Ami's Acres Camping
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.

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
Britt Senecal
Great campground. The owner was super cool and friendly and accommodating with my late check in. The camp sites were perfect size with a beautiful view. The sound of the highway could be an issue for some but I grew up next to one so it wasn't an issue. I'll definitely be visiting again.

We loved our stay at Ami’s Acres! The bathrooms were by far the nicest and cleanest of any campground we’ve stayed at—truly above and beyond. The location is beautiful and peaceful, nestled in the hills but still super convenient to access. Yes, you can hear highway traffic and a train occasionally (as other reviews mention), but honestly, that just makes it easy to find and drive to—a fair trade-off for such a great spot. We also enjoyed the nearby food options—there’s a delicious Salvadoran food truck close by, and a great Mexican restaurant too. The owner/operators were helpful and friendly. We’ll definitely stay again if we’re passing through. Highly recommend!

Beautiful view of the mountains!! Like you are sitting in their lap! And gorgeous stars and moon last night. Well maintained. Clean. Nice bathroom with soap and paper towels, toilets, showers and cold rain water showers! Friendly, helpful staff. This is right off the highway, which I wanted, so I did not take any stars away, but you can hear the cars passing on the road.

Great place with beautiful scenery! We stayed 3 nights with our dog and had a great experience. Craig and Tim were really nice and helpful and gave us great tips on places to visit and eat downtown. This campground is super pet friendly with very clean and well kept restrooms/bathhouses. The only thing we didn’t love was some of the long-term tenants junking up their lots and creating quite the eyesore for the campground. Other than that, it’s a great place for a great price! We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Glenwood Springs.

Pros: friendly staff and nice views. Good value for the money. Close to the highway and close to shops in town. Cons: roads were full of potholes and the full-timers’ sites were junky. We didn’t use their restrooms or showers, so no comment.

The first site we were assigned had a problem with the 50-amp electric service. We were reassigned a different site where all the electric circuits worked perfectly. But this second site had a downhill slope, from curbside to street, and the water was still turned off for winter. So the water we had was pooling on the wrong side and we were only able to get a few gallons before the pump couldn't get anymore. Aside from those hiccups, the camp was charming and located nicely by the river, just off the highway. The showers and restrooms were perfectly maintained and toasty warm. ☺️ We were delighted to stay the night here, and we'd recommend it to anyone.
Jacob Stout
Absolutely loved this campground as it’s great for a quick overnight stay or a few days exploring Glenwood Springs. Super kind staff, clean facilities, and spectacular views of the mountains accented by the sun and moonlight. Very easy to get to local stores from the location as well. Definitely plan to stay again when back in CO!
Emma McGuire
Amazing view, awesome staff, quiet and space from other sites on property. We did a walk-in tent camp for 2 nights. The privacy was great with a nice mountain view. Near bathrooms and showers. The only complaint is that it is right off the highway, so it's a little noisy with traffic, but it's nice to be just about 5 miles from town. Would definitely recommend it and come back! Thank you for a great stay!
