Know before you go

What you need to know

Planet Bluegrass returns to Town Park June 17-20, 2027 for the 54th Telluride Bluegrass Festival. The 4-night main run is paired with the Wednesday Nightgrass + Thursday Festivarian preshow. RVs are not permitted inside Telluride town limits during the festival; the canonical RV stage is the Mountain Village Town Hall lot (gondola access, no hookups, lottery permit) or Town of Telluride's overflow lots. Practical bases sit further out: Sunshine Campground (USFS, 8 mi south at 9,500 ft, 14 sites, no reservations) and Telluride Town Park tent + dispersed sites (no RVs). Most RV travelers stage at Ridgway State Park (~37 mi north, full hookups, reservation-window 6 months) and shuttle in via CDOT-50 / CO-145.

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 — what you won't find elsewhere

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.
