Telluride Town Park
Telluride Town Park is the municipal park and campground at 500 East Colorado Avenue in Telluride, Colorado, and the grounds of the Telluride Bluegrass Festival sit within it. The terrain is mostly flat, with concrete and hard-packed dirt paths, accessible seating areas and a wheelchair platform, though dirt, gravel and grass still make getting around harder. The campground is right next to the festival entrance, with potable water, permanent bathrooms, porta-potties and token showers, and during festival blackout dates it is run by the festival and needs a festival camping pass.
