Junction City Campground offers a unique blend of convenience and tranquility for outdoor enthusiasts visiting the area. While it is situated close to the highway, the campground provides a serene environment with large, well-shaded sites and private amenities that make it feel like an escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
Campers have praised the campground for its big sites and friendly host, though some have noted occasional odors near a stagnant pond located at the north end. Despite this minor issue, many visitors find the smell manageable, especially when staying in their coaches where it is less noticeable.

Junction City Campground is located immediately adjacent to the highway, but is otherwise a nice little park. There were very few other campers during our mid-week stay. We picked a pull-through site at the north end of the campground, but that turned out to be a bad choice because it was located near a stagnant pond along the edge of the highway and it smelled as though something had died there recently. After we were set up, the host warned us about the pond and told us to feel free to find another spot even though we’d already registered for this one. We opted to stay because the smell wasn’t noticeable inside the coach and only occasionally noticeable outside.
The host at this little campground was a pleasant surprise. Although I never got her name, she was obviously serious about your comfort at this campground, she was caring about the campground appearance without being overbearing with the rules. She very eloquently put the kibosh on unruly patrons who didn't respect others or the campground. ALL ON A BUSY 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND... this hostess rocks, oh yeah, the campground was pretty good as well. Big campsites, well shaded, large fire pits and right on Hwy 299 but still felt private.
Great hosts, great sites, cheap price, but right on the side of the highway. This place is really nice. If you are in an RV or don't care about the noise, this is the spot for you. There was a light coming from host or bathrooms that was quite unpleasant in a hammock at night. Car lights streaking through the trees at night is actually quite nice to see. I'll definitely make this a stop again since those are not a big deal to me.
Great campground with water near the Trinity that, really surprisingly, allows campfires even in the summer. The host was super friendly. The major drawback is the proximity to the road. You get a lot of road noise throughout the night when big trucks go by.
Although close to the highway the noise from traffic wasn't too bad. Nice Juniper smells, not as dark as many other campgrounds in this area and well kept. Thanks to the host. Campground wood available for a donation.
