A closer look at the campground
Overview
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.
Recreation
In-season hunting, fishing, hiking canoeing and kayaking, are all available from Kellettville.
Visitors interested in wildlife viewing are likely to spot white-tailed deer, porcupine, wild turkey, osprey and opossum.
Facilities
Each camp site has a picnic table, fire ring and lantern pole. Vault toilet open year round*.
Available Starting Memorial Day Weekend -
Flush toilets and dump station are available

Natural Features
