The Ludlum House is situated at the base of a mixed-conifer forest at the confluence of Wheeler Creek and the Winchuck River in southwestern Oregon, offering guests a unique setting for recreation and relaxation. The house was rebuilt in 1999 as a near-replica of the original two-story Ludlum family vacation house. Mr. Ludlum, an oil-company executive, constructed the house in 1939, then sold the property to the Forest Service following World War II. The accessible home offers some of the amenities needed for a comfortable lodging experience, although guests will need to bring several of their own supplies to ensure a safe and enjoyable stay.
Hiking, wildlife viewing and fishing top the list of recreational opportunities in the area surrounding the Ludlum House. Just steps away from the banks of the Winchuck River, the cabin provides fantastic fishing opportunities for Coho salmon, Chinook salmon, cutthroat trout and steelhead trout. The river is closed to fishing above the Wheeler Creek confluence to provide a refuge for wild fish, but anglers will some excellent steelhead waters below this point, including several miles on the Rogue River-Siskiyou National Forest. Standard winter steelhead tactics such as drift fishing, floating jigs, or swinging flies work well on this gravel and cobble-bottomed river. Flies such as spruce flies or bucktail streamers work well for sea-run cutthroat. The Oregon Redwoods Trail provides a unique accessible hiking opportunity through a grove of majestic old-growth redwood trees. Guests will have the opportunity to learn about old-growth tree ecology, fire history, wildlife, and botany in the area along Peavine Ridge in the Winchuck River drainage. Redwood trees in this area represent the only coastal redwoods found in the Pacific Northwest Region, located at the limit of their northern range. The trail is an out/back design with a short loop at the far end, where a picnic stop is provided. A short wooden deck provides access to the inside of a hollowed redwood tree.
The Ludlum House is somewhat secluded and surrounded by a towering old-growth forest, with an expanse of lawn stretching out before it. Within an 1.5 hour drive from the house, guests have access to the rugged southern Oregon and northern California coasts and further south, the Redwood National Park. The nearby Winchuck River flows into the Pacific Ocean about 0.5 miles north of the Oregon and California border and approximately 5 miles south of Brookings, Oregon. Five major tributaries, Wheeler Creek, East Fork, Fourth of July Creek, Bear Creek and South Fork, make up the Winchuck River system. Mt. Emily, at 2,926 feet, is the highest point in the basin. Diverse landscapes provide habitat for a wide-range of wildlife, including black-tailed deer and an occasional black bear, to squirrels and salmon. Sensitive wildlife species such as Spotted Owl and Marbled Murrelet are present in the watershed as well. These species, along with many others, depend on the surrounding undeveloped wilderness, undisturbed wetlands, clean streams, and diverse forests to live.

Have stayed at Loeb many times over the past 37 years -- tent camping, cabin camping, and now tent-trailering -- and it has been fun every time.
The showers are great. Short walk to the super-clean Chetco River for swimming and salamander-camping. Twenty minute drive to the ocean beaches. Good hosts. Fun watching kids ride their bikes around and around. Grassy park-lawn section for croquet or bocce ball.

Every year my family gets together for a family campout. We have stayed at Turtle Rock RV several times. Just past the entrance to the park is a little tavern that has a lot of seating and some really good food. Next to the office where you check into the park is a Mexican restaurant to which we will probably never return to. Inside the park is lots of open space and they provide camping for large pool through vehicles, cabins with hot tubs, and tents. While the tent spots we have not used, we have used the cabins and the RV spots. I think most of the cabins have hot tubs, and some of the RV spots also have them. There is a path to the beach which goes under Hwy 101 and it a fairly short walk, BUT it is not path for folks in wheelchairs of any kind and those who are not stable on their feet. My Dad who is 82 years old does walk there though. The cabins are fully equipped with most cooking utensils that you will need. They are clean and fairly roomy. It is a short distance to the town of Gold Beach where there is just about anything you would need. We always look forward to camping there and try to camp there at least once a year.

Originally planned to stay for 4 days but ended up extending the trip a few extra days. Management was extremely helpful, polite, and accommodating. We were lucky to have a beautiful and secluded site. The campground is half a mile away from Jedediah State Park and the Smith River. 15 minutes from Crescent City and a short drive to Brookings. The spots can be a little tricky to get into and those with larger rigs should contact the management office to ensure they can fit and maneuver properly but we saw plenty of huge Class As and triple axle 5th wheels. Cell phone coverage is spotty but they offer wifi and it allowed us a good chance to disconnect. The campground is far enough inland way from the coast that the marine layer burned off much quicker so we had beautiful sunny days with a nice cool breeze.
GuideThis was the first time I'd been to Oregon in several decades, and first trip with our new trailer outside of our home state, and it did not disappoint. Turtle Rock is a great little RV park tucked right in this little cove off the ocean, it's not massive so you don't feel like you're gonna get lost, but you're not packed in right on top of your neighbor, either. There are plenty of amenities, including a delicious Mexican restaurant, horseshoes, volleyball, a nice bath house with laundry. They even have these cute tiny-house cabins that you can rent, some with patios and hot tubs!! The staff were all SUPER friendly, and helpful, and just genuinely pleasant to be around, and even though we visited in the middle of the pandammit, everyone was in good spirits. We will DEFINITELY be back!
TravelerOcean is beautiful, short walk through campground to get there. The Rogue River enters the Pacific here, so there are Cormorants, Great Blue Heron, and many gulls and ducks. Unfortunately the campground Is run down, showers have holes in them, fans don’t work and are dirty. Campsites are very close together, and those using hot tubs have little privacy.

This is mostly an RV Park and cabin rentals but there are 4 tent spots right on the beach that are phenomenal. You feel like you have your own place on the beach. You do have to walk your stuff there but it’s totally worth it. The first night was great but the second night was a torrential downpour that woke us up. Definitely hit or miss with rain but absolutely a great find. They have large family yurts and cabins to get away from the rain but these tent sites are my favorite!
GuideThis is a fantastic campground on Hunter Creek just south of Gold Beach. It’s is right up against the 101 and that’s the only reason it’s not 5 stars in my view. The traffic noise isn’t that bothersome especially overnight, but it does detract. Beach access is right out of the back of the park. Hunter Creek looks like a great sheltered place to kayak. The sites have full hookups including sewer and there is also a dump station. Cable TV hookups were a nice plus. Some sites even have their own hot tub.
Minor downsides were low water pressure at times and the WiFi signal not making it all the way to the west end of the park. That all said we will definitely stay here again.
GuideDidn’t have a great time at this rv park.
Also realize the closer you are to the beach, the closer you are to the highway 101. Beach access was very nice, but overall I didn’t enjoy my stay and left as soon as I could.
Guide
Beautiful campground. Pretty quiet except for some road noise if you get a sight back up to the river. Cabin bathrooms could be cleaned more. Large bathroom in office building is immaculate. Water pressure super low at campsite so we used the showers, 25 cents for 8 minutes. Pricey for no cable service, like most campgrounds Wi-Fi not great. We used our AT&T mobile device and service spotty depending on the time of the day. Like being located out of town a mile and a half.
TravelerThis RV Resort has tent sites, RV sites, Yurt, 2 Cabin appartments to rent for vacations. The park has basketball court, recreational room with pool table, TV with cable, books and board games, laundry room $1.25 to wash & $.25 to dry, rest rooms and showers $0.50 a token for 6 minutes of hot water. Come see for yourself, enjoy the Redwoods and about 15 to 25 minutes to town of Crescent City and ocean. Smith River is close by as well.
Guide
Very convenient location for Redwoods near Crescent City. Good hookups. Descent phone reception. Single restroom with old facilities. This is a rainy, misty area. California obscene gas prices
Guide
Campsites are very private and give a great feeling of being located right in the heart of the Redwoods. Crescent city is a short drive as is many other tourist attractions.
TravelerWe picked here while sight seeing today in crescent city and we are so glad we picked this spot! A little tucked away from the actual coat but it makes it not so windy as the places in the harbor. We have three kids, 10, 4 and 2 so we appreciate the space, the pavement for bikes, the greenery and the hosts were AMAZING :) thanks so much!!! Wish we could stay longer!!
LegendCamping by redwoods is probably my favorite EVER. Even during the summer, you're able to stay cool under the canopies of the trees. I love that every corner is so picturesque! Mossy covered paradise! The scenery itself exceeds 5 stars.
The sites are relatively private and spacious. There are trees and brush that separate you from your neighbors. You'll want to pick a site that is close to the river, and far from the highway as possible because of the highway noise (although not terrible) isn't ideal when you're trying to enjoy nature. Any sites 40-60 were pretty good. #58 is the way to go! Riverfront real estate. The restrooms are a little sparse, so be prepared to wait a bit. I wish there was more available, but it looks as though there were only 4 for every 40 campsites? if you have to shower definitely use the facilities that are across from the Visitor Center, they are big and luxurious! Cost is 25 cents/minute.
It's also so convenient to Crescent City if you need to restock on supplies or beer. You can pick up coins and firewood by the entrance which is very convenient.
LegendThe campground is beautifully situated among the majestic redwoods, and the flora and fauna that so brilliantly thrive under their canopy. The growth of all things green offer a decent amount of privacy in what might otherwise be a crowded campground. The campsites are not very large, but we found it easy to set up our 10 X 14 tent, and I believe most sites would accommodate at least that much. Most sites also seem to be conveniently located near water and drain, as well as trash, bathrooms and showers. There is a visitor center onsite, and many favorite Jedidiah Smith trails begin from the park. The Smith river is tame and enjoyable for tubing or kayaking, and swimming. It’s surprisingly not very cold for early July.
It is recommended to reserve a site at lest 6 months in advance. And since campground maps are not topographical, note that only the one loop of sites near the boat launch are actually “on” the river. Note: I am not guaranteeIng proximity of the lower sites (some were fairly close), just that they are the right elevation. The other sites are raised above the river barring direct access, however it is only a short walk down to the beach. I tried to mark these on our camp map. I also uploaded a video of site 18 as an example of the upper sites.
It’s a 10 minute drive to Crescent City where campers can find any services they may need.
As of early July 2018, camper registration occurred at the entry kiosk rather than the other building designated for such events. There is no other way into the park, so campers coming and going would be advised that returning to their site may involve waiting in a line of people registering—a little annoying...but hey, enjoy the redwoods while you are in line!
GuideGood spot has almost everything. From cabins, yurts, teepees and camps spots. Only slight problem is no pets allowed in cabins, yurts, or teepees
RangerStayed in a cabin and it was beautiful. The front porch provided a fabulous view to the Chetco River.
If you fish and don't have a trailer or camper these cabins are perfect. Fire ring and table are provided as well.
Well worth the price.
GuideI have stayed at Jedediah Redwoods 3 times, and each time I find something new to appreciate. The campground itself is one of the most well kept I have been to. I have stayed in both the campsites tent camping and in one of the cabins. The campground is located right next to the river, great for taking a stroll down after dinner or early in the morning. Not the most private campsite but the stunning river, great trails, and amazing location far outweigh that.
I recommend taking the waterfall trail, some of the largest redwoods I have ever seen were on that trail and it was incredibly peaceful. You must spend some time sitting next to the Smith river, it is bright blue and there is a trail that hugs it with many access points.
The cabins were extremely nice. They have a little electric fire place heater that heats up the cabin nicely, and this cabin easily fits 6. Quite spacious, as well as convenient counter space. I would highly recommend!

Jake from the Dyrt here! The Sustainable EcoVillage has several unique cabins available on the Dyrt within their sustainable living project! Check them out and share your pictures on the Dyrt!
RangerGreat cabins overlooking the river! This site is close enough to make day trips to the beach and Brookings for any forgotten supplies or for dinner if you do not feel like cooking. We will be returning!
Traveler
We were at agate beach campgrounds for a week & never saw sun. It was still stunning. So many options for activities. The local town (15 minutes away) way super cute too. Cabins extremely well maintained and heated. Glorious spot on earth
TravelerGorgeous state park& campground in the land of the redwoods. Spacious campsites, a few cabins, clean restrooms, and access to trails in the state park. Highly recommend camping here! You can walk to the Stout Memorial Grove directly from camp via the summer footbridge. For a longer hike I recommend hiking to the Grove of Titans via the Mill Creek trail.
GuideThis is a gorgeous campground in a state park with something for everyone’s level. I stayed in cabins near agate beach, and also a campsite with tent earlier in campground near entrance. Reservations recommended. Hikes along the coast, more difficult ones up and down to beaches and coastline, paved paths for walks, proper bathrooms, showers, water. Near town of Trinidad for pizza always a plus
Traveler
This is a nice find, it’s right off the highway so there’s some noise, but it’s densely forested with redwoods and shrubs. It’s been raining here so it’s more damp than usual, but to be expected in the redwoods. There’s many trails around, easily accessible and mostly moderate to easy. I stayed in a cabin studio for $89 plus fees a night, it’s nice guys, I wish I’d known of this place sooner.
GuideWe stayed one night here during a trip down the Oregon coast. We have a 37' TT, it was a little tight trying to back in, our neighbor across from us was gracious enough to move his truck. The sites themselves are very spacious, with a picnic table and fire pit. The sites were surrounded by blackberry bushes which was cool.
We did not use the bathrooms, but the park and the outside of the facilities all looked clean, and they also had cabins available near the river, which was so peaceful!
LegendThis is a great spot for larger families. We stayed in the group site as well as an individual site (different time).
The group site was great! We were far enough away from other campers that our large family did not disturb, but still close enough to the front station for any help needed from rangers.
There are tons of acitivites in the campground; trails, floating down the river, night time story hour and bon fire, as well as outside of the campground: Redwood Edventures for kids, Trees of Mystery, or a short drive out to the coast.
There are plenty of restrooms and showers. Firewood is available to purchase. There are animal proof trash cans and food storage container.
Great for tent campers, RV/ trailers and cabins are available for rent.
RangerNorth side of Chetco River. 8 miles east of Brookings. First come First Serve. BE there early, people try to save spots for friends but you better be paying for the spot. We stayed for one night, by the next morning as we were loading up, kids were riding their bikes saw we were going to leave and one stayed by while the other went to get parents, who checked with us and went to pay for the spot we were vacating. $24 a night with water and elec. $7 for extra vehicles. Do have three cabins that are reservable through ReserveAmerica. You are close to a Redwood Natural Trailhead loop. From campground to trailhead is .8 miles, then a 1.2 mile loop. Round trip 4miles, can drive up to park at trailhead. This was the only Oregon State Park that would not allow fires at the time we visited.
Crescent City, California, offers a fantastic selection of cabin camping options nestled among stunning redwoods and scenic landscapes, perfect for a memorable outdoor getaway.
