Can't think of anything too close to Telluride with hookups. There are some forest service CGs in the area. Closest hookups I can think of would be in Ridgway State Park, any of the commercial CGs in Ouray, not sure about Norwood, to the west.
Land in Telluride is just too valuable for campground use, other than the one, the town sets up in the summer, primarily for summer workers as a place to set up their tents and live while they work.
Most workers in Telluride live in Norwood, Ridgway or Montrose and commute to work.

About 15 miles SW of Telluride is a NFS campground with full hookups - Matterhorn. It is just one loop with the hookup sites on the inside fairly close together. The campground in Telluride is at the end of town, not for big rigs and I am unsure if they have hook-ups. Beautiful area of Colorado, enjoy!

Three places in Colorado that you will not find full hookup near are Aspen, Telluride and Vail.

Campgrounds near To Hell U Ride? Simple - ain't none! Ridgway at the state park, Ouray or Priest Gulch down near Dolores are the closest. If you want FHU'S I am thinking KOA or Timber Ridge in Ouray or Priest Gulch. We stay at Timber Ridge.

I'm with Lauren. In Ouray, choose Timberidge CG.
