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.

Love this campground! Second time coming and even though it’s 100% full it never feels like it. Campsite 6 is great for ease of access but it’s adjacent to the school right behind it and their generator was running non stop which wasn’t ideal for sleeping. Other than that, will definitely be coming back again!

The campground is in a beautiful area. My concerns were that my campsite #37 did not look like it had been cleaned before I checked in since there was used toilet paper at the back of the campsite. Also, the campground was full, it did not seem to have enough porta-potties, they filled with waste within 1 day and were not emptied. Totally gross. Also the public was using the "bushes" as a latrine. Overall please provide more maintenance for this campground.

Beautiful area, with a gorgeous ocean nearby. Though we live nearby, this special spot is never taken for granted. I like the low-key management style there; minimal check-in, no incessant golf cart patrols, and a happy vibe in the air. If I have one complaint, it's about all those bobbing bright headlamps everyone seems to wear as they go about their nightly fun on a moonlit night. Take a chance, campers, and turn off your spot beams. Give the moon and stars a chance to work their wonder.

Without a doubt one of the best camping trips I’ve taken in a very long time. Camp host was above and beyond other hosts. Created many memorable moments at Plaskett….thank you.

The bathrooms were not functioning during our stay but the portable toilets were clean and well stocked- now that I’ve said that onto the main review: this campground is beautiful. We had an ocean view from our tent, all sites have ample space, and layout of the grounds is slightly tiered to give each site more privacy. The site host was friendly and informative. We enjoyed tide pooling and the kids rode bikes. We will be back. This is one of our new favorite spots!
