NO OPEN FIRES! (imho)
boy if someone knocked on over…
Hey all! Just got into town and am camping at the Matterhorn campground. Does anyone know if there are any modes of public transportation to/from the campground into town and/or Mountain Village? Tryna stay safe on the roads after a little :cheers
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Hi Everyone,
I am so excited to plan my trip to Telluride for the bluegrass festival that I’m starting now!!! I would like to enter the lottery for Town Park camping, but can’t find the dates of the lottery. Can anyone help me?
November 5 - 14
BLUEGRASS.COM has most of your questions answered. ForumFestiFolks always helpful as well. Good luck in the lotto, CU there! (and don’t tell ne1 else, ok? ;))
:cheers
Mums The Word …

Town park newb hopefull here (a respectful and sharing one), and I have a question on Campers in Town Park. This will be our third festival, and our parents are coming, and they are a little over the camping in tents thing. They want to bring their pop up camper.
Is this kosher? It’s under 24 feet.
Also, does it have to be in one of the numbered spaces?
Can they show up prior to the saturday before and claim one of those spots?
Thanks for any info. I’ve already leaned a lot by reading the past 36 pages… :eek
The “Vehicle Pass” is what they’ll need, also sold via this week’s lottery, and the hardest ticket to win as there aren’t very many. There are very good cots that make tenting very workable for all, really…(imho).
Hello Odd …Feel free to contact me off list …Vehicle Pass is required …that being said …there is not alot of them available…
however WE try to get em to the folks that need em …Ie …Health …Elderly etc
my Info is on my profile …
:thumbsup
so i’ve read through all 36 pages and from what i can gather town park is open to anyone from saturday until wednesday. so do a lot of people that don’t have town park tickets camp in there those days and then pack up and leave for warner or the other campgrounds on wednesday? just wondering if good spots open up closer to the start of the festy?
Nope, they don’t. From Land rush Saturday on, you need to have proper DOCS (ticket/wristband) on you to set up camp in Town Park.
But you can come in to visit, go to an event, etc. until Wed when it gets “locked down” for Festivaaaal! :cheers
thanks for the clarificatioon swander makes sense as that would be a total clusterfudge having people breaking down camp and moving wednesday. we have tp tickets and will most likely be there on sunday afternoon, which i gather should be fine to find a good spot for our small tent, but thats too far into the future to be sure on arrival time.
Hi My friends and I are camping at mary E Ilieum. does anyone know if they have showers there or where the closest ones are? I’m guessing at the highschool?
Closest showers are indeed at the high school. You’ll have to take the shuttle into town and get off at the first stop.
I don’t think the high school showers start until the festival starts, though. Is that right, Sugar? If you’re there before then and desperate, you can probably use the ones in Town Park, as nobody checks wristbands until the start of the fest. Once the high school showers start, though, they’re the best. You get unlimited hot water! Ahhhhhh!!!
Dude, there’s barely enough hot water for those who do camp in Town Park- in fact there isn’t. Man, don’t be telling more people to use those showers otherwise ill find your campsite and blast “Born to Run”
:lol
Ok, I’m a little nervous reading through this thread. My friends and I were lucky enough to get Town park Camping passes. The 8 of us will be arriving to the Festival early Thursday early afternoon (first day of music). It sounds like most everyone gets there a lot earlier. I don’t care much about location or shade, but we will be able to arrive that late and all camp together comfortably? Any input would be great.
Sure, you’ll be able to be comfortble. Just put the Chubbiest one of you on the bottom 
HA! Awesome.
You should be nervous! :eek
On Thursday afternoon you’ll be lucky to find a spot big enough for two people to camp together, let alone 8 of you.
You will end up together in Town Park, you’ll just be 20 yards or more away from each other.
I would seriously look at ways to get there no later than Wednesday morning. :flower
