Kellettville Recreation Area (PA)

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.

It was a perfect last minute getaway for us. The site had enough room for me, my husband and our dog. Really nice picnic table and bathrooms were cleaner than I expected. There is a fantastic restaurant down the road if you want to visit it, it’s called Flying W Restaurant. The only thing I wish the campsite had was more privacy between sites.

My family and I absolutely love this location. My grandchdren love being so close to the water for fishing and swimming. With that said,, when I first started coming here ,there was water spigots available in three different locations, now there is no potable water available, nor is there a water spigot available to fill your fresh water tank in the camper.
It would be great if the Army Corp of Engineers would invest the effort into this campground as they do some of the more up to date campgrounds under their jurisdiction..
I would like to see the campsites mowed more on a regular basis.
I would like to see potable water and a couple of spigots available to access said water.
I would like to see the the installation of a single shower stall in the male and female restrooms.
This campground is loved by those who visit, it's a real shame that it is not as we maintained as it could, or should be.
When the government allowed for the Corp to take over waterways for preservation and protection that should as well include the surrounding area along these waterways as well. I have camped on the Tionesta River since youth when camping was a first come, first serve basis, no fees, you could camp all summer in the same camping spot...which we did. Most people brought their own lawns mowers to keep their sites mowed.
I just see so much potential for this 20 site campground if time and love were invested.
It just saddens me that it's a job to take take care of it, not a love for the campground.

A beautiful campground that’s peaceful and quiet. A beautiful stream and plenty of scenery.

Nice stars from the parking lot: fully-detailed Milky Way, thousands of stars visible after dark, many sporadic meteors, SQM reading 21.5.
An isolated house on a bluff has an overpowered spotlight that can be seen throughout the whole valley.

Great place to relax swim and fish plus you can walk, ride your bike or golf cart to the local pub!

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
