Beautiful, easy to get to and ease of backing trailer into site. Had a couple deer visit us too.

Nice and clean grounds and facilities with an excellent host. Dear walked through the camp one day and very quiet and peaceful. Verizon just barely worked on Loop E while AT&T was intermittently working for simple texts.

One of our favorite spots in the state. Easy access to Durango but just remote enough to feel like youre away from it all. Hosts are terrific and work hard to keep things clean and orderly. Great hiking and biking trail access for the more experienced. There was a large youth group some of the nights in a double site but they werent out of control.

Campsite is at end of road which offers additional privacy. Bathrooms and water spigot are within the camp. Dumpster in walking distance. The camp host even provided some fire wood when we arrived. Outstanding place to camp. 15 mins from Durango.
@MandieF312834D · Camped on May 25, 2025 at Campsite #13
Fantastic spot! Very quiet even on a holiday weekend, camp host was friendly and helpful when we had a question. Spotlessly clean restrooms.
@ChristyK216693 · Camped on May 25, 2025 at Campsite #1
A perfect campsite. Clean bathrooms
@GraceJ8634092 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #6
The Junction Creek Campground was quiet, clean, and peaceful. Probably one of the cleanest vault toilet I've ever been to - and I've seen a lot. We stayed in Loop C, site 6 and it worked great for our large tent. The majority of the campsites were very spaced out and beautiful in the pine trees. I would absolutely stay here again.
@marciam5C0F432 · Camped on May 22, 2025 at Campsite #3
The camp host found an available camp site that met our needs.

Junction Creek Campground near Durango was a peaceful retreat nestled among tall pines. The campsites were spacious and well-maintained, offering a sense of privacy. Vault toilets were clean, and potable water was available, though there were no showers or dump stations. The nearby Colorado Trail provided excellent hiking opportunities. The gravel road leading to the campground was a bit rough, but manageable. Overall, it was a serene spot to unwind and enjoy nature.

@StephenC406899 · Camped on May 2, 2025 at Campsite #11
Always a good stay here, its quite, well cared for and the Vaunted toilets are always clean.
@RichardG179702 · Camped on Sep 25, 2024 at Campsite #9
Beautiful, secluded campground - clean restrooms - large, beautiful campsites - quiet - about 6 miles outside Durango - last bit (1.5-2 miles?) is on dirt road (4x4 not needed, but it's bumpy/rutted in spots) - nearby trails - great place to home base while exploring the area!
@TswjhwmVBA027E · Camped on Sep 18, 2024 at Campsite #9
The campsite has a lot of space. The surface slants a bit. It looks a lot better in person than in the photos. Bathroom and water is within walking distance but far enough to still have some privacy from other campers using it
@ConnieS8161405 · Camped on Sep 17, 2024 at Campsite #3
3 miles of narrow windy paved road then 3 more of washed out gravel uphill hill hairpin turn road to get to camp site. Campground was hilly but well kept
@TracyK3596958 · Camped on Sep 15, 2024 at Campsite #12
The campsites were huge, not close to any neighbors, and the bathrooms were very clean! Bob, the camp host went out of his way to assist us in many ways. He was also friendly, knowledgeable, and personable! We will return!
@ChrisC9047590 · Camped on Sep 13, 2024 at Campsite #4
The short distance to Durango, Co. made it a perfect place to stay after riding the scenic train. The toilets were very clean. The camp host keep the site in perfect order.
@DonnaR4638874 · Camped on Sep 13, 2024 at Campsite #14
An absolutely gorgeous campground just up the hill from Durango. The sites were beautifully cared for with lots of distance between them. It was beautifully set in the pines and was so very quiet. We couldnt have been happier.
@RayneBD57080D7 · Camped on Sep 8, 2024 at Campsite #3
Wonderful campsite right outside of Durango! It felt secluded while in a convenient enough proximity to the town if you forgot to pack anything. The site host was so helpful. Highly recommend!
@RodneyL7566985 · Camped on Sep 6, 2024 at Campsite #12
We could only stay overnight. We noticed the campsite was very well kept. Its location close to Durango made accessibility to downtown events available.
@CyndieG4ED9F87 · Camped on Sep 2, 2024 at Campsite #13
Junction Creek CG was amazing! The campsites were well spaced for privacy. The wooded site, hilly terrain, wildlife and stars made for an incredible 5 days. The campsite was clean, had a grate on the firepit for cooking and a four ft. hook to keep equipment/supplies off the ground. We made day trips to Silverton, Ouray, Mesa Verde, Pagosa Springs and Durango during our stay. Bathroom vaults were very clean, but wish it had showers and a place to wash dishes. Camp hosts were awesome and extremely helpful. We are definitely coming back!
@NikkiL78B408AE · Camped on Aug 19, 2024 at Campsite #1
Very clean and well kept. Campsites were nicely spaced, too.
@DanielH7335920 · Camped on Aug 19, 2024 at Campsite #2
There isnt any cell service at the campground but it is a nice place and Bob the campground host was great.
@DanielC8838163 · Camped on Aug 13, 2024 at Campsite #4
the site was pristine, including the site and the vault toilets. The host was very friendly. overall, a very good experience.
@JonS9305851 · Camped on Aug 12, 2024 at Campsite #14
Very nice place. The best thing was the campground hosts. They were always around cleaning or raking.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.
@Wondering - Oregon
Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
