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.

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.

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.

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.
