Just spent another fabulous weekend at McNeil Scout Ranch at the Dietler campground. The camp host Scott, who lives on site, was very helpful and answered all of our questions prior to arrival. We have participated in a week long BSA summer camp here, as well as several weekend campouts with our troop and have enjoyed the location every time. We can't wait to come back! Our campsite had pit toilets and 6-8 picnic tables. Water was shut off to the site but available down the hill near the stables.
A great camp with lots of sites & facilities to host a great scouting events!!
Ask about stomp waffles! No, the adult leaders don’t feed these poop creations to the kids. They make the counselors (who are still kids) clean them out of the shower drains on a routine basis. Why? Great question! If this doesn’t inspire you to trust them with your kids, I really don’t know what will.
We had a GREAT time at our first Scout Camp! Staff are amazing with the kids and adults. Food was good and the indoor bathroom and showers are really nice and clean. The pit toilets are pit toilets. Make sure you have rain gear and good walking shoes. And get ready to have a GREAT TIME SCOUTING!
Participated in Colorado Scout Jamboree Sept.26-Sept 28. Over 2500 scouts and adults. My boss was very organized and a wonderful person to work with! Also attended the Wood Badge ceremony for a fellow scout. A memorable time.
The Greater Colorado Council is making huge improvements to the camp. Offering new experiences for Scouts. The completion of the Zipline/climbing tower is awesome.
One of colorado best venues for sporting clays. This is open for a public competition once a year.
