Plaskett Creek Campground

I am a foreigner traveling for several months around the world. We camped in 6 national parks and their state campgrounds for 3 weeks this summer and all went well until I made the mistake of booking this campground which at first seemed great to me… My first mistake was to book a group site (at $150) without realizing it because I thought that the prices in the area were much higher than in the national parks (by studying other campsites the prices were higher). Then, our GPS took us as always following the directions of the recration.gov application to our location. I had doubts about this location but we did not find anyone the same evening or the next morning to confirm that we were in the right place. So we left to discover the Monterrey aquarium, leaving our camp. We had a problem with our car in Monterrey which required us to spend the night there. Coming back the following day at the end of the day, our tent had disappeared... We took a good hour to find a guard to get an explanation. We were in the wrong location and they had to move our tent to make room for people who had booked at this location. We were dropped our tent with our bulk bags in it at our site (at $150\night) for a group when we are a family of 3. We left the next day with no regrets. My opinion on this campsite is that everything seemed vague to me, whereas everything was very clear in the 6 other state campsites that I was able to do with my family. Lastly, I found the staff rude. They look like thugs out of an old 80s B series… Aside from our last bad camping experience in the American West, the campsite is quite nice with a view of the sea for group sites at $150, if you have the means, don't hesitate...

Porta pots and non potable water is the current situation at your campground. That is tough when hoping to stay in your beautiful location for more than 2-3 days. If it is for financial reasons the bathroom facilities are not up and running, then hope funds can became available again soon.
Location is stunning and campground layout is great, it truly is a gem. Just hope the amenities can get back to a better maintained state.

No potable water or flush toilets as was expected based on online information. No prior notice that facilities were unavailable. Firewood is very expensive - $15 per bundle. Based on PMC Parks information, firewood should have been $10/bundle: "Firewood:
All of our campgrounds which have hosts on site sell firewood. They sell for $10 per bundle. You are also welcome to bring your own, but please do try to buy where you will burn." The location is nice, that's about it.

It is very well organized online system. I'm very happy with Recreation.gov quick response. I recommend.

The location itself is along Highway 1 which is of course very unique. You can hear the ocean in the background. Other than that this was not a good experience; we camped at 8 different campsites on our road trip and this was by far the most expensive and the only one that was a poor experience. We arrived after hours (about 9 pm) which we were told would be fine. Took us 20 minutes to try to find our spot. We had to enlist the help of other campers and still never found our spot. Our reservation said "GS3" which we eventually discovered was Group Spot 3 but Group Spot 3 is not labeled. There are not any signs as you drive along guiding you through the number system. The bulletin board up front guided us to the group spots but the group spots were unlabeled and did not have accessible bathrooms (bathroom was locked). We had a significantly long walk down to the bathrooms the other campers had but paid the same price as they did. Those toilets were port-pottys set outside the original restrooms and some of those were locked. When we found our spot there was no once else camping there and the spot sloped significantly. Be aware the water spigots are non-potable water so you cannot use them for your hands or even rinsing dishes. In the morning tried to find the camp host help to move to the spot we were supposed to be in but still couldn't find anyone. Went down the road to Sand Dollar beach to use their facilities for our morning routine.

The lady host is rude
