Ladysmith

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

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.

Campground is gone, now only a primitive camping area with a paved loop

Lady Smith Campground has meet the same fate as Mormon Gulch Campground. This was a nice campground 10-15 years ago, but today it's just a paved loop with overgrown parking pads and one“Pack out your litter” sign. All the campsites are becoming overgrown, the picnic tables have been removed as well as most of the metal fire rings. The outhouse have been removed as has the pump that use to provide water. The campground area is devoid of pine trees, the area is littered with stumps. The tree were removed due to the massive pine beetle kill off, however Aspen Trees are starting to reclaim the area. Their is one site that still has a usable concrete fire pit and previous campers has set timbers from an old table across some stumps to provide a place to sit. You will have to travel to White house campground if you want a functional campground with water, fault toilets and picnic tables with fire rings.
