Mary E Ilium Campground
Mary E Ilium Campground
Includes 4-Day PassMary E Ilium Campground
Mary E. Ilium is a forested campground along the South Fork of the San Miguel River, about 7.7 miles from Telluride Town Park, offering a quieter, more backwoods camping experience surrounded by trees and the San Miguel River.
Shade is plentiful, cell service is not — but that’s part of the charm! It takes a little longer to reach the Festival grounds, but the peaceful, tucked-away setting makes the journey worth it.
