The camp host was so great! They were so friendly and helpful, highly recommend using them again for your park. And of course, Plaskett is such a beautiful campground.

Beautiful location, bathrooms sinks were not working but that’s okay. Make sure you lock up your food in your car or in a secure place since we had raccoons open up our bins and a skunk sneak off with a box of cookies.

Fantastic campground steeped in all the enchantment and magic of Big Sur. Friendly folks and a variety of spaces available. Site 35 was quite large but much of the ground was sloped; I was happy to place my tent on a soft patch of grass near the road at the front of the site; I was worried it might not be as private but it was perfect and woke me up with sun in the mid-morning and shaded in the afternoon. Glimpses of the ocean through the trees and the mountain to the north. Private but with a full view of the campground; pleasantly surprised by a black cat that passed through multiple times and tons of birds — including quail. Bathrooms made a nice addition but the sinks were not in order.
