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.

My firewood and hatchet got stole the first day when I was out. People suggested Iinform the camp host. She had a notion who it might be so I asked that person if he actually saw anyone take the wood. He described the car which led me to the campsite where the wood was. The man was very apologetic and returned wood and hatchet. I went to tell the host about the turn around and mentioned that if the host still clipped the names and dates on each camp site post, maybe this wouldn’t have happened. She immediately got angry and said I was wasting her “time off” (7:15 in the evening). The next day I left a note that I would return to my reserved campsite that night. When I returned, the note was gone and so was the wood. I always thought a host was available at all times.Evidently not! BTW, the outhouses were sparkling

Great except no water in toilets, only portapotties. If it wasn't for that it would be awesome, but I love it here.

Beautiful site and friendly host. Our favorite part was a hike in Limekiln Park just north of the campground and was recommended to us by the host. We should have been better prepared for the fog and mist though! Everything got very wet including our tent and we had to pack it up damp the last day and air it out at our next stop. Beautiful location though.

A delightful retreat situated immediately off the PCH but quiet and peaceful thanks to the reduced traffic this year. A distinct slope means that just about all of the sites offer a challenge for tent campers to find a level area but this is Big Sur and the slope is part of the fun.
Portable toilets have replaced the permanent washrooms, they are cleaned daily and serviced weekly so no complaints but it would be nice to see the proper facilities brought back into operation.
Our hosts were friendly and helpful when "on duty" , firewood is available and campfires permitted. There are always walk-in / cycle-in sites available despite the "camp full" signs that adorn the gates.
