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.

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!

the bathroom house was not open and the porta john was full it was mid April if they are worried about pipes freezing at least the porta john should be usable. we paid $15 per night for what a place to park we use this campground every year but next year may just use a backroad campsite Ray Mitchell

We enjoyed some great weather for the time of year, but the restrooms and dump station were closed. Also noticed that even though the campground was booked solid for the weekend, there were many spaces that were open. The camp host was not present.
