GuideLithia Springs is a great campground with a wonderful marina located on beautiful Lake Shelbyville! We stayed at Site #12 overlooking the lake. The site was large and level although it can be tricky to back into. Also, the site is adjacent to a water observation/access area which invites a lot of foot traffic. This can be frustrating especially if you have pets.
LegendThis campground has a dog park and beautiful views, but the sites are very crowded. There are full hook up sites and electric only. If you like the party atmosphere, this place is for you. If you like a more spread out and quiet park, look at Lithia Springs or Opossum. Your park pass from any COE campground will get you in.
Photos view from dog park.
GuideThe bathrooms here were heated and sparkling clean. Our Starlink had zero obstructions worked lightening fast. We LOVED having a dog park to exercise our dogs daily!
Great location, close to all the Springfield attractions and Slauterhaus Brewing in Auburn, IL (this is the best brewery nearby, better than Buzz Bomb or Obed & Issacs in town!).
TravelerNice big spacious sites! Reserve early to get full hookup! Right on lake Shelbyville.

TravelerGeat place to camp on Lake Shelbyville with full hook up sites. Only down fall is some of the full hook up sites are directly in the sun.
RangerThis campground is located behind the Spillway Motel across the highway from the Lake Shelbyville Dam. There are a few cabins and trailers that are full time residents, a boat ramp, rental canoe's and tubes, a bait shop, 16 full hookup and about 20 overnight primitive campsites at $10 a night. The campground is the only one with full access to the river after it leaves Lake Shelbyville. The fishing here and at the Spillway across the road are very good. I camped here in October and it was pretty empty, so even though you are close to town it is peaceful. This is not a well known place to go but you can have fun here with the canoe's and river fishing.
