In Durango, there are two campgrounds to consider.
Lightner Creek Campground and Cabins is on the west side of town, set back off the highway, so no highway noise. In a bit of a valley with varied site sizes to accommodate a variety of rigs.
United Campground of Durango is on the north side of town, right off the highway. There are full hook up sites that are rather close together and are separated from another section by the Durango and Siverton RR. Yes, the train goes right through the park several times a day -- great photo ops.
In Ouray, if you decide to stay there, consider the KOA north of town. It is not your garden variety KOA, it's a great location and value. Also consider Ridgway State Park, a bit further north of Ouray, on the way to Telluride.
