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.

Very clean. Allowed campfires. Hosts were friendly. Relatively close beach walks. A little cool and breezy but likely normal for early May.

It is still a beautiful camp and well kept. But there are some HUGE pot holes in the camp road that must be repaired. And I know the Forest Service is responsible as well but the trail down to Sand Dollar beach is on the verge of complete FAILURE. I am going to write the head of Los Padres about this.

The camp road needs maintenance. Big potholes. Some of the sites have broken pavement. The trial to the beach is about to fail and needs immediate attention!
