Wanting to do a week in and around SJNF, renting a travel trailer in Durango, want to pick three campgrounds, do 2 nights, 3, nights, 2 nights with smaller more off beaten path campgrounds flanking and one bigger place in the middle with showers and hookups maybe a pool. Mid July or mid August are our choices. Ist time with a small trailer pulling with an SUV. 2 adults a 3 yr old and 1 yes old. Tia!

United Campgrounds of Durango very nice and right next to the railroad tracks so you will see and hear the train as it makes its way to Silverton and back....
