Have been coming to Plaskett Creek for many years now, at first tent camping, then tent-truck camping and now in our newly converted mini schoolbus camper. It is always a special trip and a recharging experience, food for the soul you might say. Facilities always immaculately maintained, friendly camp hosts and respectful camper neighbors. Discovered even more trails to explore on mountain bikes this last time out and had another wonderful getaway week. Looking forward to coming here for many years to come. Keep up the great work please!

No fires allowed, but no signage at the entrance or notification ahead of time. Also no drinkable water. What did we pay for??

Sand Dollar Beach is right across the road, as are some trails. The water was out when we were there which was unexpected but that's a temporary thing. Nice campground in a really incredible place.

Really nice campground in a great location. However, no running water, no campfires allowed and an unfriendly host put a damper on the overall experience.

First of all, this is a beautiful campground, that’s about it. No potable water and the restrooms only half work. The infrastructure is badly needed of updating. The access to the beach needs a lot of repairs, and very dangerous.
