Potters Pond

Nice clean campsite

We were blown away at how tranquil and beautiful the surroundings are at Potters Pond Campground. The abundant trees and brush truly make one feel like they are a million miles away from home. The journey to the campground starts at Millers Flat Road which is a dirt road that is for the most part well groomed/maintained. It is very bumpy, but can be done with most vehicles. We were towing our 24' TT so we were going slow. It is about 8.3 miles of dirt road to the campground from UT 31. The sites are spaced far enough from each other which gives you plenty of room to spread out and relax. The short walk to the pond is easy and you will appreciate the stillness of the water. Most people were either fishing or enjoying the pond on a row boat. Not 100% sure if the pond is okay to swim in as there are no signage and the presence of blue algae is apparent. Potters Pond is part of the USDA national forest and is wide open and plenty of trails to hike/bike. The campground is adjacent to the Appain Trails where one has access to 300+ miles of off-road enjoyment.

The campground does not have any potable water or any services. There are vault toilets spread out throughout the grounds. Also, there are no dumpsters....so what you bring in, you have to take with you. The campground is situated above 9000ft elevation so the days are mild warm and the nights can be cool to cold. If you're looking for solitude and nature, this is the place to go!

A perfect Utah mountain campsite. The weather is 20-30 degrees cooler than in SLC, and we caught a few Rainbow Trout in the ponds. The campsites are very large and do not have neighbors next to you. The camp hosts were friendly and helpful to find a FCFS spot. This is now on my top 5 list of campsites in Utah.

I've been coming to potters ponds for almost 30 years, and every time is amazing. We went in August, instead of July this time, and we were the only ones around all week. It was breathtaking! The roads have been well maintained and taking a drive to Joe's Valley Reservoir and all the stops in between is one of our favorite things to do. We haven't had a year where it hasn't rained all day for at least a couple days, so definitely bring rain gear!

We reserved spot 14 near the ponds, it was perfect but be aware there is a day use parking area right next to this spot so it's pretty noisy. It's beautiful, too bad there is so much noise during the day and evening as side by sides and 4 wheelers are all over through camp.

We loved the campsite we had - #17. It was close to the bathroom and close to the hiking trail that went up the hill. This is definitely not a centrally located campground, but it was exactly what we needed.

This campground is beautiful. The facilities are well cared for and the area is beautiful. Tucked away in an area off the main highway makes it a place that is isolated from the hustle of the crowds.

Nice campground, big tables.

This was a poor experience.

Our family had a great memorable weekend there.
