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!
