When I arrived, the host was off duty and it said to visit relief host for check in but I didn't see any info about where the relief host would be. He ended up approaching me and saying hello then providing my parking pass. Site 16's tree has been destroyed so there's no shade but there was also no sun so it's all good. sunset was beautiful, visible from those first sites near the entrance. That short walk to the beach is just so amazing!! I loved this place so much last year I was okay with only a 1-night stay to just enjoy that sweet ocean access. They had tons of porter-pottys so using the bathroom was no problem. Bring water because they had no potable water.

So clean. Best camp latrines I’ve ever seen, no kidding!

The grounds are clean and spacious. There are beautiful nature and neat sites to explore. However it’s the hosts who made this stay amazing! They were gracious and friendly when we woke them up at 11 o’clock at night due to being locked out of the car while still setting up camp. These are amazing people who care about the work they do!

There was no portable water/ flush toilet available. camper had to drive to near faire station to get water. Yet, camping site cost was not adjusted to lowered level of facility.

We had an amazing time at this campground last weekend! We stayed at site 34. The campsite itself was great. Clean, spacious, and in a perfect location close to the porta potties, which were surprisingly very clean and well maintained. The camp hosts were super friendly and welcoming, and the overall vibe around the campground was awesome. It felt relaxing, safe, and family/dog friendly. We also loved how convenient the location was for exploring the area. Our dog had a blast too! Definitely one of our favorite camping trips and we would absolutely come back again.

Two things:
1) it’s time that people who make reservations and don’t show up and don’t cancel might have a consequence. There was capacity for quite a few more people on the nights we were there on 5/6 and 5/7, although the campgrounds were “full“.
2) the bathrooms are not open. They have clean porta potties, and there is no pump out station.

We had a wonderful weekend in Big Sur. Plaskett is such a nice campground. We loved the camp hosts. They were really kind and informative. I would happily camp here again

It’s a Beautiful campground and very close to Sand Dollar Beach.
Unfortunately there is no water and they have porta potties for bathrooms, which are gross.
The campground hosts are amazing and made us feel really welcomed.
