Getting to the campground:

From the stoplight in Questa where NM 522 and NM 38 meet, head east on NM 38, toward Red River. After several miles, you should see the campground.

Note that the campground is not located where the 1995 Carson National Forest map (nor the 1995 USGS Red River quad) says it is; it is after Elephant Rock campground as you head from Questa to Red River.

The campground:

	The Red River runs through the campground. This is convenient if you like to fish.
Here is site 15. Site 20 looks nice.

I think that Junebug is a great campground for a fun outdoor vacation. It is perfect for families in RVs. I think that this is the campgraound to go to if you love to fish. It has a lot of great spots to catch some great trout. I have camped in this campground every summer since i was old enough to go. I would highly reccimmend this sight to anyone.

Junebug would be fine if the camp host didnt go around constantly, talking, and telling the same bad joke. People are strange up in those parts. We paid $15. Our area wasnt clean when we showed up. And the bathrooms are terrible!! We left ASAP. You would be better off at Fawn Lakes. NOT Columbine!!!

We were here last week of July 2007 and we were moved to 3 different camp sites. The hosts were just too picky and nosy. One move was around 11PM because of a broken tree whom the neighbors discovered and alerted the hosts. We have stayed at Junebug for several years and had lots of good memories with the exception of our last visit. We may stay one more time, but if the same hosts are there we will move to another campground.
