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.

Our camp host, Michael, was fantastic! However, the group site was much smaller than expected. From satellite images, it seems the vegetation has been allowed to grow too close to the campsite, which made it feel quite cramped. Additionally, there was poison oak everywhere, so be cautious.
The site does have a small terraced hill with a couple of additional tent spots, but it’s still better suited for smaller groups—maybe 4-5 tents max, with a shared kitchen and fire pit area. For larger groups, it would be quite challenging to fit everyone comfortably. I highly recommend that the USFS consider clearing some of the overgrowth at this site to improve the space.
Overall, we had a great time—it's hard not to at Plaskett! Just be prepared for limited space at this particular group site.

Excellent host, very clean toilets! There were a lot of ticks unfortunately for our dogs.

Michael was a camp host extraordinaire! He gave us ideas for a full day of hiking and exploring the area and it was the most amazing day. Included redwood forest hike and ropes down to a beautiful cove by the ocean. He was accommodating with our camp location due to pending rain. We loved this site and so appreciate Michael.

Campground was well maintained and very peaceful. Bathrooms were very clean. Unfortunately, all the sinks were broken and there was no potable water due to a recent storm. Sand Dollar Beach and bluff walking path was just across the street and super accessible. We will definitely stay here again.
