About Kellettville Recreation Area (PA)

Half of Forest County, where Tionesta Lake is located, is preserved as public lands. The region is known as one of Pennsylvania's best big game regions and is home to a remarkable variety of wildlife. Campers come to the Kellettville Recreation Area Campground to enjoy the forested area along Tionesta Creek. The area is ideal for fishing, hunting as well as scenic hiking. Tionesta is a culturally rich region with a long history. The Seneca Indian tribe named this area "where the water separates the land." Nearly a century ago, narrow gauge railways dotted the surrounding countryside, hauling out virgin timber from the hillsides.

Weve been coming to this campground for over 25 years.The care of the restrooms has really went downhill.The grass doesnt get mowed as often as it should either.

Have been camping here 60 years very nice- rustic- as there is no electric or water for drinking.

The campground was nice and the facilities were mostly clean. Some campers didn’t respect the quiet hours and the camp host didn’t enforce them. Actually I didn’t even talk to the camp host. They were missing in action. However it had a great time and plan to go back. The quiet hours isn’t a big deal just don’t love sleeping to the sound of generators.

I think the pathways to the creek could have been trimmed grass and weeds were pretty high , and the bathrooms needs more attention other than I love the campground.

First of all, Mike the host is one of the most helpful of anyone doing such a job. I’ve watched him go out of his way to make sure all are safe in storms or what have you.
Great Guy!
