What Guests Are Saying
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 campground is great! Well kept. The sinks weren't working, so that was a bummer. The major downside was the camp host at the time, Dara(sp?). We were trying to get more campsites and she didn't understand, even though we paid her, she wouldn't give us the car tags that she said we needed to be there. Our other friends also had a similar situation in which they bought a site and she gave them a site that was already taken and wouldn't give them another site. She also charged every car that came through for our campsites even though we had already paid for them.

This is one of the more beautiful coastal areas in the USA where i have been camping, hiking & relaxing for over 40 years. I thoroughly enjoy every visit regardless of the season & weather. Campsite is very well appointed & just across the road from the stunning coast & ocean.

The camp hosts were so amazing and accommodating of our needs. They were so responsive and went above and beyond to make sure we had a great stay including awesome references to nearby hikes and drives! 10/10 experience because of them and how clean the campsite was

It’s a beautiful location with friendly staff. My only complaint is the lack of water in the restroom sinks.

The campground host was so helpful, accommodating and present. The grounds & facilities were clean, spacious and so dark and quiet at night that it was one of our best star viewing stays. A short walk on paths to the ocean cliffs across the road allowed for viewing of sea otters at Jade Cove, Pelicans from Mill Creek to Sand Dollar Beach and whale watching everywhere. A short walk and path with stairs down to Sand Dollar Beach gives you a beautiful stretch of beach and waves crashing against rocks & churning blue around them. Sunset views are good from anywhere with an incredible view from the Forest Service Road just above the campground. I stayed late in February.
