Enjoyed our visit to Junction Creek CG. CG was clean -- bathrooms spotless -- and quiet. We stayed at a double site which was so spacious. Camp hosts were friendly and gracious to us with our reservations. Had cancelled one of our two reservations online and turns out the website cancelled the site our friends had already settled into. Camp host did not make us move--switched reservation for us.

We were very happy with this campground. Our site was freshly raked and immaculate when we arrived. Restrooms were clean and well-stocked. The campground host was available and helpful. The only complaint was the washboard road coming into the campground. I doubt that it was graded at the start of the season.

Beautiful setting, exceptionally clean bathrooms. Zero privacy within this campground, regardless of loop or site number. If you are looking for a campsite out of site from neighbors forget about it! Location to Durango and several trailheads is 5 stars.

The location in the forest is breathtaking. We did very much enjoy our stay. Probably the best maintained campground during our two months US road trip. The hosts were very friendly and passionate. Everything was taken care off and very clean. They check and clean the sites after every guest and the toilets several times a day.
