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.

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.

Site 16 has shade in the morning and then full sun the rest of the day.

Campground is ok. Really far from everything and look out for ticks at nearby beaches. Camp ground and the closest gas station only takes cash so don’t depend on using your card in a pinch. No cell service. No working sinks in bathrooms, they are all turned off. Bring your own portable shower. Skunks run the campground at night. Lock all your food in your car.

Great location. However, due to its remoteness, it's a free-for-all as far as lack of rule enforcement and what to expect from those you are camping nearby. Be wary.
