Diehl Cabins/Campsites, Allegany State Park

Stayed on Diehl 21 Memorial Day weekend 2023. The best, most spacious & private tent site! Next to the creek at the very end of the trail. It’s farthest from the bathhouse, but there is a porta potty there (we brought our own). Use the bear box provided to store food & grill. We didn’t see bears but had raccoons trying to open our grill late at night, when we forgot to store it.

This was the first time I have camped in a tent, we always camped in the cabins. It was very peaceful and beautiful! The trail I was on is not too far from the cabins that we always get. I personally prefer cabins that have a table, cots and a propane stove inside. No need for all the bells and whistles in the newer cabins, I’m trying to take some time away from the rest of the world and disconnect. Camping here does exactly that, allows one to disconnect and decompress for a while. Not much for cell service while I’m the camp grounds but that’s probably for the best anyways. I absolutely recommend trying it out if you want some peace and quiet and can allow yourself to stay away from phones and other electronics for a bit.

Diehl 1 October 13-16 2023. Great cabin, bathhouses nearby and at one trail head of Bear Caves / Mt. Seneca. We rode bikes 1.4 miles to the trailhead, hiked the trail, then ended at our cabin and picked up the bikes with our vehicle. Next to the new Quaker bike path as well and new bathhouse!

It's a really nice location. Will come back again. Wish the beds in the cabins were just wooden platforms in could put my own camp mattresses on instead of metal bedframes with springs and plastic mattresses. Staff was super quick and helpful when our heat wasn't working.

Good spot for camping during summer and fall! Did the camping last week and it was pretty chilly at night. Would recommend bring extra blanket.
