Junction Creek Campground is praised for its quiet, beautiful setting, well-spaced sites, and exceptionally clean bathrooms.

Campsite D2 was amazing!!! It's a double fee site with LOADS of space! The kids explored for hours on end. We very easily fit in two large tents, two easy-ups, and hammocks. Bathrooms were kept clean and Beverly, the camp hostess, was delightful!

This campground is a beautiful old growth forest with 70-80 ft. tall pines in most of the camp. Peaceful and clean, including the bathrooms which do not have running water (basically modern outhouses). No wifi. Cell phone service was good. Campsites are spacious and provide a table and a campfire ring and spots for tents. Keep in mind only the "E" loop offers electricity. No sewer and no water at any of the sites. However, running water is usually available close to the latrines (fill up your camper/trailer/RV before you go to your site!). We spent 5 nights there and even though the campsites are rustic, the beautiful forest makes up for the drawbacks! There is a dump station in town across from Walmart at a place that sells trailers and campers. One serious complaint..... while we were there in June 2021(after spring run-off), the 5 mi drive on dirt road to get to the campground was quite unpleasant as they had not graded it for sometime and the washboard effect made a very slow drive back and forth to the campground. We also took a rafting trip with "Mild to Wild Rafting" and had a great time (about 75.00 per person)! The half-day excursion is actually only about two hours on the water....the rest of the time is training and driving back to town (alot of fun!!!). We also highly recommend Durango Hot Springs. They normally charge 30.00 for two hours during the winter months, but in the summer they are very casual and tell you to stay as long as you like. Beautiful views and a variety of different temperature pools, many in the shade. So much to do in Durango.....we will return! :-)

Beautiful campground, great hosts, close to Durango. We have stayed here multiple times over the years and this time was as good as our previous experience.

Very close to Durango but far enough away you miss the crowds. Spacious campsites and the drop toilets were so clean.. the camp hosts do a great job keeping the grounds up. Will define return.

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
