Tionesta Rec. Campground has gone down hill for the last 5 years or so. Grass needing mowed, trimming needed done, ditches were filled with debris so that when it rained they backed up and over flowed and they were not trimmed, posion ivy growing up trees near camping sites, and weeds and grass growing in the middle of the parking spots. And not to mention bathrooms need desperately to have an upgrade. Plus why can't the hosts do more? Maybe clean bathrooms, maybe mow or other such odd jobs. Or better yet put the Rangers to work. All I seen them do was run around driving a truck. I know funds probably got cut. But a lawnmower with a Rangers on would help or an odd job with a Ranger doing it. Funny how putting people to work at their jobs might accomplish thi gs. So I used to really like tionesta rec campground but it is becoming more and more not wanting to go there. It needs alot of attention that I believe could be handle if therangers did more and stuff.
