Staff as usual where in good humor, attentive and helpful. Too bad the trees are slowly dying and being cut down. .

Lisa and William, our camp hosts were very warm, friendly, and helpful. They kept the campground in order and clean. Both had wealth of information to share. The restrooms were clean as William consistently tented to them, always working on something while Lisa was very engaged with visitors making everyone feeling comfortable. Would definitely visit this place again, primary because of our hosts.

We always enjoy our stay at Plaskett Creek. This time, we reserved site 10, right next to the camp host. The site is beautiful and huge, and yet we found it rather difficult to find good level spots for our tents. We took up on the camp host’s kind suggestion to set up one of the tents in a nice shaded spot under a tree on his site instead. Thank you! You could glimpse the ocean from the driveway, and it’s a short, easy stroll to gorgeous Sand Dollar Beach. The water spigots are on, but the sink/faucet in the cavernous bathroom is still turned off.

Camped here many times over the last 25 years and my last stay was exceptional. The camp hosts (Lisa and William) were the best hosts I've ever met. Lisa was always around and went out of her way to accommodate an extra night stay for me. They both were extremely friendly and wanted to take care of all their guests. The bathrooms were really well kept and smelled like they had just been cleaned each time I went in, despite the time of day. (Nicely done, William!) Campground was clean and very well managed. Plenty of potable water, despite other reviews. Looking forward to going back soon.
