Only one side of outhouse open The other side locked. Imagine so they only had to clean 1/2. They turn the electricity off for some reason. No snow not horrible cold! Needs to be noted on recreation site.

We stayed here when we came to Durango to ride the train to Silverton and back. We had a great stay! The site was clean and very well-kept. The pit toilets were the cleanest pit toilets Ive ever seen! It was a very beautiful campground and a short drive into the town.

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.

Campground was very well laid out and clean. However, we did not use the toilet facilities, therefore I cannot vouch for that. We love the nature experience.

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!

Nice, forested setting. Very clean pit toilets. Large campsites with lots of space in between them. We were in a tent but there would have been plenty of room for a trailer along with our truck.

What a great campground in the hills west of Durango. Pleasantly surprised as to how quiet the area was, cleanliness of facilities and site. Our site was level, picnic table set down the hill a little. Zero cell reception for ATT

Campsite, bathrooms were super clean. Great shade in most spots. Would definitely recommend. Absolute beautiful area right next to the Colorado trail. We were in a van and had no problem leveling.

Very close to town and pretty much on the Colorado trail. Sites seemed large where you really could not see may of the neighbors

We had a great stay at Junction Creek Site 4 Loop D. The campsite was great with plenty of shade, very well maintained restrooms, and an amazing host. It was remote but yet a quick drive to get into the town of Durango. There were hiking trails nearby. We were able to walk to the host site from our campsite to buy firewood. The only negative was our campsite location felt like we were in the middle of a circle of surrounding campsites and did not offer much privacy. Because of this, we could hear everything going on at all surrounding campsites.

The friendly hosts kept the campground immaculate. Widely space sites and direct access to the Colorado Trail made for a wonderful stay.

Great campground and Colorado trail
@MichaelM541440 · Camped on Jul 24, 2025 at Campsite #5
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.

The campground is wonderful and the road is now paved, allowing us to easily navigate with a 37 fifth wheel. Each loop has trash dumpsters and the absolute cleanest vault toilets weve ever experienced!

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.
@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.
@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
