Nice campground, but watch out for the boulders! There are large boulders along all the roadways and campsites, making it difficult to navigate and difficult to pull into your campsite! The forest service has made this unnecessarily difficult for larger RVs. Everything else was good about the campground, though it was very busy on a summer weekend.

We were in site 006, clearly the BEST site in the whole park. The camp hosts, William and Lisa, were 2 sites up from us. I have NEVER been witness to better camp hosts at any park I've ever been to...ever! They were very personable, helpful, friendly, etc. The place was CLEAN. William was constantly buzzing around in his cart dumping trash and tidying up. Because there are parking spaces for extra vehicles, random peeps would come in and try to park because Sand Dollar Beach is right down the street and it gets full on the weekends. William was patrolling to make sure people who didn't pay to be there would move and hit the road. He had to deal with some real turkeys, but he got the job done. This place is very gorgeous. I will say that the large ROCKS that have strategically placed so people don't park on the grass are a little tough to navigate so you'd better be good at backing in and avoiding damage to your vehicles. Our site was actually level from side to side, which was a shocker. We are 45 ft in length total, truck and trailer and we squeaked into our site 006 just fine.

William and Lisa were fantastic camp hosts! They would check the toilets and trash sometimes 3x a day, making sure it was tidy and well kept. They were both friendly and we enjoyed their friendliness!
Plaskett creek is well situated on the coast and it’s one of my favorite places on earth!
