Wright's Beach is dog friendly, clean and easy to park. However, do not go swimming or put your feet in the water. The waves are too strong at this location. If you want to go in the water with your dog, go South of Bodega Bay.

This camp ground called Wrights Beach is almost a secret. Unless someone tells you about it or you stumble on it, you may not ever experience the true experience of camping on the ocean. Any of the ocean side spots are great. There are no hook ups but you can get water. Bring a long hose depending on where you... More

Ive camped up and down the California Coast, there arent too many places that allow you to camp right on the beach, Wright Beach does. Book your sites early and get one right on the beach and you wont be disapointed. Overall the campground is clean and bathrooms are clean. There are some decent hiking trails up the coast line...

My son and I finally snagged a camping spot here. We've had day-trips for rock-collecting here, but were never able to get a camping space before. It is a small campground with a seemingly loyal following. The beach contains a great selection of jasper, chert and agate pebbles -- great for rock-hounds and psammophiles. It is also a dog-friendly beach.... More

We camped this weekend at Wright's Beach and were not disappointed. Great, small campground right on the beach. Sites # 1 - 10 are all on the beach, but 11-18 are also very close. There are some reviews about the danger of swimming on the beach, which are true. That said, Northern California water is not really for swimming (too... More

We have never camped "on the beach" b/4. This trip was amazing. Restrooms are very clean however, as one other reviewer commented, cannot understand the smoking in the restrooms...oh well. Other than the drunk guy who stationed himself outside the restrooms it was just fine. The camp hosts are not too friendly but are eager to sell you firewood...they don't... More

My nephew's wedding was creatively done on a nearby bluff overlooking the ocean, and the wedding party ate cake and stayed overnight at Wright's Beach. Online rates are $35-45 per night. The very clean bathroom facilities include flush toilets and sinks with hot and cold water, but there are no showers. A spigot provides water for drinking and cooking. Campsites... More

This campground was super - the location is amazing... The beach is very wide in this spot. And it is much less traveled than the big sister campground Bodega Dunes. Because it doesn't have showers on site. The upside of being less crowded is that the bathrooms are cleaner and the trash bins are not overflowing. We did go to... More

I thought Wrights beach was a wonderful surprise! I just ran across it on my travels down highway one. The sand was a beautiful black, and best of all, it you are at all fond of rocks, the pebbles on this beach can't be beat...forget Pebble beach, this is the beach for any rock hound! Careful of the surf, but... More

The location is great - right on the beach, up against the cliffs, sheltered by a grove of trees - but the surf was unbelievably rough. Our 7 yer old son almost got swept out, and it turns out theat 126 people have drowned here. If you forget about trying to hang out on this beach, it's a great location... More
