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.

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.

We loved this little campground. It was tucked away and very quiet. Great woods where we rode our bikes. Verizon cell service was very good. Campground hosts were very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back.
