The camp hosts were amazing. Very communicative and they recognized me after a couple of days of being there. I felt safe, welcomed, and supported. Also, the vault bathrooms were some of the cleanliest I’ve ever seen.

If you are looking or peace and quiet, this is it! Site C6 was big enough for our 26' trailer and 22' tow vehicle. Spacious sites, with towering Ponderosa pines providing filtered sunshine. Campground is 5 miles from Main Avenue, with the last mile a gravel Forest Service road. Great jumping off place for numerous hiking trails in the area, or exploring Durango. Friendly and helpful camp hosts.

The camp host - Terri- was delightful. The campsite was amazing and since we had an appointment in bayfield, it’s proximity to Durango was ideal. Thank you!

Lovely camp, hosts were wonderful, restrooms very clean. Close to hiking, gravel riding & MTBing. Plenty of space between sites. Excellent location to explore Durango.

We love everything about Junction Creek Campground and have stayed 3 times. The hosts are amazing and we adore Beverly & Dean. They do a great job of keeping everything clean and tidy. After someone checks out the campsites and cleaned and prepped for the next visitors and they practically Zen Garden the sites!
The only downside is no internet service and spotty cell service.

Great discovery for Durango. Location is only 5 miles from town yet up in the woods. This was our second year here and will be back next year. The hosts are super friendly and helpful (Beverly, Dean, Dennis) and the bathrooms were the cleanest I have ever seen. Sites are very well spaced into loops so traffic and noise were minimal as you only had traffic for your loop. Durango community center was also a great find (for workouts and showers) and only 5 miles down the hill. The last mile up the hill is unpaved but pretty well maintained. Lots of great hiking near by and creek walking distance from campground.

excellent campground, hiked some of the Colorado Trail which starts just below the campground, I'd recommend camping at Junction Creek and will probably camp there again
