Plaskett Creek Campground offers a beautiful, peaceful setting just a short walk from Sand Dollar Beach, making it a great spot for camping. Many visitors praised the friendly camp hosts and the spacious, scenic environment, ideal for families and pets. However, the campground faces criticism due to the lack of potable water and restroom facilities, with porta potties being the only option, which some found unsatisfactory.

The restrooms are no longer functional. They had very clean porta potties.
There were several downed tree limbs in the campground, but I’m sure those are just due to the recent storms we’ve had

everything was perfect except the bathrooms weren't functioning, there were portapotties that had not been emptied in over 12 days. Otherwise, it's lovely -- the camp hosts were great and it was a gorgeous location -- walkable to the remarkable sand dollar beach.
would certainly come back if the bathroom situation is improved and portapotties are maintained.

Never camped in this area before.
It’s beautiful, and given the Highway 1 closure just north of the campground, not crowded during the middle of the week in January.
I definitely would NOT recommend a trailer over 25 ft or an RV longer then 30 ft due to very narrow and curvy nature of Highway 1 in this area! My travel is 23, and with my tow vehicle, I was right at the limit of my comfort zone.
