Drive-in access via a paved loop brings campers to Ladysmith Campground in Deerlodge National Forest, though recent changes have significantly altered the camping experience. The Forest Service has removed most amenities including picnic tables, fire rings, and the water pump, leaving overgrown campsites with few functional facilities. Pine beetle damage led to extensive tree removal, creating an open landscape now being reclaimed by aspen growth. One concrete fire pit remains usable, and previous visitors have improvised seating from salvaged timber. Campers seeking full amenities should consider Whitehouse, which maintains water, restrooms, and standard camping infrastructure.
