This is our favorite campground! Such a peaceful setting with lots of trees. You will find many sites with a combination of sun and shade. The sites along the river are our favorite but we've never had a site we didn't like. We enjoy the short hiking trail right in the campground and also the trail from the overflow to the dam. There is also a great frisbee golf course at the dam. The local town has a lot of character and a great trading post just in case you need some camping supplies. You don't want to miss stopping at Bananas for ice cream!

Another great stay at Tionesta Rec area. The sites are nice and the restrooms are always clean and well stocked. We have stayed here three times this summer and we've enjoyed ourselves every time. We will surely suggest this place to friends.
