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.

Usually a nice and quiet stay here. For some reason they are clearing brush between sites so it's not as private.

A very quiet campground for those in search of peace, low noise and darkness. Right on Tionesta Creek.

Will definitely visit again. Kelletville has been saved as a favourite location on my maps. It was difficult to get onto the website to book the day before due to spotty cell coverage in the area. It would be helpful if there was a way to accommodate drive-ins who have not yet booked online. I happened to be in the area, thought that Kelletville looked nice and wanted to stay. I had to drive quite a distance to find cell coverage to book. I managed but with some frustration. Kelletville was quiet, and relaxing. I love that there is a no-alcohol policy!
