I'm pretty jazzed up, I've driven through Telluride a number of times but haven't had a chance to stay. Going to be hitting 2 days of the Bluegrass fest for my birthday this year. Got the concert tickets but the camping tickets are long gone. I'm keeping an eye out for resales but ... with the good chance of not finding camping tickets (need for Fri 17th/Sat 18th if anyone wanting to sell sees this) I'm looking for alternatives.
We don't really need a full campslot. Our tent mounts on top of our car (see below for an example of our setup, not my actual car) so we can sleep in it without taking up much more than a single parking slot. Any chance there are sleep-in friendly parking areas near the concert venue? I don't mind popping the tent in a parking spot, I just don't want locals or fuzz getting upset about it. Due to the tent-on-car we'd -prefer- to not need to camp too far away, so we don't have to tear down to drive in, but if we have to we can go to one of the parks and just tear down each morning.
If someone local has a good spot near the venue that wouldn't mind giving up some yard or driveway space, drop a note :)
If I get things worked out ahead of time, I'll post an edit here. Otherwise we're figuring on just finding a decent spot and hoping no one cares.
Our setup is basically this with a Jeep Grand Cherokee instead of the minivan:
