This is such a quiet place that makes it so enjoyable. This place is a primitive camping area. To bad some people have to have a noisy generator. Wish generators and chain saws could be band from this facility.

Always enjoy this campsite. The Tionesta river is always good for fishing. The camping area is quiet and we were fortunate enough to see some river otters last time.
Downfalls about Kellettville are no potable water, no showers, when there is more than adequate room for one in each restroom. Sadly the ACE seems to not have the finances needed to adequately maintain this beautiful area.

There were quite a few differences from last year. They took down the gate house with all the important info and phone numbers. They replaced it with a plastic shed….? They also didn’t have the volleyball net, or the golf balls&rope games out. I saw no rangers or Corp members patrolling or checking in on sites etc…I got pics of three Army Corps of Engineers park rangers trying to drill a hole in a wooden post, unsuccessfully! They failed and a camper/passerby had to fix it for them
Also the bathrooms were pretty rough this year, and so were the sites.
We’ll camp there again anyway!

Site was clean and beautiful area. Sites are a little close together but only half the sites were used during our stay. Wish there was a seperate area for tents and campers so we don’t have to hear generators all the time

Hosts are very knowledgeable about the area, always willing to stop and have a conversation and answer question. Quiet and peaceful area to just get some relax time. Would like if they could put in a shower in the restroom facility. The Tionesta river is great for taking my grandchildren fishing and swimming.
