9. Ludlum House
5 Reviews•22 Photos•19 SavesOverview
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.
Recreation
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.
Natural Features
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.

Easy access to the Chetco River
Stayed 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.

Cozy mountain near the coast
We 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!

Jedidiah Smith Campground — Redwood National Park
Loving Family Memories — Now I want to go again as an Oldster on my own!
This campground must be the “first camp out” for so many Northern California kids, at least of my generation. It was the first time my family drove for HOURS (“are we there yet?” And then the result was spectacular. The river vibe, the rope swing, the ancient redwoods, the dappled sunlight, the bbq. And yes, there’s a store nearby in the middle of nowhere to pick up whatever you need.
It really is family-lovely. Your kids will make friends with the others. If you can plan an extended stay, do it!
Recently, I just drove around the grounds, on my way back to SF, just for fun, and I thought, wow, I’m ready to experience this place as a childless oldster. I want to bird my ass off. I want to go offseason. All of it!

Elk Prairie Campground
The Majestic Elk. The hypnotic Lupin. The crash of the Waves.
I’m probably giving this an extra star for nostalgia. I camped here decades before, before it became a more modern campsite, and it was formative. I’d suggest LATE summer, like August, or better yet, after Labor Day. It’s the warmest, nicest time. Or when the Elk are in mating season! LOL. Or spring, when the Lupin arrives. There are also INCREDIBLE day trips into California’s interior, Indian history, little known parks and trails everywhere. Bring all the yummy foods you want… you’re not going to be near a grocery store. Feel a side of California few know about.

Ramblin' Redwoods Campground & RV Park
Camping in the Redwoods
Camping at Rambling Redwoods offers a unique experience, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in nature, surrounded by the majestic Redwoods. The campground provides a variety of amenities, including a playground and horseshoe pits, as well as a dog wash area for your furry friends. Well-maintained bathrooms and showers featuring good water pressure—a welcome comfort in the great outdoors. The availability of a laundry room adds a touch of convenience to the rustic camping experience. We were in site 31 which was a very level dirt pull-thru and parked our truck between two huge trees. My only negative thought is that the back of the site only had a couple of logs separating sites 31 and 30. I may not have felt this an issue had the people at site 30 kept their dogs on a leash which would have prevented their three dogs from coming over and trying to attack my dog. Yes, the park has a leash rule. When planning a trip to the Redwood State and National Park, mapping out your destinations is crucial, as some attractions can be quite a distance from the campground.

Elk Prairie Campground
Good but older campground
I don't have a lot to add beyond what has been said by others. This campground is about the location. It is nestled right in the state park w/old growth redwood trees and hikes accessible directly from the campground.
However, it is very tight, which is difficult for anyone with a larger trailer. The facilities are showing their ages as well. The showers were in decent shape, but the bathrooms could use some work.
It is still the best campground for exploring the park though. And the negatives should not turn you away.

Elk Prairie Campground
Beautiful campsite
We loved this campground. It's proximity to many trails with beautiful Redwoods was amazing. Some sites were in the prairie as opposed to nestled in the Sitka Spruce trees, so that's something to take into consideration. Bathrooms and showers were clean. Showers were about $1.00 and took quarters. We had site 62 and think we got the best site in the park. It was a drive through site however there are two tight trees that you would struggle to get a larger RV through on the road to get there. It had enough room for 2 large tents and two trucks. It also has a secret tent pad behind the driveway in the trees!

Loved our stay!
My husband and do not typically like to camp at RV parks, however during a busy 4th of July weekend we found openings here and ended up loving our stay! The beach and creek access was so convenient. Was not a fan of the onsite Mexican restaurant, but didn’t have very high expectations anyways. The office staff were very friendly and accommodating. Can’t wait to come back!
Make sure you visit Secret Beach during your stay, just a short drive down the road.

Elk Prairie Campground
Redwood National AND State Park
Very quiet, but tight campground in the Redwood National Forest. We enjoyed proximity to trails and other parks, along with the ranger talks each night. Sadly, the facilities aka the bathrooms are badly degraded and need to be updated. They don’t charge entrance fees for the park, rangers can explain why if you ask. I think this should be changed so they can afford to install new bathrooms. A lot of sites were supposedly reserved but no one present for days. Host are able to forfeit their reservations if they don’t show up by te second day, but it seems like they were very relaxed about this. Many sites were empty but the campground was listed as full. I suspect problem book for the weekend and just show up late, which is not fair for those who would have liked to visit.

Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park Campground
Wooded Campground with River Access
Campground is co-operated by State Park and National Park Service... therefore will receive National Park Access Pass discounts! A lovely campground nestled in the redwoods with river access. No hookups. Restrooms have flush toilets. Showers are also available. Nice walking trails originate from the campground. A small history center is onsite. The amphitheater also has frequent ranger programs. Sites also mostly level. Would stay again.

Great Customer Service in the Forest
We had a great overnight stay at this campground in the redwoods. The owners were present, approachable, and kind. We called ahead and asked how we could get to the Trees of Mystery without a car, and they said they would be more than willing to find a way. We walked the tent sites, and they truly felt like they were in the forest, whereas the RV sites were on the grass with groves surrounding them.
The outbuildings and mini-golf course could use some love, but we understand times are hard. We would absolutely come here again—just know it's not a resort. A+ for family-friendly and good conversations with neighbors.

Great stay off the 101 by the Redwoods
Great stay in quiet and secluded section of the property. Loved the fire pit, quiet, and hot shower to start the morning. Was able to park my campervan easily and they let me use a dry camping spot so I did not have to pay for hookups. Great service, beautiful property and location. Highly recommend.

Great small park on the river
Great host, they upgraded us to a river front space. Trees and shade on most spaces. Full hook ups and Wifi. Level with gravel drive and grass.

Amazing
Loved it, the kids had a blast running around the woods. Really easy pull thru site that fit our camper and both vehicles.

Really nice river spot
The park area is right on a really pretty blue river. The camp sites are all really close to the river as well so you can walk there in no time. Bathrooms were very nice. And all the staff was very friendly and helpful

Elk Prairie Campground
One of my favorites!
This was tied for my favorite redwoods campsite. We stayed for 1 night in march and it was almost entirely booked so I would reserve a spot. It was a little buggy in the woods but not too bad. The prairie itself was really beautiful especially at dusk. The surrounding woods is exactly what you look for when going to redwoods.

STUNNING PARK.
Absolutely gorgeous. Boat was kinda sassy but views were insane. Beach is beautiful. Bring your surf board for sure

Great spot!
Perfect spot right by so many incredible hikes. The campground is secluded and you aren’t on top of everyone which is nice.

Nicest owners!!!
Great spot if you want to visit the ancient Redwoods. You can not beat the hospitality of Patrick and Maya. They are new owners and already doing an incredible job. Extreme friendly and helpful. It was a great spot to see the north side and the south side of the redwoods.
Cell service was bad for ATNT AND GOOGLE FI. they had free wifi and it was hit or miss. Sometimes it worked great and sometimes not so well, but they warned us upfront that it would be the case.
They got their coffee machine up and running and have pastries shipped from LA. We were their second customers. It is also a rock and a skip away from Trees of Mystery.
Also, level spots, extremely clean and hot showers. They are cleaned daily and they also have laundry and mini golf. Highly recommend staying with them!

Quiet Riverside Park
Campground with large, grassy, shaded sites. Small children’s playground.. Some back-ins sites are shaded. Separate tent area. Small store with game room, puzzles, and books to share. Clean bathrooms with small showers, abundant heated water. If you want a quiet site far from the city and traffic noise, this is your place.

Boo
Didn’t have a great time at this rv park.
- I thought the hot tubs were for everyone, nope you must reserve and pay for a special rv space. Serious Bougie stuff.
- They were out of ice so I had to go into town.
- Lots of trash at my site
- Neighborhoods blasted music refused to turn it down, I called the office and they did “it’s not that loud…”
Seriously? Well I don’t want to pay to listen to someone playing Green Day all evening. Boo. After 2 phone calls they said I cold move to a site that looked at the dumpsters. Why would you put the dumpsters right across from sites?
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.

Close to town but out of the hustke
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.

Cool Spot
Pretty nice campground with a fire pit and picnic table. very spacious and private lots of room away from other campers. Bathrooms were good and had a shower. Camp host was nice he sold us some fire wood. Only reason i did not give it 5 stars was the surrounding area and town. Not much out there at all and run down town. I would stay here again.

Excellent Place to camp!
This was a great RV park/ tent campsite. The tent sites were close together, but it was in a great location to all of the fun things to do in the area! There was a game room, mini golf course, laundry, showers and bathrooms… and the new owners were SO wonderful. Highly recommend this site to everyone.
