Ami’s Acres Campgrounds

Great place. Shady areas for RVs and tent camping. Had a back in spot for my 31′ travel trailer that looked downhill at the Colorado River and across at the beautiful mountain. Located close to shopping and restaurants. Campground is terraced and on the side of the hill giving everyone nice views. Met and made friends with some of the long term people. Came in handy when asking about what to do and where best to go in the surrounding areas. Wifi is okay but not great. Stayed here 6 weeks and plan on going back. Our children (3 with their kids and husband) came to visit for ten days at a time, separately. They all loved the place. The camp hosts were always helpful with suggestions and provided assistance several times when we had some vehicle problems. At $ 26 a night it was a very good deal and well worth staying there. If your looking for one of those manicured, spit and polish, perfectly level places then you’ll need to go somewhere else and pay a whole lot more money. We like Ami’s. Our thanks especially to Craig who was most helpful. Thanks. Oh, and it is quiet and peaceful at night except when the train goes by around 10 pm; but having lived by airbases and train stations its nothing. Enjoyed sitting out star gazing at night. Went to Estes Park after here, paid more and had a dirt site to park on and no shade. No comparison. Ami’s Acres — family owned and our choice in Glenwood Springs.

Owner very friendly, glad to find a place to stop during heavy rain
WIFI very poor and weak dropped out
We gave up on WIFI
Over all sites very steep
Climb up to office something if you have trouble walking as I do

It doesn’t help that the last place we stayed with our new Airstream was a super luxurious RV Park in Las Vegas. However, this camp ground was just about perfect for what we personally prefer. We parked the Airstream and we had a great view of the river and the highway. It was walkable from the local mall. The only complaint is that the water is indeed very sulfurous. After the first day, we switched over to what we had stored and drank that– much better. So bring your own water unless you’re not sensitive to the local mineral flavor.

My wife and I were driving in from Wyoming and she called here to see if there were any vacancies. Because of our distance from them at the time, the phone operator told us quote: «your to far away tonight so I’m not going to waste my time talking to you» and hung up. RUDE! DON’T GO HERE.

As a nationally touring bicyclist, I found this place to be a good find. While being 20 minutes outside of Glenwood Springs and up a very steep hill was inconvenient, Craig (the owner?) took very good care of me.
Tent camping in the lower sites the first night was a mixed blessing for sure. Having water and electrical outlets a few steps away was nice, but having multiple trailer campers about the same distance was a bit much.
The second night I moved up to the close walk-​in campsites and was very pleasantly surprised. The sites had great artistic touches, pleasant views, more privacy, plenty of room to setup tents and relax, and they were close (ish) to quality bathroom/​shower facilities. They only lacked power outlets and individual water access. Thank you for the hospitality, I’d gladly stay in the upper sites again.
You might find better rates and better site selection sunday through thursday, and in off peak seasons. Enjoy.

Pros:
1– Pretty scenery
2– Craig (the owner) was knowledgeable about the Glenwood Springs area and very friendly
Cons:
1– Campsites are too close together
2– Quiet time starts at 930pm
3– Campfire is only a night activity
4– 30 $/​night for a tent site (it was a group tent site for 4 people)
If you want to have a good time camping and plan on staying up later than 930 I would not recommend staying at Ami’s Acres. Two different parties complained that my group was too noisy when all we were doing was talking around the fire later than 930.

We stayed here four nights in a tent trailer. We were given a site near the restrooms. There was not much shade or privacy between sites, but it was clean and the owner was friendly and accommodating. The water tasted very salty, so bring your own. The restrooms were well maintained. One shower had good water pressure, the other a trickle. Either way, it is nice to be able to shower when camping! We would stay here again.

$ 25 per night for a tent site with two power outlets, pull in access, clean flush toilet bathrooms and free hot showers. The showers were very clean and modern and the pressure and amount of hot water was great. There is some highway noise, but other than that it was great. Craig (the owner I presume) was very friendly and knowledgable about the area. I think there was also wifi, but when I saw the network pop up as available, he was already gone so I couldnt get the password. I saw someone on a laptop though, so I assume it works.
