Camp hosts were exceptional. Campground was clean, orderly, quiet and well organized. Access was easy for our Geo Pro camper.

We did the Silverton, Ouray, and Telluride circuit. Unbelievable mountain views. Ate at Handlebars in Silverton - must do. Telluride Brewery in Telluride.

We have used Junction Creek yearly and will go back again later this year. If you are a camper, jeeper, love the mountains, history, etc Junction Creek is a must.

We loved the size of the sites! Excellent privacy and amenities!
The only issue we had was that we had zero internet access; it's good to unplug, but we were on an extended trip and would have appreciated the choice to unplug, lol.
We will definitely stay here again! We absolutely loved it!

Beautiful camp sites, spotless toilets, helpful hosts. Very convenient location near Durango. The drive beyond the campground to the overview is well worth it. The entire road needs grading to knock down deep washboards.
