The AIYM Camp serves as a wonderful base camp and Christian Retreat for families wanting to recreate in the Rio Grande National Forest. Cabin rentals and Tent Campsites.
You are invited to stay on 185 acres surrounded by beautiful mountains in the Rio Grande National Forest. Escape the crowds and relax in the quiet mountains. Easy Alamosa River access. Close to outdoor adventures; fishing, hiking, biking, atv trail access. Come enjoy a secluded and unforgettable mountain experience!
The camp is in a wilderness setting with electricity supplied by a diesel generator that operates from 6:00 am to 10:00 pm. No cell service in the canyon but the camp does have a regular phone for special usage and satellite Wi-Fi for $10.
The most unique quality is the beauty and cleanliness of the forest. The quiet peaceful atmosphere of the canyon is hard to believe. This is the perfect place for families to unplug, get outside but still have some of the comforts we all enjoy!
We had an incredible experience tent camping at AIYM Ranch! Jim & Melony were exceptionally accommodating and friendly. They checked in with us regularly to see if we needed anything and made us feel very welcome. We had forgotten a few items at home, but they were kind enough to provide what we needed without any hesitation.
The campsite itself was in fantastic shape, located right by the river with plenty of trees and space for various activities. The restrooms and showers were very clean. There was a picnic table available, and we enjoyed building our own fire pit.
My wife and kids thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The giant field on the property was a huge hit; we were able to fly kites and play frisbee. The natural scenery around the ranch couldn’t be prettier.
We felt very safe throughout our stay, and the cleanliness of the campsite was impressive.
Finding and accessing the campsite was straightforward thanks to the clear directions provided by the owners. Parking was convenient and ample, with easy access from our vehicle to the campsite.
A highlight of our stay was the ranch’s proximity to several passes located in the Rio Grande National Forest, offering unbelievable views. I highly recommend visiting these spots for anyone staying at the ranch.
Overall, our experience at AIYM Ranch was extremely positive, and we look forward to returning in the future. Highly recommended for families and anyone looking to enjoy a peaceful and beautiful camping experience.

Never seen as beautiful land as this campground in my life. I’ve also never met anyone as kind and helpful as Jim and Melony. It was a beautiful campground with a cold river running through it that made for a perfect view to wake up to every morning.

BEST hosts & place to stay

I don’t even know where to begin……Our stay with Jim & Melony was beyond amazing! From the moment we arrived to our unexpected shortened stay, they went above & beyond to accommodate our family and the other families that were staying as well.
They were very attentive to any needs of everyone staying and even went as far as watching our puppy when we had to make an unexpected trip to the ER for a broken arm- by far the BEST hosts and place to stay- they deserve more than 5 stars!!!

Jim and Melony are excellent hosts who provided many suggestions for activities in and around the campground. Our group especially enjoyed the river tubing available on-site. The cabins are well-maintained and clean, and we will definitely visit again.

This camp site was amazing and the hosts were very friendly and accommodating. Site #2 is right by the river and there is plenty of shade. It was a great place to relax and listen to the river flow. We will visit again. Thank you.
