“Great beach camping ”

Stayed one night in one of the beach front sites that are 10 dollars more a night than the other spots. It’s a great beach to walk the dogs on but plenty of signs say it’s to dangerous to swim. There was water faucets but no dump station.

We live close to that stretch of coast and have been to this campground a couple of times. Read the other reviews first, I write this mostly to make visitors aware that this is a rather cold part of the California coast, particularly in summer. Yes, this place is right on the beach and has a winding fairly steep access road. It's a ... more

Right on the beach with incredible views and the constant sound of crashing waves. No hookups but the location makes up for it. Beautiful hiking/biking trails along the coastal cliffs.

The location of this campground is beautiful. It is on Wright’s beach with amazing unobstructed views of the ocean and just a few minutes of walking distance to the sand. The beach and campground are both dog friendly which is a big plus. There is security that regularly drives by the campground which was nice. The campground is quite ... more

“Beach camping... literally”

Nightly rate:	$50
Days stayed:	7
Site Number:	6

Overall Rating

Likely our favorite beach camping spot so far along the coast, as you are literally backed into the beach (and not parked parallel to the beach, tail-to-tail like many other campgrounds). Sites are inconsistently sized, but all are tight in one or multiple dimensions, and there's thick brushes that divide the beachfront sites. You'll want to aim for the beachfront sites that are open to the beach, as many of the other sites are dark and tight, so plan to book early! There are a couple of beachfront sites which have brush blocking the views, so plan via. Google Earth to help make your selections. No dump station on-site, but you can use the dump station at Bodega Dunes Campground which is just a few miles south on HW1. The coast is simply gorgeous along this stretch, and there's endless photo opportunities. Be careful walking along the beaches as the surf tends to be unpredictably high here. On signal, there's no signal within the campground itself due to the hill that backs the campground. With our SureCall booster we manage 1-2 bars of LTE periodically, though it drops in-and-out. With our Panorama antenna we manage -93 dBm of LTE which was just barely usable for conferencing, however it was unreliable so I ended up parking my vehicle at the top of the hill overlooking the campground and bridging the two Cradlepoint LTE routers together. There's plenty of Verizon signal along most of HW1 on the coast. The road getting here from Bodega Bay is a bit twisty. Some advice: If coming from the South, detour as much of HW1 as you can after the golden gate bridge by taking 101N to Petaluma and then meeting up with HW1 again. Once you hit Bodega Bay it really gets twisty and tight, so take it slow, and use the pullouts where possible. Turning left into the campground is a bit of a gamble as it's a completely blind turn and oncoming traffic would NOT be able to stop in time if going 45mph, so if possible attempt to find a turnaround further north on HW1 and head back south to make a much safer right turn. I also ran into a couple who were towing a smaller Airstream with a Tesla Model X, which was extremely cool (and committed!)

We camped at Wright's Beach over the New Year's weekend in site #7.

We stayed here over spring break and had a variety of weather. The campground is very clean and picturesque; especially sites 1-18 as they overlook the ocean. On the warmer day we sat on the virtually empty beach and even spotted a whale! There is no internet access so you'll need to drive in to town if you need connectivity. You have ... more

A local's view: this is an amazing place to camp, a rare spot right on the beach. But beware, this is a very dangerous surf area and people die in it all the time. It is a place you need to be hyper aware of the surf, even if you feel like you are walking/sitting plenty far from the water. Be safe and enjoy this great stretch of coastl... more
