Plaskett Creek Campground

Plaskett Creek campground is on the Southern end of the Big Sur Central Coast of Monterey County. Heading South on Highway 1, it's one of the last places to camp before leaving the remote stretches of the Big Sur coast. It really feels like a part of Big Sur, and it sits in a lush, green valley which is a short hike down to the beach. It's a very nice place to stop-over and visit, whether as a destination, or in transit heading either North or South along Highway 1.

Need a refund do to Timber fire...

Absolutely Loved Our Stay

We absolutely loved our stay at Plaskett Campground! It was such a beautiful, peaceful place, and we had an amazing time. It was exactly the kind of camping experience we were looking for, and we would definitely come back again.

The only downside for us was the porta potties. We personally aren’t fans of them, but other than that, we really had no complaints. Overall, we had such a wonderful experience and would absolutely recommend Plaskett to anyone looking for a great camping getaway! ❤️🏕️

Very nice place to camp in the woods just across the highway 1 from Sandollar beach, which is beautiful. The campground is an open layout, being that all the sites are overlooking the other sites. Jesse our Camp Host is very welcoming and informative.

Beautiful location, only a short walk away from Sand Dollar Beach

restrooms are out of order and replaced with port-a-potties. The campground has the hardest-working and nicest host I've ever encountered.

The campground is always beautiful, the access to the ocean and the quiet is great. I am perplexed as to why the restrooms are not working, and as to why the sinks have never worked. The portapottys are not very nice. They were clean, but still, it would be good to have the regular restrooms operational. Also, the camp water supply was signed as not safe, even for washing dishes. This wasn't clear on the reservation, and made the camping somewhat more difficult. I believe the camp hosts did their best to keep the campground operational, but facilities upgrades and maintenance really would help them keep the campground more inviting. Thank you.

Absolutely non existent maintenance. Big road potholes and tree root damage. Failure to maintain the spring water supply pursuant to the Safe Drinking Water Act. Unusable on site bathrooms, porta potties in use. Website did not display the actual availability of camp sites due to Hwy 1 closures. Very bad online updating of site availability, just the worst website. The NFS has ruined this gem of a campground that I have been coming to for 45 years. Just pathetic management of this campground. Downed trees have roots sticking up in the air leaving behind large dangerous deep holes, attractive nuisances for children.

Fix the bathrooms. It has been years with them out of service. YEARS!

Cannot imagine servicing portables is cost effective.

Hard to believe we were there right before it closed because of the fire. Tbis is a gem of a camp grounds hope it is ok after this fire is gone.
