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.

Great camp sites, clean facilities, and incredible location and view. Family and pet friendly. It was not mentioned in campground summary, but there was NO POTABLE WATER on site (as of June 2023). Flush toilets were available but no sink access for personal hygiene. The spigots around campground are running, but again non-potable water. You can get free potable drinking water if you drive less than a mile North of campground to US Forest Service building and you must have your own water container/jug to fill. Or South of campground, you can buy bottled drinking water in Gorda.

Plaskett Creek is lovely location, quiet and peaceful. The Camp Host was extremely welcoming and had good hints for a hike. We can highly recommend this spot.

NO POTABLE WATER! This was not mentioned before we arrived but luckily we carry a container of water for emergencies when road tripping. Love this campsite. Campers were all respectful and the bathrooms were clean and well stocked. No crazy loud generators. Loud kids during the day and then by night, they were all tuckered out and it was nice.

Camped in June 2023. Great camp hosts. Mike and Punky were super accommodating and nice. Came by and checked on us and visited. Nice campground, good facilities. There is one threaded spigot in the campground just in case that’s how you fill up your camper. No phone service except for one small area at front gate. Very close to the Sand Dollar beach. Overall great!
