What Guests Are Saying
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 the campground, been there before. But bathrooms were closed and ports potty’s provided were long overdue to be emptied. It was awful, felt like you were going to sit in other people feces because the waste was so high. The whole campground was horrified and we were glad we were glad to leave…. Really really really gross and the worst camping experience.

Overall the campsites are large and beautiful, the location is excellent for beach sunsets and many near by hikes, excellent views. Unfortunately camping isn't cheap any more, and there was an issues with the potra potties being full. They were clean inside- but FULL. And that made every one at the camp a little uncomfortable. On our last day they did get cleaned.
The worst part was the group campers were having a full blown kumbaya at night! Like who brings a KAZOO?! Drunken guitar, screaming, DRUMMING, and KAZOO until at least 1am. Is it the camp hosts responsibility to shut it down? HOW RUDE people are to the rest of the full campsite. Where has decency gone? I am appalled-- it was like a camping worst nightmare. Usually campers are respectful -- I would hope more from fellow campers in the future.

Beautiful campground! Gorgeous setting, easy getting in and out. Toilet situation is the only knock, having port-a-potties is not ideal and they were not super well maintained. But otherwise no complaints.

The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. The camp hosts lock them so they don't have to clean them and then they bring in porta potties. The porta potties were ACTUALLY OVERFLOWING!!!
They was also no toilet paper - we had to bring our own!
The bathroom situation was ridiculous!
BRING THE FLUSHING TOILETS BACK!!!
