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 Bodega Dunes to shower and, in all fairness, that place was nice, too, but it felt like a big campus compared to our nice secluded spot.

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 there is a big warning sign as a reminder, in case you forget.

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 near lots of other calm beaches, hikes, wineries.

My question is: who decided to put a campground on the most dangerous beach on the Sonoma Coast?
