Best Cabin Camping near Portville, NY

Allegany State Park near Portville offers cabin accommodations in both the Quaker and Red House areas, with furnished cabin options featuring wood stoves, tables, and chairs. The cabins provide electricity and vary in size from compact units with twin beds and bunks to larger family options. "The cabins were small- one twin bed and a set of single bunks. You need to bring your own sheets. There is a small heater imbedded in the wall. It keeps things from getting too cold," noted one visitor to a nearby cabin facility. Many units are positioned along creeks or near water features, offering peaceful surroundings and natural ambiance.

Rustic and deluxe cabins are both available, depending on the location. Riverhurst Park Campground, Firefly Acres, and Retreat at Fern Hill all maintain cabin rentals with varying levels of amenities. Some cabins include full kitchens with refrigerators and cooking facilities, while others provide only basic furnishings. Most locations are pet-friendly, though specific policies vary by site. According to one camper, "The cabin is clean, large firepit, huge patio, great swimming pond with a slide. Cabin included many kitchen items as well as there being a full size freezer/fridge, tables and chairs on the patio. Pet Friendly but no fenced area."

Most cabins require guests to bring their own bedding, pillows, and personal items. Basic kitchen supplies like pots, pans, and utensils may be included at more upscale facilities, but campers should verify amenities before arrival. Firewood is typically available for purchase on-site at most locations, with fire rings provided at each cabin. During winter months, cabins with heating systems become particularly popular. One reviewer mentioned, "We head out to Allegany State Park every year in late fall. The cabins are perfect for cooler temperatures and cozying up beside the wood stove."

    Willow Bay Recreation Area

    Quiet nights, Easy days

    Willow bay campground is run by the National Forest Service. The reservable lots are wide and numerous for a out of the way sight. The campground services tent sites, RV sites as well as small cabins with electricity. There is a central bathhouse near the oak loop. Closer to the boat ramp sites- most of which are tent ready, there are vault toilets. These sites are less than a mile from the North Country Trail. Other, smaller trails are here as well. The New York State lone is less than five miles away- providing access to Allegheny State Park. The closest town of note is Bradford, which is about 18 miles away. It has all you need to get your necessities. The cabins were small- one twin bed and a set of single bunks. You need to bring your own sheets. There is a small heater imbedded in the wall. It keeps things from getting too cold, as it was when I was there. Fire ring and picnic table provided. Charcoal grill as well. The only problem I had was with the wildlife. A mouse or something kep crawling in the space between the roof and ceiling. There is no cel service here, and you shouldn’t need it either. Places to visit are too numerous to mention, but I will give a shout out to the zippo case museum, absolutely a must.

    Quaker Area — Allegany State Park State Park

    Quaker Area- Buffalo Cabin #8

    We head out to Allegany State Park every year in late fall. The cabins are perfect for cooler temperatures and cozying up beside the wood stove. The table and chairs provided inside the cabin are perfect for eating on and prepping food. 

     The buffalo trail is perfect for a weekend getaway, with Cabin 8 far in the corner, providing lots of space between nearby cabins. It is also beside the river and provides a wonderful sound to fall asleep to.

    Shower facilities are just down the road and were very clean! The bathroom facilities on the buffalo cabin loop are also equally clean and warm in the colder temperatures!

    Spacious

    Campsite layouts are non traditional with large driveways and often times the tables and fire rings are below the driveway.  With this layout you get more privacy with very few sites having and overlapping with other sites. Pitching a tent was easy on the driveway and fairly level. Some sites had large high sided fire rings which take away from the fireside relaxation of a shorter camp chair. 

    Bathrooms and shower house was below the standards of many of PA State Parks which we regard as the benchmark for campgrounds at reasonable prices. 

    Boating and biking all accessible from the grounds. No need to drive to the trails at Jakes Rocks.

    Potter County Family Campground

    A great campground!

    The campground is run by a family who is super nice. The cabins and the bathhouses were extremely clean. I stayed on a full hookup site that had water/electric/ sewer. The sites have Picnic tables and fire rings that are cleaned out.

    The campground was really close to Cherry Springs, where we could go stargazing! It is also close to Lyman Lake where we could go swimming and kayaking and fishing.

    I had an amazing time here and I already have other reservations because it was great for big families!

    There is also a huge ATV trail right across the road that my neighbors rode at all day!

    Willow Bay Recreation Area

    Willow Bay

    The camp grounds were great. Staff was very helpful and nice. Camp sites were decently spaced out. Fire wood was priced fairly well but they don’t usually deliver($).and they sell worms at the gate along with ice.

    The RVs had their own loop and tents and cabins were on the water down a wooded trail.

    The reason this was 4/5 is because you have to unload the car then walk everything to the camp. There is no drive up access for tent camping. A wagon is highly encouraged

    Additionally, vault toilets on the tent side and plumbing and showers on the RV side. Bathrooms were very clean and didn’t smell, the showers were hot.

    I saw some boats anchored at sites which I thought was nice. I also got to peek into a cabin and it was pretty cozy.

    Lyman Run State Park Campground

    Nice

    Nice alternative to Cherry Springs. Campgrounds are well maintained. Clean bathrooms with toilets, sinks and shower.
    We camped at site #26. Maybe had to walk in about 50ft. to campsite. Has fire rings and picnic table.

    Wooded sites

    Our campsite was waterfront and beautiful, but the majority were just a wooded setting. They all seemed decently spaced apart, or at least felt that way because they had trees between. Driveways had old pavement, some were not very level but wouldn’t be a problem if you can level. Our site didn’t have a good spot for a tent but some had grassy areas. Bathrooms were outdated but mostly clean, no paper towels or hand dryers. Didn’t see any rangers or park staff drive through, quiet hours were not enforced and we had a loud neighbor. Close to some nice trails.
