Whitehouse Campground is a Forest Service campground in the Boulder River drainage, about 20 miles north of Butte in the Butte Ranger District of the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. It has five units that can accommodate trailers up to 22 feet, and a picnic day use area with ADA accessible toilets. Water is available, and the Boulder River runs alongside the campground, offering fishing. Late spring, summer and fall are the most comfortable times to visit, with typical July highs around 81°F and lows near 46°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station in Butte. Winter brings a groomed snowmobile system that starts at the campground or at a pullout to the east, depending on snow conditions. Several trails and rides sit close by. The Cottonwood Lake Loop Snowmo hike is about 0.1 mile away, and the Thunderbolt Creek hike is about a mile off. Shamrock Road and Dry Gulch Road, both mountain biking routes, are within about 2 miles.
