Great campground! We always enjoy camping and boating at Lake Shelbyville. Lithia Springs is a great place to stay. Nice camp sites (some take a little more leveling than they should). Lots of room. We stayed on site #14. I would like to see steps built into the walk down to the water. It’s somewhat steep but manageable. Highly recommend Lithia Springs! Having the Marina with Nessies available for food and ice cream is a plus! Can’t wait for our next trip!

Lithia Springs Campground improvements keep making the location better. It is good to have a new shower house. The polycast design of the building is durable and does keep in summer heat because of a lack of insulation. It is manageable.

Clean overall and keep a focus on cleaning the restrooms.

To think that they just upgraded this campground they did not even begin to make the sites good for travel trailers. They are quite unlevel. It’s really a shame because the park as a whole is very nice.

Love Lithia Springs. The recent improvements are amazing. Sad to see the laundry go though, that was a major plus. Keep adding more full hook-ups!

The lot i picked for my 35’ camper was questionable #51. If it wasn't for the fact a tree had been remove it would not have fit . The cleaning / cleanliness of the restroom facilities could have been better! NO SOAP at any one sink ! It was a warm week and with no AC in the shower houses , even the newest ones, it was a sticky situation!! One would think in designing them ac or a temperature activated exhaust fan could be installed. The new dump stations are very nice and the overall condition of the campgrounds are nice . I camp at Caryle ,mainly dam west, and its facilities are heated and air conditioned . A more pleasurable experience .

Nice site that backs directly up on the water. Swimming beach is just across the way. Entrance to site is very steep, bottom of site is level, at least for our 23 foot camper. Bathroom a bit of a walk uphill but clean.

Windy on the front end but that's common on the point. Cicadas were very heavy but we knew that was going to happen. Beautiful sunsets on 62 but know that there is intense sun on that site at the end of the day and prepare accordingly. As usual, excellent staff at the booth and taking care of the grounds and facilities. Love Lithia Springs!!!
