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.

this campground is almost perfect in every way. friendly host, spacious sites. 300 yards away from Sandstone Beach. a very good family vibe exists thru-out the whole park. i was aware of the water situation and they had ample port-a-pottys on site that were cleaned every 3rd day.

Beautiful campsite by Highway 1. You can hear the highway on weekends. No portable water at the campsite. All bathrooms were out of service, and only a port-a-potty was available.

It was a quiet campground near the Big Sur Highway. Could also go to part across the highway and view Sand Dollar beach and the ocean.
Drawbacks were that the restroom facilities were not open. There were many portapotties in the campground if you needed to use a facility. There was also no potable water available--be sure to come with plenty of water for your needs.

The campground is well-situated—very close to the beautiful Sand Dollar Beach and right along Pacific Coast Highway 1, which gets quite busy during the day. However, it was quiet in the evening. There were still a few spots available, even though the website showed the site as fully booked—something that surprised me. The two buildings containing flush toilets were closed. This meant that we had to use the composting toilets located outdoors. As you can imagine, that wasn't always a very pleasant experience.
