A lot of the spaces are tight, and the campground could be updated, but still beautiful, with great sight lines, and a real relaxed vibe.

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.

We stayed at site #35 which is a very beautiful and big space. Even though there is a slight slope, we managed to find flat surface for our 2 tents. Overall beautiful campground at beautiful location. Will visit again. Note: please get your own firewood if possible. It is a bit expensive here.

Avoid site 8!!! The campground itself is lovely and right across the road from Sand Dollar Beach which was magnificent. But this campsite abuts the host area and a very very loud generator runs through much of the night. When it's not running there was often a lower volume generator also in the background. Very unfortunate because when neither was running you could hear the ocean but only for the seriously brief moments of actual quiet. I didn't get a bit of sleep all night from the noise. I'd camp at these grounds again but only if I could get a site on the opposite side of the campground.
