“Ideal small camp, short walk to ocean”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 September 2011

My girlfriend and I stayed here for one night (we planned on two but the rain drove us out) second weekend of September 2011. The camping area is well wooded and seems well taken care of. There were clean bathrooms and shower rooms to my surprise. Also a laundry room and sink to do dishes. For 28 bucks a night it wasn't too bad. It satisfied my need to sleep in a tent and cook breakfast over a fire. I would stay here again...

“Used to be paradise...”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 August 2011
4
people found this review helpful

We had the very same experience as "Not a paradise". We had stayed at Wrights several times and loved it - what could be better than a beautiful wooded campground so close to town and ocean? Well, one night a large drunken crowd moved into one of the sites and talked and shouted noisily all night - and the manager refused to do anything, saying, "Oh they come here every year for an event". What kind of reasoning is that? What a shame that such a great place has such a deal-breaker. Don't stay here unless you check first that noise limits will be enforced - maybe they'll eventually get the message.

“Awesome location, nice sites”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 September 2010

people found this review helpful

We stayed at Wright's for Camping in August for 3 nights with friends. We had campspot #18 which I highly recommend. Ours was the last site in a long row, so quite private compared to the rest. When we got to the site, we did notice that the ground had nicely been raked in anticipation of our arrival, which was very pleasant and appreciated.

The staff were friendly to us, even though they tried to double-charge our friends for their stay once they arrived (we had pre-paid for all of us, yet the young staffer insisted that we had not). The bathrooms were amazing, clean, and had wonderful hot-water showers. The laundry room with a nice soak sink for dishes and laundry facilities were handy too. Wood for fires was $5/bundle and often a tad damp...so bring your own wood if you'd like to have a successful fire - or some gas.

Otherwise, the campsite is about a 2 minute drive from downtown Cannon Beach and/or a 5 min walk. The town is wonderful and very fun to explore - don't miss the candy shoppe and wine shack!

All in all, a great place to stay - would recommend it!

“A blue-ribbon campground ....”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 August 2009

person found this review helpful

We spent ten wonderful days camping at Wright's this summer. This family-run campground is celebrating their 50th year, and it's easy to see why they continue to be a favorite among generations of campers. The beautiful wooded setting; the walking-distance proximity to the awesome beach; the friendly, helpful family/staff; and the exceptionally clean and well-maintained bathhouse make this a blue-ribbon campground. We already have reservations for next summer!

“Perfect place to camp @ Cannon Beach”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 August 2009
1
person found this review helpful

We just came back from a 3-night stay at Wright's for Camping and our entire group loved it!

Site: Our site was in a really good location (one site on one side and a ditch separating us on the other side). There are a couple of font sites that are in not-good positions so thankfully we didn't get them (Avoid camp #4 if possible). When we arrived, the ground was raked. It was big enough to fit two cars and two tents. Firewood was only $5 per box but it was damp from the previous nights. The washrooms were CLEAN with FREE showers. There's a coin laundry available with a sink in there to wash dishes. It's an obvious family-friendly, family-operated site with it's basic "office" but otherwise friendly staff.

Location: Withing walking distance of Cannon Beach though we drove with all the chairs and other stuff we brought. Basically drove into Seaside as needed for groceries at Safeway or grab a Starbucks coffee.

Will definitely go again!
