“As usual great experience at junction creek. Terry & Ruth (camp hosts) are always helpful and will work to accommodate your needs. Its probably the cleanest campsite we’ve ever stayed in. We recommend this place.

Lovely campground. Lots of space between sites that allows for privacy. Beautiful place. We also had a wonderful chat with an employee who helped us out with some trip planning in the area. Will definitely return!

Very nice campground. Friendly hosts, clean facilities and campsites. Campsites are well spaced out...best layout I've seen in a long time. Only 15-20 minutes from Durango, but doesn't feel like you are close to town at all when at camp. We'll stay here again for sure.

Clean bathrooms. No enforced generator and quiet hours which made for a lower quality experience.

This campsite and campground were amazing! It was quiet, beautiful, and most campsites had a ton of privacy. By far the cleanest campsite/campground I have ever stayed at. The hosts were great. Only thing to note for people with campers (and water tanks) - you need to fill up at the host campsite because the available water by the toilets do not have spigots to attach hoses to (there are spigots at the host campsite).
