We have stayed in many National Forest campgrounds. All of the ones we have stayed in had electric hookups.
I would guess that less than 1 in 10 NFS CG's in CO has electricity. I have a little less experience in our neighboring states, but I'd still guess the ratio is about the same in UT, WY, AZ, MT, etc.
OP, the only NFS CG near Ouray is Amphitheater in is definitely not RV friendly. Look at Recreation.gov and you'll see most sites are 20' or so. And in this case they aren't kidding. If one is in a TC or tent, it's a great CG. Anything bigger just doesn't fit. There are three on CO 145 south of Telluride, but they fill early.
