About Kellettville
Kellettville offers a tranquil retreat in Pennsylvania's lush National Forest, centered along the gentle flow of Tionesta Creek. This cold spring area invites you to enjoy natural water play and the occasional swim in its cool, refreshing creek, making it a peaceful spot to immerse yourself in nature’s quiet charm.
Getting There
You can drive directly to Kellettville, as no hiking is required, making it easily accessible even if you prefer to keep things low effort. Ample parking spaces are available right at the campground, simplifying your arrival and departure during your visit.
What to Expect
The water here is clear but shallow for the most part, ideal for tubing and relaxed splashing rather than full swimming. Near the bridge just north of the campground, you’ll find a deeper spot where swimming becomes more comfortable. The atmosphere stays quiet with few visitors, so you can fully settle into the peaceful forest surroundings.
Tips for Visitors
Visit Kellettville in summer for the best temperature and water conditions. Bring water shoes to negotiate the creek bed comfortably and sun protection as shade can be limited near the water. Check for any camping fees ahead of your trip, as they aren’t always posted, and respect the primitive nature of the site by packing out all trash.
