Really loved Junction Creek! The sites were large and plenty of space between each campsite. The proximity to the Colorado Trail and Junction Creek was great. The campground was clean and well kept. The location was really convenient to downtown Durango. I would definitely recommend if you need a place to camp while visiting Durango or Silverton.

Only one side of outhouse open The other side locked. Imagine so they only had to clean 1/2. They turn the electricity off for some reason. No snow not horrible cold! Needs to be noted on recreation site.

We stayed here when we came to Durango to ride the train to Silverton and back. We had a great stay! The site was clean and very well-kept. The pit toilets were the cleanest pit toilets I’ve ever seen! It was a very beautiful campground and a short drive into the town.
