So close to Durango, but far enough down a forest road you would never know. The walk down to the creek is a must, pretty abundant trout. The location on Colorado Trail is pretty optimal. Clean, well kept as was our experience elsewhere in Colorado forests.

We found Junction Creek to be a very well tended, conveniently located campground located near Durango. Plenty of hiking, biking, and other outdoor activities around!

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.
