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.

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.
