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.

This campground is amazing. My family had an amazing trip and sand dollar beach, just across the highway, is one of the best beaches we’ve ever been to. My only complaint is the lack of courtesy from other campers at this campground. We have been to campgrounds all over California and we have never seen so many people, kids and adults, with complete disregard for personal space. There were people walking through our campsite the entire time. It’s kind of hard to enjoy a family dinner or a camp fire when strangers are constantly walking by the table, in between our truck and trailer, and all through our set up. Overall, still a great campground and we are already talking about when we are going back.

Such a beautiful campground. Bathrooms and campground was extremely clean. Sand Dollar beach is literally a walk across the street. We stopped in Cambria on the way home, and did a little shopping at the local antique store.
