Summary
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.

It’s a beautiful campsite, but it’s very poorly maintained. We were in one of the group sites, and the smell from the pit toilets which are placed in the middle of the group sites was quite overwhelming. Not only that but someone forgot to unlock the toilets. Further, there was a fire ban throughout the site, which made no sense because there had been recent rains. Camping in December, after there had been rain, it’s really nice to have a fire and very cold without one.

It was disappointing that the website and reservation did not elaborate there were no campfires allowed. We checked the USFS website regarding burn days and our stay was not listed as a no-burn day. Upon arrival, the camp host informed us that we were not allowed to burn wood, but were allowed to cook on a propane stove. No problem. If only the second night of our stay, the camp host was enjoying a fire next to their RV while we ate dinner in the cold. I don’t mind being cold, but I do mind the hypocrisy of the camp host.

Amazing location. Across the street from sand dollar beach. Close enough to general store in Gorda, and for a slightly longer trip down to the elephant seal beach.
