We always have a good time at Tionesta Campground. Our site number 2 was perfect and the restrooms were spotless.

Crowded with lots of families. Decent lake area for swimming. Campsite was unfortunately located where headlights were constantly hitting tent during the night, although this is not a concern for the majority of campers who are in RVs. Bathroom was a bit of a walk, but nice enough. Not too far from cool hikes in the forest area.

The site we were in had issues with the electric and I called and had to leave a message when we arrived at our site. No one ever came to check on the issue or returned my call the entire time we were there. The site itself was lovely and if it wasn’t for the electric it would have been a wonderful stay
