Camping at Kellettville Recreation Area (Pa) near Tionesta

Public campground · Tionesta · 17 campsites

A forested campground near fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Recreation at Kellettville centers on creek-and-lake activities: in-season hunting is permitted in surrounding public lands, and fishing, canoeing and kayaking can be launched nearby; the broader Tionesta Lake area also offers boating, water sports, environmental education, picnic areas and playgrounds at other sites around the lake. For day trips, Tionesta Creek Road upvalley is a scenic drive and the Allegheny National Forest, Cook Forest State Park and several state forests and game lands are all within easy reach for longer hikes or wildlife excursions.

How far ahead to book Kellettville Recreation Area (Pa)

For June weekends, book about 118 days ahead. Three in four June Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 39 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (3,342 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
