Available Nov 13–15 · 2 nights1 site open for every nightA forested campground near fishing, and hiking. RV fit varies by site.
The lake and surrounding public lands set the recreational tone: Tionesta Lake carves through rugged hills framed by Allegheny National Forest, Cooks Forest State Park and several state forests and game lands, so wildlife viewing is strong expect white-tailed deer, wild turkey, porcupine, osprey and the occasional opossum. Fishing here is noted as productive, and the campground supports a range of activities from hiking and picnicking to environmental-education opportunities and in-season hunting on nearby public lands.














Length limits vary by campsite.

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 (21,731 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.
