Telluride Town Park Campground

The campground was full and I’ve mostly been dispersed camping but needed a shower after 5 days of baby wipe baths. You don’t need to enter the campground to use the showers they’re in the public area, you need tokens that you buy right outside of the bathroom. $1 is 1 token which gets you 75 seconds of hot water. I also stopped and filled my water jug right outside the host check in there’s a brown building with a copper roof and you walk to the back and they have 3 industrial sinks and a hose for water fill up or dish washing. Great for the convenience.

Incredible campground location. Camp host Fred was fantastic (2023). He ran a tight ship at the campground and stepped up to help us when our batteries died. He ran through a dumping rainstorm to grab an extra battery pack so that we could get our awning closed. Town park is lucky to have such a great host!

Perfect little campground, reasonably priced for its location, very clean bathrooms and within walking distance to town. They have new showers/bathrooms under construction as of 6/22 that will be open in about a month. A construction worker told me they’d have heated floors. They will also have three new dishwashing sinks on the outside of the building. I stayed at a site in my rooftop tent next to the bridge to the walk in sites, it was quiet every night with lots of shade and I was able to sleep in. I will return!

This park is very nice but, no camp fires only grills. And it is like a koa. Your so close together you can here people whisper. There is a pool and tennis courts. But the courts have to be reserved. There is lots of hikes nearby but you have to drive to a lot of them. It's ok for RV type campers, no full hook up though. But it's made for that type of life style. If you're like me and have a small bag ass hot hatch and just want to take a tent and be with nature. It's not for you. Also really hard to find campground in park at night not signs or maps.

Nice and quiet and close to town and trails. Only issue was the showers were not that clean and rather expensive.

This place has no disperse sites When we visited in July 2021. It was totally packed and seemed almost like too crowded. The person at the office was kind enough to show us other camp sites around town that are first -come first -serve and we found very quiet nice one in a forrest just 8 minutes away from this camp site.

Great campground very close to downtown telluride but has lots of trees so you don’t know it’s there. Clean bathrooms, clean grounds and large sites. Very dog friendly.

The campground is bordered on one side by the San Juan River and by the park on the other side, making a tight but nice campground. There are some walk in tent sites, but most sites are large enough to accommodate small rvs. Showers are by token only, available on the back side of the bathhouse. There are more showers available at the swimming pool if the campground showers are all being used. Just outside the campground, across the River are the River Trail and the Legacy Trails, and you are only about 8 blocked away from downtown and the gondola.

Fun place to camp right in town easy walking distance to stores restaurants and events. Streams running alongside the park hot showers clean restrooms woodedsights.

Context is everything. This is a campground right at the edge of town, this is not a off-in-the-wilderness location. If you want to camp steps from top class restaurants and bars, you can't beat this place.

After four days on the road in very remote locations, our goal was to not cook or have to start the car even once and have a cheap place to stay in Telluride. Bingo. What a great facility. We got a great spot along the creek, deep in the trees where we could hang our hammocks, and close to the bridge into town. Showers and bathrooms were clean and safe to use in these days of COVID. 

Only downside was the clumsy and time consuming process to reserve online. Well worth it.

Leave no trace.

Located inside the town park with jaw dropping views. Campsites are covered with tree bark, lots of shade and trees.

Located right on the edge of Telluride makes it easy to access the town. We set up camp and walked to get dinner/drinks that night. Quarter-operated showers and flushing toilets. Potable water and dish washing sinks.

Super convenient location literally in downtown Telluride. I was a bit unsure staying here because I typically prefer staying in secluded camping locations. This place had a really fun and unique vibe, felt more like an outdoor hostel than a campground. Met lots of great people. Definitely would recommend making reservations prior to camping here!

It depends which campground you get in Town Park. On the softball field vs vendor camp, totally different. Our experience is more vendor camp which includes- tons of trees, beautiful views, but minimum space for tents. Great bathrooms, running water and random portaloo during festivals. Showers are coin operated and nice. Always enjoy coming to Telluride, weather can be unpredictable so prepare for 4 seasons. Most of the year. Had a seriously huge bear walk right next to our tent, so make sure to be safe and aware. Lots of bears on the area. And they are crafty.

This campground rocks. Helpful staff, amazing views of the mountains, and 5 minute walk to the Telluride shops, restaurants and galleries. Bathrooms and showers are super nice and have hot water. A river/creek flows right next to the campground too which is lovely!

What more can you say when you're staying in the most beautiful place on earth? Telluride is not a spot to miss when visiting (or living in) Colorado. The campground is very well maintained, clean and well appointed. The spots are close together so plan to hear your neighbors and be very friendly with them. Go for a spot by the river if you can (deeper in the campground). This is, of course, a great place to stay during music festivals if you have the ability to get a camping pass early on.

This place is great being so close to town. Great place to camp for festivals. Awesome amenties.

This campsite is great if you want to do Telluride on a budget - it's free. It's right next to the town and is used a lot for Telluride's summer festivals. Its more than a campground it is also where a lot of town events are held and also has sports venues. There's also grills, bathrooms, picnic tables, a dog park, and a pond. Unless you're at a festival, the campground isn't where you will want to spend your time though. The campground is very close to Bridal Veil Falls, a huge free fall waterfall. You can drive or hike up to it, and climb around on the rocks and get blasted by cold water from the falls. It's huge. There's also a bunch of awesome hikes around Telluride - the San Juans are my favorite part of Colorado.

Town park is right at the end of town. Camp and enjoy the sounds of the river, nearby trails, and limited company. This campsite gets used a LOT during the summer as festival-goers camp to keep their costs down. Different festivals expand the Campground to accommodate for the influx of campers.

The stars have never seemed more bright.

Absolutely breathtaking views and a very quaint town.

We came here to camp for two nights. Loved it. You're only a few minutes from town but it's at the end of town so you don't really have any traffic or road noise.
