Free to use and drive-in accessible, Whitehouse sits along the upper Boulder River in Deerlodge National Forest, open from mid-May through December 1. The campground lists five sites officially, but a single reviewer counted 12 sites with tables and fire rings on the ground. One vault toilet and a hand pump near the entrance handle basic needs. No trash service runs here, so campers haul waste out. Sites nearest the entrance sit in tree cover; the remaining sites occupy a more open area with sightlines to neighboring campsites. Fall hunting season draws heavy use. Ladysmith sits roughly 3.6 miles east for campers wanting a different setup, and those planning a broader trip can browse campgrounds near Deer Lodge for additional staging options.
