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.

As always this is the most relaxing camping site we visit. Sounds of the ocean all night while we sleep. That early a.m. ocean fog rolling over the hills most mornings is absolutely perfect. We spent an entire week here and I can say we would have spent 2 if we had the time off. We visited jade cove beach which is close proximity and it’s wonderful. We will be back next year!

I don't think I have ever encountered a camp host who truly cares about a campground the way Michael does. Amazing host. He greeted us, told us about the campground, helped us park our trailer with an extra set of eyes. Just a really nice guy who keeps his campground wonderful.
