Lots of new folks to the forum - - lots of people looking for advice on what to do/what to expect for Telluride - - this was a great, albeit old, string of questions and answers . . .
Couple of TBF & TP Virgins here! :wave We lucked out and won TP passes as well as a vehicle pass! Absolutely Stoked!! We’ll be arriving on Thursday 9th with our pop-up camper to enjoy town before the festival. I lived here in '86 & '87 and can’t wait to show my family how beautiful T-Ride is. The string, all 24 pages =P, has been very helpful in getting a feel of what to expect but I’ve a couple of questions still…
- If all the marked sites are taken when we arrive, where can we stay with our pop up till the rope drops on Sat.?
- Where is the closest propane refill location to TP?
21 days till we get there… but who’s counting!!! :woohoo
Peace, Love & Ukulele…
You’ll have to come in and “rent” a space from Town Park Campground proper. Just check in with the folks already in camp and I’m sure you’ll find helping hands and a great spot for the pop-up camper.
Can’t wait to meet you and the family!
FESTIVVVAAALLL!!!
Auntie Hope :festivarian2 :green
Hey! Thanks for your post :flower. We’re soooo excited and can’t wait to arrive in 17days!!! I’m looking forward to ALL the music, meeting new friends and the late nite jams! We’ll look for you while we’re there and share a cocktail :cheers. Aloha!
Peace, Love and Ukulele!
Make sure you bring enough propane for your stay. The closest propane is 4 or 5 miles away and after the festival starts you won’t be able to drive and I don’t think they will let you on the bus with a propane bottle. I suggest renting a large contractor bottle for a couple of weeks. :cheers
good luck see you in TP
Thx! Good thing to know. Then I’ll need to bring an extra tank for the HEATER!!! mmmmmmm :thumbsup
Peace, Love & Ukulele!
Ask around if you run out, some camps will have extra extra full bottle to trade for your empty + plus some cash. Several of the larger, more organized, camps also have access to a vehicle with a barricade pass for a propane run down valley.

Tom…
I have not been able to find any info on the set up / line for Warner. I know it’s open at 9am on Wed, but does a line form early ?? Is it better to park across town and stand in line with a few critical camping items and wait for the opening, or wait till 9am to show up and unload gear ?
I’m not T-Tom, but I’ll give this a stab anyway…
Yes, a line forms early… and yes, get in line with at least a tarp to put down and mark your real estate, and something to hold it in place (maybe a full person to stand atop if possible) until you can get back with more camping gear.

Having someone there early like Hope says is probably a good idea. The Planet Bluegrass staff and volunteers will be busy trying to get everyone in to drop off their gear without causing too much of a traffic jam, so follow their directions as much as possible. There will be early arrivals as well as late arrivals, so try to limit your “squatting” area to it’s minimum and all will be happy. :cheers
Hey Tom, all of you seem really awesome and I am really excited for a new elevated expierence. My question is how quickly/easily does one get from TP to the nitegrass shows? Cannot wait to see my mom and my dog who live in Durango and I am eager to make new fam and take advantage of your awesome dry air.
It’s just a short walk or shuttle ride to the nightgrass venues and probably won’t take more than 10 minutes from Town Park. :cheers
Welcome to the fun. :flower
Man, it’s getting close!! My little girl, who is no stranger to music festivals, wakes up is like; “Dad, only 8,7,6 more days till TELLURIDE!!!” Hard to focus on work…
Hi Tom: I am trying to find a ride/carpool from Denver down to the fest. I hope I can figure that out, but if I can’t and have to drive can you help me understand parking. My friend has a booth at the fest so she has a car space, but I won’t so what would you do about parking my car? Also I posted a topic in the carpool section, but can’t find the posting. Can you tell me where thecarpool section of the website is. Thanks!!!
Here is the Hitching a Ride Section
On the main forum page it is under “The Shop” category and the second from the bottom of that section, above the Lodging Share section.
You will be directed by volunteers as to where you need to park as there is no festival parking in town without a barricade pass. :flower
You need to be logged in to see the ticket exchanges or the Hitching a Ride and Lodging/accomadations sections. Used to be I could see all sections even if I wasn’t logged in, but that recently changed :huh
Now if I’m not logged in, all I can see under “The Shop” catagory is Snap Shots and Show Traders/Tapers.
Been reading this thread & others all morning…my eyes do not yet bleed, but they should.
Anyhoo, I am searching for specifics for Warner Field camping re: time we’re allotted for the dropping off of camping gear / locating a site before a droppee’s car is banished to the far hinterlands (aka free parking at various places elsewhere).
See, I believe in ‘A’ list camping (Hi, Hippie!) which means I’ll be bringing beaucoup sh…stuff in the form of supplies, gear, etc.
I’m wonderng how one goes about finding a campsite and getting said stuff to said site sans mishap…especially wondering this since it appears my partner in crime, who is the chief lifter of heavy objects and raiser of tents in the family, may be required to leave me at the edge of the field with our goods while he goes and parks the car.
Suggestions? Reassurances? Advice?
Also a newbie, wondering if I can still drive into town on Wed. afternoon to unload @ T. Park without a vehicle pass, or do I have to shuttle everything in? Thanks for helping if you can…
