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 campsite was sloped - clearly for RVs not tents - it was next to the portopotty and smelled terrible and the whole campsite is right by Hwy 1 and loud with traffic noise. I would not camp here again.

Location was great and so was upkeep with the bathrooms and whatnot. Communication from the camp-host replacements could have been better. Wanted to buy firewood and didn't know they were the ones I needed to go to.

Loved this campsite! We were prepared and knew about the Porter potties and no showers so we brought our own setups. Cell phone Reception is not good but at certain points you can get enough signal to receive text messages. Sunsets across the street were amazing! Definitely want to come back!

Great campground family friendly with a grass area in the middle. Unfortunately only portable restrooms with no wash stations. Campground is very close to Sandollar Beach. A awesome beach and short access to the shore. Campground hosts were very friendly and helpful. Many campsites are level or easy to get leveled. Lots of shade and big trees throughout. I stayed at a campground #42
