Ridgeway is a very nice state park. The KOA near Ouray is not bad at all. The last several years we have gone to and from Ouray from the north and it is no problem at all. You might consider leaving your trailer in the campground and taking a day trip south on the Million Dollar Highway. It is a beautiful, beautiful drive.
+1. Another vote for Ridgeway and the KOA outside of Ouray. The KOA has been there a long time and has consistently gotten good reviews. And with good reason. One of the best KOAs to be found anywhere.
As others have said, the drive from Montrose to Ouray is not a problem at all....lots of farmland and ranchland initially, giving way to mountains in the distance, getting closer. But the road and drive is a piece of cake! Vistas are wonderful the closer you get to Ouray and enter the box canyon.
