San Isabel in CO?

I'm seeing a few negative posts about San Isabel, but they are from quite awhile ago. Has anyone used SI in the last few years? Our first choice, Camp Alexander, is already full, so we're camp hunting. Thanks.

We went to San Isabel last year and had a great time. Our acting SPL said that it was the best camp experience he had. It's a small camp and there were a few issues but all camps have issues. The smallness is also a benefit as you get to know the staff and other campers better that way as well. Overall, the camp staff were enthusiastic and as leaders we felt that the merit badges were covered well. A nice thing for the leaders was the next to last night, the heads of each program area were assembled in the dining hall so that we could review our scouts' progress to see if they had any requirements missing etc. I had to leave the final evening but my replacement stated that the same thing happened the final night.

 

The DO have bears so make sure that you prepare the scouts well. Absolutely NO food/candy in the campsite is the best policy and we enforce it in our troop.
