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.

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.

It's a nice campground in a beautiful location on the California Central Coast. The only draw back is the limited amount of flat tent spaces.

It's a very pretty campground with nice trees. So nice that it's easy to walk to the beach. The camp hosts were friendly and helpful. The only downside was that currently there are only porta-potties, because there's some sort of water problem such that the actual bathrooms are closed. But there was potable water available from the spigots, so that's better than having to bring all of your own water, at least.

We stayed at campsite 10, which was elevated and at the corner, so we didn’t have other campers right on top of us.
The camp hosts, Katie and James, we’re amazing. They were super helpful and provided tips about things to do in the area. They were extremely friendly and we heard them giving everybody that came into the campground helpful information.
