About this place
Mary E Campground is 7.4 miles west of Telluride, CO. Because of this, it is one of the most popular sites on the Norwood Ranger District. The campground can accommodate larger RVs (up to 40 feet in total length). The sites are more rustic than a more developed campground. There are 20 campsites, each having a picnic table and fire ring and 1-2 parking spaces. This campground opens to the public in late June, following the annual Telluride Bluegrass Festival.
