25The sniffspot itself was great! However, if you have a reactive dog this is not a good sniffspot for you. We were told that there would barely be anyone around, especially during this time of year, which was a complete lie unfortunately. We encountered multiple dogs, including one that ran directly at our car and jumped in. There were 5 or 6 cars that drove by, and the campsite is a bit of a walk from the beach which adds extra difficulty if you have a reactive dog. I feel bad giving this two stars because the spot was really nice, but I feel very mislead, and this trip could’ve ended very badly if that stray dog had jumped into the car with my dogs and my mom inside, instead of the separate car I was driving. I just want to emphasize; DO NOT BRING YOUR REACTIVE DOG. The owner should be more upfront about the amount of traffic and people in the area.

    Host replied: Thanks for visiting. The area was advertised as being located on a public road where occasional cars, people and other dogs may be seen. The beach is 1/2 mile down road from campsite as advertised and is visible from road as advertised. I have never encountered a stray dog and I have owned the property for 20 years. This road is a quiet country road most of the year and light traffic at best is seen during midweek. It will certainly become much busier as summer approaches. I welcome you to come back and enjoy all the campsite and beach has to offer.

Let your dog run wild and play on our hay meadows in Putnam Station NY. Spot is woman owned and operated, features seclusion and great visibility for a safe, rural experience (please see the map included in the listing). Wide open meadows are beautiful and convenient to NY 22 on a quiet country road. Easy, paved access from the Eastern shores Lake George NY, near Fort Ticonderoga, and the Western Shore of Lake Champlain. Dog owner DOES NOT need to clean up pet waste at our spot ;D Your pet's poo is a beneficial deterrent against crop damage and helps keep deer from hiding their fawns in the meadow. You should have leash, voice, or buzz collar control (we have collars available) to protect from escape into the wilderness or out onto the road. Please contact us a day in advance if you would like to borrow buzz collar system or GPS (so we can make sure everything is fully charged). Our town is VERY strict on DCO enforcement - no loose dogs on the road or neighboring properties EVER please, they would probably send you a ticket in the mail! :P If you anticipate having trouble with keeping your dog close upon entering/leaving the meadows please bring your car well within the steel gate to park before letting pooches out onto the meadows - there is a magnificent view toward the end of the access road and space to turn around in dry weather. Water features are available through streams and small ponds at various locations in the woods, also along the lake there are some ponds, for those who want a longer adventure. Pets may dig anywhere along the wooded edge of the meadows, please no digging in the grassland.
