Group trip
Our stay at Slice of Heaven exceeded our high expectations. When we arrived we were greeted by the host and given a full rundown of the property. Tricia was very generous and made sure we were going to enjoy our stay. We arrived at night to a very cozy remote cabin. The wood burning stove was fully stocked and created a warm environment. My group of six all had comfortable sleeping situations and were able to cook full meals in the well stocked kitchen. We were only able to stay one night and weren’t able to fully check out the property but, from what we saw we were thoroughly impressed. If I’m ever back in Colorado I would love to stay here again. Overall, I would highly recommend staying here!

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.

Man! Brigette was very welcoming, clear on guidelines, and my stay was amazing! They provided just enough for me; bed, heater(freezing temps), and restrooms with showers!
I stayed in Cabin 3. Had my own cooking equipment, firewood, sleeping bag, and portable fridge. Nights inside the cabin were peaceful, serene, and relaxing. the mornings and afternoon felt great! I wasn't there for the weekend which is when the kitchen and bar is open, but their store had everything you'd need for a remote stay. WILL SURELY LOVE TO BE BACK!!

My mother, brother, our two dogs and I stayed here in late June and again in early July. We took one of the first sites and it was plenty large enough for three tents - a one man, two person, and three person tent. There were people around, but being Covid times, not full.
It had a nice firepit, but the fire restrictions were in full force, so we didn't get to use it. We used our camp stove instead and it was just fine..
The sites are all close to the creek, which is beautiful in view and sound. Plus it was great not to have to walk to far to get water (don't forget to filter), and the sites were still far enough that the bugs weren't horrible. The mosquitoes were out as other reviewers describe, but not in full force yet.

2020, June. This campgrounds is closed and not maintained. They do not have a water permit or a host I was told by rangers. Covid 19 contributed. There is however, plenty of Dispersed camping the couple of miles in. Meadows or forest. The dirt road is decent and I saw some fifth wheels around. Lots of off roaders too. Pit toilet and parking at the two lovely fishing ponds.

We had planned to camp at Bristol Head campgrounds. Somehow we passed it up and man we were so glad we did! We found site number 13. Right next to a flowing creek with awesome views of the mountains. Not far away is the road the leads to the switchbacks towards the falls, No doubt we will come back here.

We went in early Fall and mosquitos were not a problem. It's a small number of sites, but cool next to the creek in shady campsites. There IS potable water about one mile away at the park in Crestone, from a pressurized spigot. Very close to the Sand Dunes, it's a nice site, strategically located and well-maintained.

I loved it here! Not crowded at all, quiet and every spot had a good view it seemed. Clean bathrooms are a plus too! Make sure you have water and other things before you head up the dirt road.

One of our favorite camping spots. Great views of the San Juan valley and the Dunes can be seen to the north after a 5 minute walk. Plan on a twisty dirt road to get in and start climbing a bit in elevation. The Zappata falls are a quick hike but there is plenty more trail for people who would like to make a day trip into the mountains.

Wonderful place close to one of my favorite places to visit, the Great Sand Dunes. This campground is relatively new so all sites and facilities are really nice. The views across the valley looking at the Dunes are incredible. Hiking to Zapata Falls and in the surrounding area is well worth the trip. When you turn off the highway heading to the campground the vegetation is really sparse but the road climbs quite a bit so you end up camping in an area with pinon and juniper trees. Hiking up to the falls gets you into pines.

Let me start with the pros of this campground: It's tucked away with only a few sites and very little traffic. The sites are large and spread apart from each other. The creek runs through the back of every site. Sites are well-maintained. Now for the cons: I have literally never seen so many mosquitos in my whole life. The swarms were thick and you couldn't move without having a handful stuck to you. We covered up head-to-toe in loose-fitting clothes and I still walked away with over 30 bites on my ankles (where my socks were tight enough for them to bite through), wrists, hands and forehead. We were trapped in our tent the whole time we were there to avoid being eaten alive.

I camped at Storm King Campground on Memorial Day weekend 2017. My friend and I had the whole place to ourselves. It was fabulous. The campsites are big and spaced apart, with some on the side of the mountain and some overlooking the meadow. The toilets were fairly clean with plenty of toilet paper. The fire pits are deep and have nice movable grates on them for easy campfire cooking. The only downside was the ATVs cruising into the campsite and up and down the County Rd. 41 G early in the morning. The noise kinda killed the tranquil woodsy vibe we had going, but other than that it was a dream.

Awesome campground 10 minutes outside the Great Sand Dunes National Park. The Zapata Falls are a 1/2 mile from the campground and make a great quick hike before heading to the dunes.

The cabin is sweet - clean, warm, and the propane lights make it cozy. Not quite as isolated as it looks as there are a few houses across the stream. The trail maps show hiking trails starting at the cabin, but they were so overgrown we couldn’t follow them. There are plenty of forest roads in the area and we had no problems in a 4WD SUV. Mining was huge here in the 1800’s and there are still old mills and mines around. There has been a huge cleanup but the water still looks a bit funky in the streams, not sure the fish would be good to eat. There aren’t any showers but if you want a good soak Joyful Journey Hot Springs is only about 45 minutes down the road. All in all we had a great time and would highly recommend it.

Great spot! Bring shade though as there is none. Great trail loop around reservoir. Lower Loop Site #1 is truly the best there and worth the price. Fills up quickly with RVs in the weekend. Quiet and good fishing spot. Best vault camping bathrooms EVER!
