USDA Forest Service
Upper Joes Valley Campground is located at ~7340' elevation at the lower end of Upper Joes Valley, just south of the intersection of Millers Flat Road and Lowry Water Road. The campground is close to Indian Creek in a treed area dotted with sagebrush. The trees offer shade for most campers and provide spectacular autumn color. Many trails criss-cross the surrounding valley and mountainsides and visitors to the campground enjoy exploring the area trails on foot, on horseback, or by riding mountain bikes or off-highway vehicles (OHV). There are no amenities within the campground. Roads and spurs within the campground are dirt. Nearby attractions include the Joes Valley Recreation Area and the expansive Arapeen ATV Trail System, which has over 350 miles of designated, well-maintained OHV trails suitable for all riding skill levels.
