BEST FAMILY, DOG-FRIENDLY/QUIET CAMPGROUNDS IN NY
Over the years I have traveled cross country and stayed at many campgrounds (KOA & private). Some of the larger ones have activities and good facilities but almost everyone I stayed at had a difficult time keeping noise down to a reasonable level late at night. Not so with Daggett Lake. I have been going to Daggett Lake with my family for a week every year for the last six years and have always had a FANTASTIC time. What has always impressed me the most is how well-run the campsite is. I read a few of the recent reviews and I totally disagree with them. One in particular stood out. I think someone named DONNA has a personal ax to grind with the owners and has mentioned several things that are totally misleading from my experience and I take exception to. First, the place is extremely clean. Whether it is the campsites, bathhouses or cabins, I have always found the place to be immaculate. Even my wife, a self-confessed clean nut, has always been impressed by the campsites cleanliness. Second, I have never seen drunken parties, and the noise level is very quiet versus other campsites. Not noisier. It is true there is noise during the day from the ski boat where skiing lessons and rides are given but I don't think the noise level is excessive. As far as everything at the campsite being expensive, nothing could be farther from the truth. Prices for wood and other amenities are reasonable priced. Lastly, I find it very strange and suspect that there are two other negative reviews with no name attached saying almost exactly the same thing about Daggett Lake being the worse place in the world and the owners horrible people. The owners are definitely strict about not allowing unruly dogs or groups of people being disruptive late at night, but my family has always found the owners to be warm, courteous and honest people, the other campers and RV owners to be super friendly and the campsite to be a great place to relax and get away from it all. My family would not be considered seasonal but we are treated extramely well and I would unequivocally recommend Daggett Lake to anyone (especially families with kids and dogs) wishing to have an enjoyable time to visit the campsite and make their own determination.
