The park area is referred to as the Black Forest of Pennsylvania. Its dense tree cover and mountainous terrain attracts thousands of campers who bask in the serenity of the forested scenery along Kettle Creek. The park is named after Ole Bornemann Bull, the famous Norwegian violinist who toured this country in the 1850s. Ole Bull grew fond of the Potter County landscape and attempted to settle a Norwegian colony in this area in 1852. Camping is permitted year-round. Two camping areas along Kettle Creek provide sunny and shaded sites. All sites include a picnic table, fire ring and level gravel pad. There are 24 sites with electric hookups in Area 2. Area 1 has two sites with electric for people with disabilities. Water hydrants, rustic toilets and a sanitary dump station are available. Pets are not permitted in the campground.
