Seneca State Forest — Attraction in Marlinton

This is a beautiful park. We stayed in cabin 8 (rustic cabins). This is several miles back nestled into the woods near the river.This is the best way to detox from the hustle and bustle of electronic connection. We happened to see the mountain laurel in full bloom and the rhododendrons coming into bloom. We saw lots of fawns and deer. The weather was off and on rain but we had plenty of time to do everything we wanted to do. We saw Ghost Pipes (wild flowers), many beautiful fungi, and many other natural beauties. The site and cabin were very clean. They come furnished with all pots/pans/utensils and dishes some that are for outside and some for inside. The wood comes with the cost of the camping. The latrine with the cabin was clean. There are 2 showers (free of charge) at the ranger station area. The staff are very knowledgeable about the grounds and the area. They are welcoming. I highly recommend Seneca State Park for people of all ages. Also the kayaks, paddle board, and row boats are free to use...

One of my favorite places to see Fall. Staying at the pioneer cabins was quite an experience. You get to experience cooking with a wood stove (some cabins also have a gas stove), lighting a gas light, and hand pumping water from a well. Despite no electricity or running water, I didn't feel like I was roughing it. You get plenty free woods from the shed, free hot water shower and internet at the headquarter (5 mins drive from the lake), and the beds are very comfy and plenty warm blankets even if you suck at keeping fireplace going at night (the wood stove actually functions better than fireplace). The view around the lake where the cabins located is very peaceful and scenic. However, the hiking trails in this state forest is generally difficult (either too steep, too muddy, too many spider webs, or too hard to find) and there is no...

The cabins are FILTHY , Dirty !!!!!!!!! One year later I can't get over the negative experience we had !!!!! Words just don't explain !!!! The cabins have bugs and FLIES ,and they are in desperate need of repairs !!! Trash ,pieces of trash stuck in the screens and walls to fill the holes , REALLY? Nasty! A large hole in the bottom of the screen door, anything (a snake) could of crawled in!! The top of the stove had a inch of grease on it ,as if someone had cooked directly on the stove and left it, I couldn't use the stove because of the grease (Fire hazard)!! I tried to clean it off but do you really want to do spring cleaning on your vacation??? Nasty, DIRTY, NEGATIVE DARK ...?? Word won't describe ,.. I know one year later it's still a dark depressing feeling when I think about it ,.. NEVER AGAIN ,...
