Plaskett Creek Campground

We stayed for one night and could hear the ocean during the night. The beach is a 5 minute walk from the campsite.

It was very cold and shady at Plaskett camp ground, No Fires at all no cooking on BBQ. Because of these reasons we moved to LimeKilm Camp ground were we could use fire to cook and heat our group. No hot water, no BBQ's no Fire or heat not fun.

First my thanks to the Camp Host...I believe her name is Adria? She was as nice as a person could be and was very apologetic. She also was very kind to direct our other friends to Limkiln State Park after we left where we found suitable campsites.

But as for campsite 38, it was very unlevel except for the paved parking spot so we could not put up a tent :( then all the water was contaminated and there were no fires allowed in the firepit. The Camphost gave us a list of alternate sites but they too were not very level for tents and alas with the water contaminated and no fires in the firepit allowed it proved to be a unusable campground for camping.

We were very disappointed with this campground but very pleased with the camp host staff!

I will be requesting a refund for our 3 nights.

Great location with spacious sites, you can see the ocean through the trees! Very easy to access Sand Dollar Beach as well. However, for $35 per night (plus an $8 reservation fee), I feel I paid a lot for little in return. For comparison: The next night I stayed in a no-frills motel in Monterey for $55 after taxes. Yes there are flush toilets, but there's some issue with the water so the sinks are out of order (bring hand sanitizer), and you have to bring your own potable water. My site #15 was on a slope, so I didn't have a flat surface for my tent. Also keep in mind: As of late December, there's still a fire ban, so no campfires allowed. Point of interest: If you're coming from the south (or feel like driving 40 minutes south), do NOT miss the Elephant Seal Vista Point near the Hearst Castle. I went around sunset and saw dozens of seals on the beach, including some pups!

Amazing location. Across the street from sand dollar beach. Close enough to general store in Gorda, and for a slightly longer trip down to the elephant seal beach.
