Dutch Joe Campground is an undeveloped camping area on Bureau of Land Management land in the Rock Springs Field Office, about 2.4 miles from the town of Leckie, Wyoming.

Typical averages from a nearby weather station at South Pass City show July highs around 78°F with lows near 41°F, while winter highs stay in the upper 20s. Sagebrush Creek, a canoeing spot, lies about 2 miles away. Big Sandy Campground is roughly 5.7 miles off, and the Big Sandy/highline Connector hike is about 5.6 miles away. Climbers can find Deep Lake Dome about 9 miles from the site.
