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.

Love this campground! Second time coming and even though it’s 100% full it never feels like it. Campsite 6 is great for ease of access but it’s adjacent to the school right behind it and their generator was running non stop which wasn’t ideal for sleeping. Other than that, will definitely be coming back again!

The campground is in a beautiful area. My concerns were that my campsite #37 did not look like it had been cleaned before I checked in since there was used toilet paper at the back of the campsite. Also, the campground was full, it did not seem to have enough porta-potties, they filled with waste within 1 day and were not emptied. Totally gross. Also the public was using the "bushes" as a latrine. Overall please provide more maintenance for this campground.

I've been camping at Plaskett Creek for about 25 years and always enjoy my stay. Camp Host Katie runs a great campground!

Great campground with a very friendly host. I’ve been camping here in my RV for nine years. Always in the winter months when it’s nice and quiet with few other campers. I’m 81 years old and will continue to spend time here as long as I can.
