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.

Fire ban that wasn’t published on the website; only one toilet open on the campsite; and no potable water available. None of this was published on the website and the confirmation email did not mention a fire ban or lack of water. Very poor experience. Luckily none of this affected us because we brought enough water, but made for a less than ideal camping experience.

We were told from another state camp site ( Limkelm) that there was E-Coli in the water. As a healthcare provider I was very concerned , when I saw campers washings their dishes, etc. in water with E-Coli. This campground should of been shut down.

Wow, no CAMPFIRE what so ever! The lady who was hosting was rude. We came ONE hour early and there were hardly anyone there. She said that we were one hour early and next time not to be so early. Wow, really now?

This is a campground where you can enjoy to camp under the beautiful trees by the hills and also hear the waves from Sand Dollar Beach 🤗
So many walking trails close by to explore. It was very nice.
Restrooms at campground were very clean, unfortunately there was no running water in the faucets, but other than that, everything was perfect.
The Camp hosts are very nice.
