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.

Perfect location for Big Sur activities. Sand Dollar Beach is great and a short walk away.

Plaskett Creek is my favorite costal campground. The host Susan was very accommodating and helpful. She is an asset to the facility.

The Campground Hosts ran their generator until the early morning hours. So when picking a campsite stay as far away as possible.
Otherwise a great campground.

Always beautiful and tranquil setting. Would be nice if they brought back the sinks in the bathroom for use however.

There was no potable water available, but the campground was open and park like with a nice beach nearby, The area around the campground is chapparal, not forest.
