Sonoma Coast State Park Camping

Sonoma Coast State Park features two main campgrounds - Bodega Dunes and Wright's Beach. The park also has 11 environmental campsites off Willow Road, south of the Russian River, and 20 sites along the river.

Bodega Dunes Campground

Bodega Dunes Campground is located on the north side of the Bodega Harbor and about a 15-20-minute walk from South Salmon Creek Beach. The town of Bodega Bay is within easy walking distance to the east. Porto Bodega, an RV park and marina, is right across the road from the campground.

Campsites are equipped with picnic tables and fire pits, but there are no hook-ups for RVs. Hot showers are located in the restrooms and a dump station is available.

Wright's Beach Campground

Located right on the fringe of Wright's Beach, the campground is a popular destination. The sound of the surf lulls campers to sleep. Early morning walks on the beach are only steps away.

The premium sites are closest to the ocean and cost $10 more per night than the standard sites. There are no showers at Wright's Beach Campground, but campers are permitted to drive down to Bodega Dunes Campground and use the showers there. The campground has no hook-ups for RVs. A dump station is located at Bodega Dunes Campground. During times when the campgrounds are crowded an overflow area is available for self-contained RVs.

Previous campers have remarked about clean restrooms and friendly rangers.

Ocean Safety

California State Parks and Recreation cautions that "large surf, cold water temperatures, backwash, sudden drop-offs, pounding shorebreak, and dangerous rip currents can turn what seem like safe activities such as playing near the surf line, wading, or climbing on rock outcroppings, deadly."
