WooooHooooo! So excited for Telluride Bluegrass Festival 2015.

I started out at the High School camping my first couple of years of TBF. The long hot showers are the best. Close to downtown. A grocery store across the street. A great night sleep.  No hangovers.

Plenty of sleep and no hangovers???  That sounds wayyyy too much like regular life.

I would agree, keep checking this site for TP passes, that is what will make the best "once in a lifetime" experience", however I will warn you, if you do that.........it won't be a once in a lifetime experience! You will get NO sleep (sorry Hooch, passed out is not sleep), you may catch Billy Beru with his pants done,(not a pretty picture,and I have photographic evidence) and you may just pass Hot Sugar on the way to the Hospital! But you will have more fun than you thought was humanly possible in a weeks time. So my advice is look for TP passes, you will be able to secure them before fest (I got two last year two weeks before the fest with one post on this forum). Then sell those 4 day passes and Jump in strap down, hold on and get ready for two things: 1 the time of your life 2 Crunchy Frog 3 BACON?.......oops that's three things, I guess to much Crunchy Frog!

Plenty of folks get sleep in the tarp line...
Warner Field ticket works, too!

I stayed at Illium the first couple of years and have been doing HS ever since.  I love that you are able to walk to Town Park instead of having to take the shuttle (very convenient for tarp runs in the morning).  The only setback may be not being able to drink or smoke, but usually I am at the fest most of the day so it doesn't really bother me.  Also peace and quiet cant be beat after a long day!

[Hot Sugar]

You will get NO sleep (sorry Hooch, passed out is not sleep), you may catch Billy Beru with his pants done,(not a pretty picture,and I have photographic evidence) and you may just pass Hot Sugar on the way to the Hospital!

If you're lucky, you may even get to share a hospital room with me for most of the fest!

No one mentioned Lawson Hill as an option. I know it's camping on a baseball field, but any view in Telluride is beautiful. It doesn't matter. They had a shower trailer, which Illium does not have (at least it didn't when we stayed there in 2013). And it is still along the river. Lawson is a shorter shuttle ride so we did go back some days to get night gear instead of carrying everything for the entire day and night with us (bathing suit to winter coat and hat) like we did when we camped at Illium. Though you are making some good points about the high school. We usually go to night grass every night and are pretty tired by the time we get back so I don't think I would mind camping there. This is our 3rd year and I'm also realizing that getting TP may not be that hard, though may have to trade some prime late night tix. Only 2 out 14 got TP last year so that's how I got my late night by trading those.
