Best Time to Camp at Potters Pond

Experience the refreshing embrace of true mountain weather at Potters Pond, where temperatures run 20-30 degrees cooler than the sweltering Salt Lake City valley below. Here, summer days bring perfect conditions for outdoor adventures without the oppressive heat, while evenings invite you to gather around the campfire as cool mountain air settles across the landscape. As one camper perfectly captured it: 'Perfect Utah mountain campsite with cool weather and mild days.' Pack that extra layer – you'll appreciate it when the stars come out and the temperature drops.

About Potters Pond

Nestled in a pristine high mountain valley at 8,900 feet, Potters Pond Campground offers an escape into Utah's breathtaking backcountry. Two serene alpine ponds serve as the centerpiece of this outdoor paradise, where anglers cast lines into waters teeming with fish, paddlers glide across glassy surfaces, and adventure seekers access miles of trails perfect for hiking, mountain biking, and OHV exploration. As one delighted visitor shared, 'Potters Pond was full when we went and it had great fishing' – a testament to the abundant recreational opportunities awaiting you in this mountain sanctuary.
Potters Pond Campground provides options for single, double, group, and equestrian camping. Some equestrian sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis for visitors camping with horses.
