Thank you to the over 1800 applications that were submitted to this year's PA Firefly Campout Lottery. The lottery applications closed on March 30 and the names were randomized. Those lucky people selected were notified on March 31. Please check your email for notification. We do not notify the remainder of the list, but will keep the names in queue until all the sites have been claimed, and on a wait list if there are cancellations. You may want to check your email periodically up until the week before the events in case of cancellations.

We know that there are many who will be disappointed and left wanting for a firefly viewing experience this summer. We wish everyone could participate, but the change of location, the limited audience and restricted nights are all in effort to protect the sensitive habitats and the delicate fireflies from the adverse impacts of too many people. The good news is that Kellettville is not the only place in Pennsylvania with fireflies. Please be sure to check your nearest State Parks for firefly programs. Many programs are even free. We hope you will see some fireflies this summer and encourage you to enter again next year.
