Telluride High School Camping

[FaceOnMars]

Where's the best spot to pitch a tent at the High School? And how many entrances are there to the field ? Is it kinda of like Warner? I like we have the grocery store right across the street .

Don't know about entrances, or best spot ... but there's now construction going on at Clarks.  They claim they'll be open continuously until the project is completed.

The Deli/Sandwhich shop called Zest (right above Clarks next to the visitor center) is easily one of my favorites in town ... great sandwhiches and soups at low prices (for Telluride's standards).

Thanks . I'm glad Clarks is going to be open during construction and maybe finished by Festival . I'll have to check out Zest . Great to have a deli place right across the street . Not cookin this year . I found its hard to cook at 8000 feet . Takes a lot longer . I tried it once and got frustrated . Theirs so much good food in Telluride . I had the best Chinese food I have ever had in Telluride .

High School Campground is waaaay laidback. there will be plenty of room and quieter than the others.

Families are encouraged to camp here.

Have fun. First come, first served, earlier the better. BTW, I don't believe there are many trees, so bring shade for early day and hanging out.

Nice Grassy field.

I'm excited to camp somewhere else . I've camped in Warner for the past 7 years . Sounds like High School camping is very similar to Warner . Big open grassy area with no shade . It will be nice to stroll through town on the way to the Festival . Might be a good change . Who else is camping at the High School ?

 Listening to: THE LONE BELOW .(pretty darn good)

Are the showers free at high school?

  Showers are 4 bucks... See

It's a great deal for unlimited hot water.

Is cooking allowed at the high school campground?  On a camp stove or small gas grill?  Any hints on how to wash up the dishes?
