Neil, A W Way campground is a nice county campground right on the Mattole river. It's about 5-7 miles south of Petrolia. I wouldn't recommend staying at the BLM site near Honeydew. There is also beach camping at the mouth of the Mattole river southwest of Petrolia.
Depending on which direction you go out of Ferndale, you could ride up Wildcat/Mattole rd. to A W Way, then over Panther Gap to Albee Creek on Day 2, and then north on AOTG/101 to Rio Dell and Ferndale on Blue Slide rd. Winds are predominately out of the NW, so either way is going to have headwinds, but having the wind at your back while descending "the wall" and along the coastal terrace would be best in my experience.
