AIYM Camp is an amazing place; I highly recommend it. It’s a beautiful setting, every aspect of the facilities is in amazing condition, clean, functional and seems brand new. But, what really made our stay special was the hospitality of Jim and Melony. The are so warm and welcoming, giving us insight about the valley and activities in the area. This is a special place that we plan on returning to. I give it my highest recommendation.

My wife and I spent 2 nights and absolutely loved it. William was a great host and made us feel welcome, and the camping area had everything we needed to cook and clean. It’s a gorgeous spot, quiet, and lots of deer and wildlife about. The breakfast and coffee provided each morning were an extra great touch, as well as the green treats. Highly recommend!

Good tent camping! Very cheap showers that were hot and clean! Had laundry machines available too. Didn’t use the pool, but it looked nice and well taken care of! Very clean campground and clearly well taken care of. Only 35-40 min away from the Great Sand Dunes National Park too, which is why we booked it. Definitely recommend!
