Upper Juan Miller Campground sits in the Clifton Ranger District of the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forests in eastern Arizona, about 10 miles from the town of Clifton. It is a Forest Service campground managed by the agency, and the nearest neighbor is Lower Juan Miller Campground, which is about 0.4 miles away. The site has vault toilets, and there is no fee to stay here. That makes it a simple base for an overnight in the district, and a natural pairing with the Lower Juan Miller Campground just across the way. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at a similar elevation run to highs around 77°F in May and 72°F in October, while July and August bring highs near 89°F and roughly twice as many wet days. Several trails and another campground lie within a short drive. The Trail Cabin Pump hike is about 1.3 miles off, the Smokey Trail and Pigeon Trail mountain biking route are each about 2.3 miles away, and Granville Campground is about 6 miles from the site.
