About
Ladybug Campground is a small, primitive campground situated in the Umatilla National Forest's Pomeroy Ranger District, perched near the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness boundary. Named for the bright ladybugs of the Coccunellidae family that inhabit the area, this 7-site campground offers a quiet retreat for campers seeking solitude and access to wilderness recreation. The campground serves as an excellent base camp for hikers, hunters, and mountain bikers exploring the surrounding national forest. Trails in the nearby Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness are closed to all motorized and mechanized equipment, preserving the area's primitive character. The remote location on Forest Service Road 4712 means light usage even during peak season, making it easy to find a site on a first-come, first-served basis. Facilities are basic but adequate, with vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings at each site. Campers must bring their own water, as none is available on-site. The campground is accessible via gravel forest roads from either Pomeroy or Dayton, with the final approach requiring navigation of unmaintained forest roads suitable for most vehicles. Weed-free feed is required for stock animals.
