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 location, very close to the sand dollar beach. The hosts were awesome. The only drawback is no cell coverage in the campground; however, if you go to the entrance, there is a specific spot (no clue why) where you will mostly get a bar to quickly check emails or messages.

Clean , shady, nicely spaced campsites. Walkable to Sand dollar
Beach. Water spigots are short walk
From each site. Clean bathrooms. Campers obeyed the quiet hours. Lots of surfing families which was fun.

The campsites on the edges have the most privacy and flatter surfaces. Stayed at camp 33 and felt like I was on my own until I stepped out down the trail to find the restroom. Location is excellent to walk down to the beach or a nice hike.
