Town Park Campground
Located within a short walk of beautiful downtown Telluride is the Town Park Campground. All campsites operate on a cash only, first-come, first-serve basis and they don’t take reservations, so arrive early to get your spot.
Vehicles Campsites – There are 28 vehicle campsites, 10 of which can accommodate (most) larger RVs. A vehicle site is considered any popup or pull behind trailer, as well as RV and detached truck campers. For those with an RV it’s the only place within town limits where you can RV camp. There are no hookups, and dumping is available for a fee at the Waste Water Treatment Plant.
Walk-In Campsites – In addition to the vehicle campsites, there are 5 walk-in campsites perfect for tents. Bathrooms and showers are provided for use at the Town Park.
The vehicle sites limit up to 6 people per campsite and 2 vehicles (1 RV). Walk-in sites limit to 4 people and 1 vehicle. Seniors above the age of 59 can get a discount. You can stay at the park for a maximum of 7 nights throughout a span of 30 days. Checkout and check-in times are at 11 AM every day where you can also renew your camping pass.
The camping season is from mid May to mid October. However, it’s reserved for private festival only camping during certain annual events, including: Bluegrass Festival, Blues & Brews, Ride, and Jazz Fest.
