Brow Cabins, Allegany State Park

"First time back in over 10 years! It was great to be back with family and friends. Weather could have been better, but we made it work. Our group had a total of 5 cabins. The stoves and fridges were decent, cots had thicker mattresses than they did last time we were there. Reasonably comfortable. The new indian creek toilet/shower facility is very nice. Will be even better when the one near Diehl is finished. Also new for us was the beautiful biking/walking path that went all the way to quaker lake. It went at least to Fancher shower facility. It was very nice and gave everyone a safe place to walk and ride bikes without being on the roads. My only negative was the lack of service to the outhouses. Previously, maintenance staff visited every couple days, swept floor, replenished toilet paper and did a quick wipe down of the seats. Yes, they are outhouses, but used to be usable. The one by our cabin was pretty gross after 2 days (it served multiple cabins, not just ours). The one closer to three other cabins in our group was better, and only used by our group, so we maintained it ourselves. Allegheny is a beautiful park. We had a great time and are already planning next year's visit! There are numerous activities during the week for all ages. We saw deer, raccoons, fox, woodchucks, beavers, birds, and spiders! Lol. No bears, but they were around. We were very careful about food scraps and trash. There is now a central trash and recycling center near quaker lake for all trash. There are no dumpsters or other disposal locations."

"Excellent out-of-the-way location,. A little close to the construction/maintenance buildings. Bathrooms could use a thorough cleaning, cobwebs especially."

"We stayed in brow 3, and I have no complaints. The site is a bit muddy when it's been raining as much as it has been. But that's all apart of the camping experience. We had a blast, and can't wait to go back. All of the sites on Brow will be a pretty private experience. Outhouses and spickots are all close, too."

"4 stars because of the insert in the fireplace. It is ridiculously small and takes forever to get a fire started. Everything else was excellent."

"Mattress is full of mouse holes, it's a wreck."
