Divide Well Campground

Divide Well Campground is a remote site with a rustic look.  It is situated in a meadow with scattered ponderosa pine and denser fir along the campground edges. Divide Well is a popular spot for elk hunters, but little used through the rest of the season.   It features 11 campsites and two accessible vault toilets.  There is no potable water or garbage service, so please pack out all garbage and dispose of it at home. 

Nearby is the Potamus Point Interpretive Site, with breathtaking views, interesting geology, and a herd of re-introduced bighorn sheep.  There are no developed trails on this side of the North Fork John Day Ranger District.

General Information

The campground is not maintained but is still available throughout the winter. Access will be snowmobiles only once the road is inaccessible due to snow. Please contact the North fork John Day Ranger District for more information.
