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.

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.

Everything was great, but since there was no cell phone reception, it would have been nice to have some boards showing hikes around the area.

Beautiful campground, with mature trees. Any complaints about bathroom cleanliness has more to do with fellow male campers (consistently not lifting seat to pee! ugh!) than cleaning routine by campground staff. Campground was probably more quiet than usual with the road closed north of the campground.
Access to the beach was easy. we were there fairly early in the season, so trail maintenance was underway to clear back a LOT of poison oak. Beautiful beaches. Friendly and helpful camp hosts.
