Stay was great nice clean camp ground just that the bathrooms had a sink but they were wrapped with a trash bag so you can’t use them so no washing your hands also the bathrooms have no light in them so make sure you have a small lamp or flashlight when going to use the restroom at night but over all it was a nice stay!!!

Plaskett did not disappoint! It was beautiful, clean and quiet. The restrooms were always tidy and stocked, although the sinks were disabled due to non potable water. The hosts were terrific!! Friendly, nice and attentive . Such a blessing to have this slice of heaven!

Great quiet campground, first time up here and we had a fantastic time! Out spot (#18) had a slight slope but we managed for the 5 days we were there in the tent. The hosts keep the place looking great and the bathrooms had running water and were super clean. The near by Jade Cove and Sand Dollar beach were a 5 minute walk out of the campgrounds.
