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.

We stayed in June during Firefly mating season. There were notices everywhere about lights out for fireflies for June. The bathroom was the brightest light pollution in the surrounding area. It was unnecessarily bright late into the evening. The outdoor lights could be removed/ turned off or covered to dim. The inside lights more than sufficiently lit the outdoor area. Through the shaded windows. It would have been obnoxiously bright even if we weren't trying to see fireflies. Don't book a sight close to the bathrooms. Otherwise facilities were clean and well kept on the women's side. Heard the men's side were gross. But that's not the parks fault though, be less gross men! But maybe schedule cleaning the men's side more frequently. Overall lovely stay and very reasonable sites.

The site was absolutely beautiful, campsite neighbors were great, and the water was lovely for me and my dogs. The only downside were off-leash dogs down the road who weren't under control but we just avoided them :) Will absolutely be back!

The campground is nice, but Army Corp. need to stop cutting all the trees. Without electric people like some shade.
That would be nice.
Whatever the case shall be ...we will continue to come back year after year

We love the new improvements! Our site was level and clean. We had a wonderful weekend, and will continue to stay at Kellettville in the future.

Had a group of campers playing really loud music all day long up until 11:20 at night. Ended up packing up and leaving after one night of my weekend reservation.
