Close to town. Sites were a good size with privacy. Bathrooms were well maintained. Camp hosts did an excellent job of maintaining the bathrooms and sites.

“As usual great experience at junction creek. Terry & Ruth (camp hosts) are always helpful and will work to accommodate your needs. Its probably the cleanest campsite we’ve ever stayed in. We recommend this place.

Lovely campground. Lots of space between sites that allows for privacy. Beautiful place. We also had a wonderful chat with an employee who helped us out with some trip planning in the area. Will definitely return!

Very nice campground. Friendly hosts, clean facilities and campsites. Campsites are well spaced out...best layout I've seen in a long time. Only 15-20 minutes from Durango, but doesn't feel like you are close to town at all when at camp. We'll stay here again for sure.
