Winding its way through the rugged hills of northwestern Pennsylvania, Tionesta Lake offers a unique setting for a diversity of outdoor recreational fun. The Seneca named this area "where the water separates the land". Tionesta offers a rich history where narrow gauge railroads dotted the surrounding countryside hauling out virgin timber from the surrounding hillsides. Fishermen have found Tionesta to be enticing and productive. Another unique feature are the 48 lakeshore campsites that offer fishermen and families interested in camping along the lake the opportunity to do so.

Our family usually uses the bathhouses to shower, this trip they were filthy with cold water, we did n0t use them. We had trouble hooking up our waterline but the campground host was able to get another connector which worked.

Weve been coming to this campground for over 25 years.The care of the restrooms has really went downhill.The grass doesnt get mowed as often as it should either.

Over the river and through the woods! It would probably be advised to check the directions before heading there. Don't trust the RV gps. I went over some pretty "puckering" roadways before arriving. I have a truck camper that literally drives worse than a tank and I have driven a tank. There were several other rigs there that were much larger than mine. They most likely came in from another direction. I decided to try it out and booked it at the last minute. Once I arrived, the campsite was easily accessible and I was immediately met by the camp host. I arrived rather late in the evening so I only took advantage of the utility hook-ups while I stayed over night. A light rain put me to sleep and the site was very quite. I woke up to bright sunshine and some maintenance (which started at a reasonable time of about 9am). Overall a very pleasant stay.

We love camping in Tionesta. The sites are spaced far apart and secluded in a wooden area. We love to hike and there are some trails there that we hike on with our small dog. The campground is paved so we can ride our e-bikes. The hosts are friendly and so is the atmosphere.

The camper ground and staff are the best

camped here before and loved the sites we had. We had site 88 this time and it was awful. The water was the worst water we've ever had camping. It came out black at 1st and then remained rusty the entire week. When I returned home and drained my hot water tank it was completely rust water that came out and the rust sediment covered my driveway. Also the picnic table at the site was unusable as it was rusted so bad each end was broken and could not be used.
