We stayed 5/17/24 to 5/20/24. The campground was clean and the grass cut. The bath house Needs updated. The pit toilets ran out of toilet paper on 5/19 and there wasn’t any in them on 5/20 when we left. There was a camp host onsite. The campground was almost full, but was peaceful. We have Verizon and service was one bar LTE. We would stay there agian.

A quiet campground in a beautiful area. Nice campsites with good gravel base. Pit toilets and flushable toilets in season. Riverfront camping available.

Large, level camp sites. The new pit toilets were a nice addition to the campground since I was there this past May. These and the bath house were all kept clean. The campground is fairly isolated but a bar about 1/2 to 3/4 miles away does sell ice. During my two trips this year there was no campground host. On this fall trip several of the campers were running generators after hours, in fact all night which shouldn't have been happening. If looking to get away from the rat race I would definitely consider Kellettville.

New vault toilet are nice but the lights didn't work inside or outside at night. Plus the smell from it blows right to site #2.

An unexpected gem of a campground next to a beautiful river, we were just passing through the area on a road trip but I think I could be a great place to return to and explore further!

We love coming to Kelletville to camp and have been going there almost every year since 2011. Always a nice and relaxing experience. We stayed at 19 for the first time and it was a nice site, although the grass could have been cut, but otherwise it was great as always. There was no host this time but that didn't seem to be a problem. Had a friend join us this year that has never been camping with us and he can't wait to come back. He said the stars were amazing to look at from the bridge.

Spent a night here as part of a 5 day backpacking trip on the North Country Trail. The site was nice, Tionesta Creek is pretty, and it was really nice to have running water and flush toilets after spending two nights in the backcountry. However, the washroom could use a little sprucing up. Be nice if that could be done.
