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.

Campsite 5 was very nice and grounds were well kept which was very much appreciated. Disappointed with the bathroom facilities due to active rodents and overall cleanliness and condition of sinks, toilets,
doors, etc. Would like to see a new bathhouse to include a shower as this is a gem of a campground which I plan to visit again this fall.

We had a great stay here. The host Mike was great and very helpful. This is a basic campground with no power and no water at site. We came with a full water tank, and luckily so, as other campers said the water was awful. It’s a quiet serene campground hidden in the Allegheny National Forest that picks up on the weekends. Don’t forget to visit Cougar Bobs if they happen to be open during your visit. Sites are pretty level and many are long enough for us to not have to unhook.

There isn't much for to do at Kelletville making the outflow campground a better option for those with kids. Kelletville does offer quiet and easy access to good trout fishing.

It was highly disappointing that the bathrooms were not open yet. The trash dumpster was also filled and trash was laying on the ground beside it. We have camped here before on that same weekend and the bathrooms were always open before

Overall a nice campground. The dump station was not operational when I was there in early May and could have used a dumpster pick-up by Waste Managment as the dumpster overfull with trash bags coming out the top of the dumpster.

Not my first trip here and my friends and family always have a great time. We use it as a base camp for fishing and the location is great for this.
