Richardson Campground

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Three sites along a small creek make up Richardson Campground, a drive-in Forest Service site in the Lewis & Clark National Forest outside White Sulphur Springs. Turnaround space is limited: a single vehicle can manage at site three, but trailers have no room to reverse once past site two. Each site has a picnic table and metal fire ring; site one also includes a BBQ grill. The campground has a wooden outhouse, no potable water, and operates on a pack-in, pack-out basis. Anglers and hikers have reported wildlife sightings along the creek corridor. Campers looking for camping near White Sulphur Springs will find this a workable base, provided they arrive in a short vehicle and carry all their own water.

Small oh-hum campground

I was not impressed with Richardson Campground. This campground has three sites. Be sure to pay attend to the sign at the beginning of the campground "NO TURN AROUND" this sign is correct. Once you get past the second campsite their will not be room to turn around if you have a trailer. A signal vehicle can turn around a tree at the third campsite, but if someone is camped in the third site you may not be able to even do that. The three campsites sit along a small creek. The first site has a picnic table, metal fire ring and a BBQ grill. Sites 2 and 3 both have a picnic table and metal fire ring. The campground has a single Outhouse, not a vault toilet, this is a small wooden outhouse. At the entrance to the campground is a trailhead and a horse corral, an added bonus if you bring horses. Horses are not allowed in the campground. This campground is a "Pack-in, Pack-out" campground with no water.
