About
Divide Well Campground is a remote, rustic campground situated in a scenic meadow with scattered ponderosa pine and denser fir along the campground edges. Located on the North Fork John Day Ranger District of Umatilla National Forest, this lightly-used site features 11 campsites and two accessible vault toilets. The campground is particularly popular during elk hunting season but sees light use throughout the rest of the year. There is no potable water or garbage service, so visitors must bring their own water and pack out all trash. All campsites include picnic tables and firepits. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with no fees required. Nearby attractions include the Potamus Point Interpretive Site, which offers breathtaking views, interesting geology, and opportunities to observe a herd of re-introduced bighorn sheep. There are no developed trails on this side of the district, making it ideal for those seeking a quiet, remote camping experience.
