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.

Beautiful area and very quiet campground.
The bathrooms need a major upgrade - no flush toilets - only porta potty's

Camp sites are spread apart with plenty of elbow room. Many sites are level but few do need leveling blocks or stands for motor homes. Group sites are separated from rest of individual sites which allows privacy for the groups. Beach access is one block north of park entrance. Will return to this campground several times. Cell phone reception is spotty, but does exist.

Loved our stay at this beautiful campground. Camp host is super nice and helpful. Amenities are well maintained. Campsites are closer to each other than we expected but not a big deal since everyone is respectful. We stayed at #36 which is almost meadow slopes but we ended up setting the tent on dirt ground simply because it’s the flattest part we could sleep on(still not 100% flat but we were ok). We noticed similar slopes for some other campsites too and saw someone just tent on the drive way. Just a heads up for anyone expecting very flat nice grass to sleep on - it’s location dependent and may not be available for some sites.
