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.

Loved camping at Kelletville, this was out second time. Very peaceful and quaint. The host are great and so very kind. If you have Verizon you will have full service. AT&T has NO coverage. Minister creek is about 9 mi from camp ground, amazing place to hike. The creek is great to kayak as long as it’s deep enough. We were able to visit frog rock which was pretty cool to see. I will camp here again, love ANF!!!

We spent a week at site 11. The hosts were super nice and helpful. Cougar Bob's sells ice, kinda expensive but close. There was plenty of access to the creek without taking away from nature. We've been going there for over 20 years and this was the nicest year. And don't tell your kids but we have Verizon and always had service.

Disappointed in the reservation process. We have camped there many times when you paid upon arrival and had difficulty when we were surprised upon arrival that you had to reserve ahead. There was no cell service to reserve on line or call. This last time we reserved ahead and had a site where our truck camper wouldn’t fit due to low branches. We spoke with the host and luckily could move to another site as it was not full. This wouldn’t have happened under the old process. We are spur of the moment kinda campers and are very disappointed in the new reservation process.
