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.

Really amazing campground with access to incredible hikes and beaches. It’s pretty much an open layout, so expect to get to know your neighbors and neighbor’s neighbors. Clean and well kept. The camp host was awesome. Only downside was the bathroom sinks didn’t work. Otherwise, it’s highly recommended.

The campground was everything we had hoped for. Our camp hosts William and Lisa were awesome. We would come back again.

The campground was very clean and the host was very nice. The restrooms were kept very clean. There is a lot of area in the center of the campground for the kids to play. The beach nearby was very accessible too and the kids had a great time. The campsites under the shade of the trees are significantly cooler than the rest. We had to wear sweaters on overcast days during the day. Overall, we had an amazing Memorial Day long weekend.

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.
