Best camp hosts we've ever had in 30 years of camping here. So clean, welcoming and kind! Still wish there was running water in the bathrooms to wash hands, but everything else was great.

Always a great camping experience at Plaskett Creek. Hosts are great and keep the campground very clean. Just don’t buy the overpriced fire wood. It’s extremely expensive and burns very quickly. Aside from that we love camping here.

Hosts were incredibly welcoming, genuine people and they work hard to make this campsite feel homey. I enjoyed my first stay here so much that I returned on my way south.
The surrounding area is beautiful and with the closure just to the North, it's quieter this year than when I've come through previously. I enjoyed all the nearby trails and beaches. Hoping to visit again soon.

Beautiful visit. We've loved coming here, but haven't visited in a while. The new campsite director is wonderful and had a whole stand of local are set up. Great location and friendly campers.
