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.

This is one of our favorite camping sites. Great to canoe from here to Jughandle Rd, pristine trip! We also spend time birding here, lots of different species to look for. Great spot to enjoy the outdoors!

Not my first trip here and my friends and family always have a great time. We use it as a base camp for fishing and the location is great for this.

Overall a nice campground. The dump station was not operational when I was there in early May and could have used a dumpster pick-up by Waste Managment as the dumpster overfull with trash bags coming out the top of the dumpster.
