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.

Everything was perfect. We had 4 campsites all we’re in close proximity. The sites are well spread out for privacy. The bathrooms were very clean but unfortunately no potable water.
The hike to the beach is close by and the beach is magnificent.

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??

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.
