About
Ludlum Campground occupies a scenic setting at the base of a mixed-conifer forest where Wheeler Creek meets the Winchuck River. The 7 primitive campsites each include a fire pit and barrier-free picnic table, with vault toilets and garbage disposal on site. Campers must bring their own drinking water as none is available. The Winchuck River offers excellent fishing for Coho salmon, Chinook salmon, cutthroat trout, and steelhead trout below the Wheeler Creek confluence. The Chimney Camp Trail #1279 follows Wheeler Creek for a pleasant streamside hike. The Oregon Redwoods Trail provides accessible hiking through a rare grove of old-growth coastal redwoods representing the northernmost extent of the species' range. The campground is adjacent to the Ludlum House Recreation Rental, a historic two-story house rebuilt as a replica of the original 1939 structure. Ocean beaches near Brookings are a short drive away, and Redwood National Park in northern California is approximately 90 minutes south.
