Very nice campground - appreciated the paved driveway at each site! Didn’t feel like sites were on top of each other - lots of neighbors but not too close. Two bathroom buildings with flush toilets, so every site is reasonably close. The hosts were present and attentive - saw them cleaning, picking up trash, and helping sort out situations with different parties. Running water is currently contaminated, so bring plenty or expect to boil what you need. Sand Dollar Beach and Jade Cove (at least, the bluffs above) are within reasonable walking distance. The campground itself has some nice shade (though several trees have hanging branches that could use some attention.)

overall good experience, clean restrooms and attentive staff. The trees need to be better maintained, several tree limbs looked like they could fall

Molly the camp host is always friendly and helpful every time we are at Plaskett Creek. Too bad she is moving on to Oregon in May. Restrooms were clean like always. The only real problem that I have observed in the campground is the tree branches hanging down low in several sites. A 50 foot space is going to have trailers and motorhomes backing into them. But some branches are only 8 feet off the ground. The FOREST SERVICE NEEDS TO ADRESS THIS BIG PROBLEM. Luckily my trailer was not damaged this time, even though branches hung up on my rooftop AC unit. Central Big Sur is a great area.
