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.

This is a beautiful campsite located across the street from an epic beach, but the lack of potable water and any kind of bathroom facilities makes one wonder what exactly one is paying for. Water problem needs to be remedied ASAP.

Group campsites had many gopher holes making it difficult to walk around. No lights in the outhouses. No water available but they are still charging high rates.

The campground is very pretty but it doesnt have portable water or restroom. It seems like each site is spreaded out so you will have some your own space

This camp site is easily the best campsite in National Park system for short term stay. The camp host is friendly & helpful, the weather is mild, the camp is quiet with mostly filies, the camp is large and private. Even you can hear ocean, but it is not windy at all. The only issue is the water tank up the hill is broken, so we had to used vault toilet

Disappointed that the bathrooms were not open. We arrived on Thursday and the portapotties were clean and fine. By the time we left on Sunday, they were destroyed. The budget cuts are sadly evident throughout the area as one of our favorite hikes, the one to McWay Falls was also closed off inexplicably. Big Sur is always beautiful but its not as sleepy as it was when I came growing up.
