Ami's Acres Camping
Overview
Overview
Ami's Acres Camping offers a scenic retreat tucked into the mountains of Glenwood Springs. This family-owned facility provides a rustic mountain atmosphere that contrasts with large corporate resorts. Situated on a hillside, the park allows travelers to enjoy fresh air and stunning vistas while remaining close to modern conveniences. It is an ideal base for those wanting to explore the natural beauty of Western Colorado while staying within reach of the city’s most famous thermal springs and outdoor recreation areas.
Location & Surroundings
The park is located just west of downtown Glenwood Springs, positioned between the base of Storm King Mountain and the Colorado River. Its unique terraced layout ensures that many sites offer expansive views of the surrounding peaks and rocky valleys. While it is conveniently close to Interstate 70 for easy access, the elevation and natural terrain help maintain a sense of Colorado seclusion. The rugged landscape creates an authentic experience that feels far removed from the noise of the main thoroughfares.
Amenities & Park Features
Ami's Acres provides essential amenities designed for the self-contained traveler. The park features full hookup sites with both 30 and 50-amp service, accommodating various rig sizes from small campers to larger motorhomes. Guests have access to clean restrooms, individual hot showers, and a dump station. While the focus remains on the natural environment rather than luxury extras, reliable Wi-Fi is available to help travelers stay connected. The sites are graveled and well-maintained, fitting naturally into the hillside.
Nearby Attractions & Things to Do
Visitors are perfectly positioned to enjoy the world-famous Glenwood Hot Springs Pool and the Iron Mountain Hot Springs, both located just minutes away. Outdoor enthusiasts can hike the scenic trail to Hanging Lake or take a gondola ride to Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park. The nearby Roaring Fork River offers world-class fly fishing and whitewater rafting opportunities. For those who enjoy cycling, the nearby paved trails provide miles of exploration through the stunning Glenwood Canyon.
Who This Park Is Best For
This park is an excellent choice for adventure seekers and road trippers who prefer a quiet, no-frills environment. It specifically appeals to RVers who value a peaceful mountain setting and stunning scenery over resort-style amenities like swimming pools. Because of its proximity to major local landmarks, it serves as a perfect hub for couples and families looking to spend their days exploring the wonders of the Rockies before returning to a calm, scenic campsite.

All of the pros and cons on other reviews are accurate. I’m shocked that no one mentioned the water. We’ve been living in our travel trailer full-time for 6 months and this is only the 2nd spot we’ve hit where the water was undrinkable. We use two filters, one on the fresh water hose outside and a filtered pitcher inside the camper. The water was so foul tasting that we couldn’t even use it for tea or coffee (we tried!). It is not worth the hefty fee, for how basic the conditions at the campground are.

Great location and very clean amenities, but directly next to the freeway, making for a very loud experience.

Overall an amazing experience! Came from out of state and our first option of camping fell through the night of; called Ami’s Arces Campground and they fit us in and were super accommodating. The staff even stay a hour past there close time to make sure we had everything. The bathrooms were very nice & heated. Everyone was super friendly & incredible views from our site. It was a nice that they also provided firewood if needed. Very close to a cute downtown area- great ice cream & dinner options close as well. Overall highly recommend this campground if you’re staying in the area!

Pretty rustic place. Not for big rigs. Bumpy tight roads with tight turns and few tree issues. Super nice helpful hosts! Some sketchy sites occupied by run down dilapidated rigs built in 1980s. Bathrooms were ok nice. Fine place for an overnight stay.

I am on a cross country bicycle trip, Maine to California and decided to give this campground a try so I could rest for a couple days and charge up all my charging banks. Was an amazing place. My tent area was big and had amazing views. There are bathrooms and showers that are very nice and very clean. Everything is close by and the town itself is great. So much to do. Owner was very friendly and checked me in
