Safety + legal
8,750 ft elevation means altitude sickness is real — arrive a day early, hydrate, skip alcohol for the first 24 hours. Black bears are active in Town Park: lock all food in the rig or in the festival's bear-proof storage. CO-145 (Lizard Head Pass) hits 10,222 ft with 7% grades — gear-down RVs only, no jake-brake noise restrictions in Telluride town limits.
Insider tip
The Sunshine Campground (USFS, 8 mi south on CO-145) is first-come-first-served and clears around 9 AM as departing campers vacate — set an alarm and arrive Monday morning before the Wednesday Nightgrass shows.
