Our family had an amazing stay at Camp Dan Bar. Check in was easy and the camp was clean. Adam was very responsive prior to booking and during our stay. We loved having kayaks available for our use and enjoyed several campfires. Great size and space for multiple families to enjoy. We would definitely stay again!

Very nice and clean property. Very spacious, enough space for 2-3 families. Beautiful front yard, right on the water, plenty of swim area for kids. Nice deck area to keep pontoon or boat. Fire area with nice Adirondack chairs. Overall, very lucky to rent this place for Fourth of July weekend.

We're an upstate NY family that loves boating, campfires, and time at the lake. We recently updated Camp Danbar to create the kind of Adirondack camp experience we always enjoy ourselves; relaxing mornings on the water, evenings around the fire pit, and quality time with family and friends.
