About
Ludlum Campground occupies a scenic spot at the confluence of Wheeler Creek and the Winchuck River in the southwestern corner of Oregon's Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. The small campground features 7 sites nestled within a mixed-conifer forest setting, each equipped with accessible picnic tables and fire pits. The campground serves as an excellent base for anglers targeting the Winchuck River's steelhead, Chinook salmon, Coho salmon, and cutthroat trout. The river above the Wheeler Creek confluence is closed to fishing to protect wild fish, but the waters downstream offer productive steelhead fishing using drift fishing, floating jigs, or swinging flies. The Chimney Camp Trail #1279 provides a pleasant hike along Wheeler Creek, while the Oregon Redwoods Trail offers accessible hiking through old-growth redwoods at the northern limit of their range. The campground's location provides convenient access to both ocean beaches just minutes away and the redwood forests of northern California within 30 minutes. The Ludlum House recreation rental sits adjacent to the campground for those seeking a more developed lodging option. The site is reached via Forest Road 1108, approximately 12 miles from US Highway 101 near Brookings.
Directions
