Reduced to disperse camping

Ladysmith Campground is no longer a campground.  After years of little use and then the pine beetle attack on the trees, the forest service cleared out the dead trees and everything else in the campground. Ladysmith is still open for camping, but it will be disperse camping as everything has been removed.  No picnic tables, No outhouse, No water, almost no fire rings.  A couple fire pits remain, one is mostly concrete and starting to break apart, another metal ring is in an area you can't park due to a pile of rock.  The good thing about this site for a dispersed camping area is that the pavement for the campgrounds loop road is still in place.  Four pull outs are available.  Finding tent space may be tricky has the forest is reclaiming the area.
