The neighbors were extremely rude, when issues were pointed out to the rangers they sort of brushed it off. We had neighbors two sites down from us when we were in site 35 dump their black tank as we were trying to enjoy the outdoors, our other neighbors allowed their dogs to use the restroom behind our camper. We had other kids walking through our campsite bothering our dogs. Overall the whole trip was kind of a joke. We used to love lithia

Beautiful campgrounds with beautiful views of Lake Shelbyville. So quiet and peaceful. Saw deer outside our camper one morning. The fishing and swimming areas were perfect. Shower houses could use some cleaning and minor repairs. We will be back again.

I stay at Lithia Springs every summer. This year, I was disappointed, because I didn't realize I could make my reservations before April 1st, so I was unable to get a spot with water, power and sewer. I'll book earlier next year. The staff in the check-in station is always friendly and helpful. I love this campground!

The campground is super nice with beautiful trees and well manicured grassy areas. Many of the sites are very un-level but as beautiful as the place is that's ok. Be very careful if you have a big rig. We were on the A-leg.....notice it's not the A-loop!! All the back in sites on this leg were backwards from the direction you enter in from which makes backing in your spot quite a challenge. When you pull your rig down the A-leg road note that there is NO TURNAROUND area at all at the end of the leg. A small rig might be able to turn around easy enough but our rig is 42 ft and with my long bed pickup made it nearly impossible to turn around, therefore causing major damage to both pickup and fifth wheel. I guess you are supposed to back all the way down the road from the entrance of the park in order to back in to your site......don't know what the thought is there!!! Our #9 space was very nice, level and shady so we were so very happy with it once we got in. #7 was almost impossible to manage level. After we had the damage repaired on our fifth wheel we spent our last night in #D-104 up top near the entrance of the campground. Excellent spot for larger rigs. I'd recommend NOT going down the other legs.....most are backwards anyway!!!

Beautiful campground. We stayed in three sites . First was very unlevel. 2nd was perfect #9 A Leg. If you have a large rig you’ll have to turn around to get in a site. They all backward and not a place to turn around easily. Last site, perfect. Still no turn around . I don’t like to pull across grass areas but there is no other way in or out of the sites. We found no loops so you might want to walk the leg before pulling your rig down.

We have never had this issue before but the last time we camped there we had a site that played their music so loud that it was like we personally were playing it. Like I stated before never had this issue before. We will not camp at Lithia again on a holiday.
