Beautiful campground, great location, awesome hosts. Clean bathrooms with flush toilets - so fancy living! Highly recommend. A little pricey for a campground, but the location and amenities justify it. Will stay again.

Campground very clean. Bathroom sinks all not available for use. Very little traffic noise due to Hwy. 1 closure further north. While good to use campground-provided firewood,
$15/bundle a bit high for what you get (bring kindling or fire starters).
Camp hosts friendly and helpful.

A full campground, but that’s to be expected here. Easy in and out. Fire pit and grill stand worked perfectly.

I stayed at Plaskett Creek from May 15 through May 19 in an A frame style tent with plenty of blankets, large area with a fire ring, picnic bench and a few trees plenty of shade. No showers in this camp but made due with boiling water and a bucket, bathrooms are flushing toilets and kept clean, No phone service but for me it was a plus. There are a few trails that lead down to the beach some off the beaten path. Beautiful Sunsets and on a clear sky plenty of stars. Camp host has plenty of firewood and some essential supplies i.e toothpaste and soap. I’ve stayed in many campsites and this one by far was the most enjoyable I always stay in a tent so plan accordingly.
