Since we live in Santa Fe, this is an area we have happily explored. A few of our favorites are US Forest Service, so are reservable through Recreation.Gov and are beautiful. My highest recommendation is Junction Creek Campground, CO. It's 8 miles out of Durango, and there is much to see in all directions, both in nature and in towns. Some sites have electricity, but none have water.
Two more to consider are on Vallecito Lake, near Bayfield, Co: Vallecito Creek Campground (Creek runs through camp) or Pine Point Campground, on the shore of the lake.
Around Santa Fe, Black Canyon is really pretty, but no amenities, other than beautiful trees and trails. Though Santa Fe has LOTS to see and do and eat.
Do go! you won't be sorry...
