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.

This is one of our favorite camping sites. Great to canoe from here to Jughandle Rd, pristine trip! We also spend time birding here, lots of different species to look for. Great spot to enjoy the outdoors!

The campground is great. It sits on a beautiful place. However, it could use some updates. Perhaps our president could give some money to help people instead of taking it away.
