We stayed there for a week in our 30' class A. Absolutely beautiful campground with the friendliest hosts ever. Pit toilets are the cleanest I've ever seen. There isn't a bad campsite in the whole place. Just amazing, very quiet and peaceful. Be aware there is no water tap to fill an RV water tank or RV dump. We came prepared and had a wonderful time, but just be ready when you get there. Power service is 15/30/50 amp and great, outlets are on the drivers side with the RV backed in.
We will be back.

We love, Junction Creek! The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Bathrooms were super clean! Wish it hadn't been Stage II fire restrictions, but that's how it goes sometimes. Still had a great time!
