dehydration, which is a major factor in altitude sickness.

Campground Rules and Information

We highly encourage you to practice leave no trace and low impact camping. The Town of Telluride & Lawson Hill
Property Owners graciously provides the land to us. Please help us leave the area in the same condition in which it was
found.
CAMP SITES Space in all campgrounds is available on a first-come first-serve basis. Camping is sold per person and
not per site. Please clean up campsites before leaving each day to avoid trash and/or food being blown about and
attracting wildlife. Store food & alcohol out of sight within enclosed places such as tents, vehicles or coolers.
NO OPEN FIRES The residents of Telluride have passed a clean air ordinance, which bans the burning of wood year
round in homes and outdoors for air quality purposes. We know the nights can be chilly and that campfires are part of
camping life, and we miss em just like you do. Thank you for your understanding and willingness to treat the town with
the same respect that the local residents do year round.
NO PETS - Pets are not allowed in the event grounds, any campground or parking lot. Please be a humane and
responsible owner and make arrangements for your pet to stay at home or in a kennel. Service animals are allowed.
CHARCOAL GRILLS - Charcoal grills are only allowed in Town Park. Backpacking stoves must have a metal pan in the
Lawson Hill campground in order to protect the grass.
TENT STAKES -To protect the irrigation systems, tent stakes longer than 6 are prohibited in the Lawson Hill
campground.
GRASS No driving on or burning the grass in the Lawson Hill campground.
DRINKING WATER - Water is available at all campgrounds and the Conoco station outside of town.
TICKS - These little pests are always troublesome. Please take precautions.
NO VENDING - Per Town of Telluride ordinance it is illegal to vend within the event grounds, campgrounds and parking
lots.
MISCELLANEOUS - No camping within 30 feet of any water source. In addition, there is no bathing or dishwashing
allowed in any stream or natural water source.
TRASH, COMPOST & RECYCLING - Be responsible and keep campsites clean! Use Port-O-Lets, trash receptacles,
recycling & compost bins correctly. It is imperative for campers to embrace Leave no Trace camping practices. We
have at least one recycling & composting center in each campground. However, both efforts will only work if all of us
make it work. Do not put trash in the recycling or composting bins or nothing will get recycled or composted. Clean up
your campsite daily rather than all at once or the bins will become overfilled and our staff overwhelmed. If you have any
questions please ask a staff member. Thanks for your help!
LOAD OUT PROCEDURE - On Sunday morning hundreds of campers need to pack up and load out. To avoid chaos and
frayed nerves please follow these procedures:
1. Break camp.
2. Move your gear to the nearest convenient pick up spot.
3. THEN AND ONLY THEN, go get your vehicle.
4. Cooperate with staff when parking.
5. Load out as quickly as possible.
6. Since the campground closes at 11a.m., please plan on being out by 10:45 a.m.
