About

State Park

Well-known for its natural spring which flows year-round, cool, clean water into the Alafia River, the Lithia Springs Park was originally purchased by Gardinier, Inc., a mining company that soon became Mosaic Phosphate, Inc. When the company leased the park to Hillsborough County as a recreational area in 1957, the 160-acre site slowly became a popular camping spot.

After setting up camp, hikers can explore the woodsy trails and its diverse plant communities, river cypress swamps, and hardwood hammocks. But it is the natural spring that serves as the park’s major attraction, which---courtesy of the water’s 72 degree temperature---provides an excellent swimming experience all year long. In addition to swimming, visitors can fish and play volleyball. There is also a bath house for the parents to rest and chat, while their kids can play at the park’s playground.

The park’s 44 camping sites---which is also suitable for RVs---include water/shower and electrical services. The campers also have access to picnic shelters and tables, restrooms, and barbecue grills. There are no reservations for these sites; everything is done on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Park rules to know:

-Picnic shelters are not rented for the months April - September. -All shelters, tables and grills and parking spaces are first come first serve -Due to the high demand of the swimming area and current conditions maximum capacity is -No rain checks / refunds

Lithia springs

We enjoyed a two night stay at site 28.This site is set deep from the road and an accommodate a large rig. Completely Secluded from neighbors. Very quiet at night. 24hr access. This camp does not allow reservations but had quiet a few empty lots. Ranger seemed nice and helpful.

Grocery stores within 2 miles which was great because the wife ran out of wine.

I would recommend this camp for a 3-4 day stay in the spring and summer months. The spring fed swimming area is clean and well kept. We will definitely come back.

Un tesoro escondido

Lithia Springs Park ubicado en... (3932 Lithia Springs Rd, Lithia, FL 33547)... es un tesoro escondido muy serca de la ciudad. Tiene de todo para garantizar una experiencia única. Puedes rentar una canoa $25 la hora y dar un paseo por el rio, montar bicicleta, caminar por los senderos del parque, pescar o disfrutar de las áreas de picnic. En ocasiones el área del río destinada a nadar no se encuentra disponible por tener el nivel de agua muy bajo. El parque cuenta con 44 sitios para acampar, con mesas para picnic, fire pit y RV dump station. NO ES RESERVABLE, quien llega primero.. reserva. Excelente lugar, sin dudas voy a regresar pronto.

Nasty Host / Cool Park

Always have an issue with ppl working here. Cheyenne is beyond disrespectful we've decided to leave after our week stay. We've also made the complaint to the manager.

The park is beautiful. Have to pay additional for the spring.

Wonderful quiet place

Very well kept up groundskeeper. Meeting mike at the gate to the park so so nice. Only waited for a short time to have a spot and enjoy the park. The spring area so nice the sound of the breeze through the trees, just wow!

Nice campsites, but the park can get extremely crowded

Stayed over mother's day weekend at Lithia Springs. The sites are nice and spacious, have really excellent tree coverage (this is a MUST during Florida "summers"). Although, $24 to camp seemed a bit much. I felt that the spaces in the back loop were a little more secluded and were really nice because they were closer to the water. They all have fire rings, tables and power. The best thing about the campsites was that the restrooms back here were way nicer and cleaner than the main park bathhouse which was a mess. That was probably because the park itself got incredibly busy (guess the secret of this park is out). Maybe the park itself would be better in the "off" season when it's not so packed. The trails are nice, but there's not a ton to see and they aren't super long.

Overall, I'd try going back when it wasn't so busy...

A nice little gem with everything close by

Another one of my favorite spots to camp at. Nice spring to swim in for 2.00 a person. Most campsites are very shaded. Bathhouse are clean. Has dumpstations.
