Tucked along the Animas River at the northern end of the Hermosa Valley under Ponderosa pines, Junction West Durango Riverside Resort is a riverside retreat just minutes from historic downtown Durango. Reserve a riverfront cabin, full-hookup RV pad, or tent site, and spend your days front-fishing the Animas, rafting, and exploring the San Juan Mountains — then gather around the fire as the river runs by. Couples, friends, and families all find their pace here.

JW Durango Riverside Resort features a heated pool, game room, café deck, and convenience store. You may choose to stay in one of our rustic glamping cabins, vacation rentals, riverfront RV sites, spacious super-sites, or tent sites. Keep the memories fresh by visiting our camp store for souvenirs to take the fun home!
