The sites are quite nice, lots of shade throughout the campground. The bathrooms were impressively clean.

The camp hosts, Lana and Tracy, are super nice and informative. Junction Creek has the cleanest pit toilets I have ever used. The sites are not level for car, RV parking/camping so be sure to bring leveling blocks. The tent pad sites appear to be level. There is no cell service in the campground. There are no showers. There is water spigots at most of the pit toilets. There are showers available in town on Hwy 550. Only 5 mi from Hwy 550, Junction Creek is conveniently located to Durango. I would definitely stay there again

Beautiful campground and polite hosts. Bathrooms were always clean and never had an unpleasant odor, unusual for a pit toilet. Only complaint is the generator hours of 6 am - 10 pm. Some campers took full advantage which did not make for a completely peaceful stay.

This is a small, very nice campground near Silverton, CO. It has great access to a lot that the area has to offer. Don't miss the end of FR 585 with beaver dams, lots of dear, some elk and moose. 4 wheel up to Clear Lake. Hike to the Ice Lakes. Behind the campground only about a 1/4 mi away is a beautiful waterfall. Close to Silverton and about 45 minutes from Ouray!
And...the camp hosts are great! This is one of the best maintained campgrounds we have ever been to.

Campground was quiet and pretty. Restrooms were immaculate. Easy access to town and trails. Tent camping was little challenging since most sites, including C4 where we stayed, did not appear to have tent sites that were quite level.

Quiet location near town. Campsites spacious and lots of shade, though being across from other sites means not the most private.

Great location with a well spaced out site, clean bathrooms, and quiet area. We slept in a vehicle and tent. This site was a non-electric, but not level for a vehicle and had little flat space for a tent. The campground itself is great. The day before in the same campground we were at n the electric, RV section and had a level site with great smooth surface for our tent.

Although we slept in the vehicle and a tent, we used this electric/RV site as the standard non-electric sites were taken. It turned out to be great, as it was level, with a large smooth area for the tent. This site was well spaced out from other sites, and peaceful. The bathrooms were clean and the park rangers helpful and friendly.

Spacious campground amid tall Ponderosa trees. Lovely setting. Our "double fee" site should have been a "1/2 fee" site. VERY LITTLE shade surrounded by almost all the other sites with LOTS of shade. In the summer heat, we were doomed. ONLY viable for RVs or camper trailers (i.e. built-in shade). LOTS of parking but almost no actual campsite space. Walking around, I saw MANY, MANY other sites that were way more intimate and beautiful. Choose your site carefully.

From Main Street in Durango, travel west on 25th Street (across from the fairgrounds entrance) for just over three miles, to the forest boundary. Continue just over a mile to the campground entrance. The day-use area loops to the left.
The closest entrance is: Mesa Verde National Park Entrance Station
