We love camping here and was glad to see it was mowed up. You are outside of town but can access it easily by bike or car for any needs or items forgotten.

Campground needs to be better identified from the main road. Difficult to find for out of town/state visitors.

Site 16 We were there for 9 days. Lost our canopy from an overnite storm. Happens when you camp. We had a great time, Its a very nice campground the bath house closest to us didn't have a shower. Honestly the bath houses at this campground really need updated.
Nice shaded campsite except for the constant traffic being by the entrance we didn't mind it. Having a camper near us with _5_ dogs that barked constantly was irritating. This is still our favorite campground and Tionesta is a nice little town. Allegheny national forest is right here also. We go back in 2 weeks for another 8 days.
