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.

Campground is very pleasant with green grass and large cypress and oak trees which give lots of shade. Campsites were immaculate. Trails across Hwy 1 are numerous and interesting up on the bluff, but watch out for poison oak. Trail down to Sand Dollar Beach and Jade Cove are in serious need of repair. Overall, it's a great place to camp.

Host were nice. I had different camp sites for Sat and Sun. Host told me I could move to the other site on Sunday early if the people left before checkout. Unfortunately they did not, but still the hosts were ok with it. Restrooms and campground were clean. I felt safe. There’s not a lot of privacy between most campsites, but it’s Big Sur and it’s totally worth it! The beach is walking distance. Poison oak is overgrown everywhere so be careful (not at plaskett creek).
Highway 1 was closed down 8 miles out so we weren’t able to venture out much.

Wonderful campground, host were very friendly. Sand dollar beach is just across the street, quiet and isolated area to enjoy. Jade cove was a few meters down the road, walkable but bushy. Bathroom kept clean daily. Campsite 10 has the best sunset view looking towards the ocean. On the windier side but overall great location!
