some dogs wander into our campsite from adjacent campsites. That would be the only thing I did not like about our stay. Fortunately they were friendly canines, but that is still not a welcome encounter for other campers.

The location is very beautiful for hiking and fishing. The campground offers the basic services such as picnic tables, fire ring and toilets. However, I didn't like the noise from the motorbikes and quads driving around the campground from early in the morning until late at night.
