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.

The campground is immaculate and extremely well maintained. When we first arrived we met the hosts Punky and Michael. Very friendly and fun to chat with. They helped make our stay memorable. Looking forward to another visit this year. Some people have commented on Poison Oak, yes it is around and you will be just fine if you stay on trails and don't venture into the scrub. They have flushing toilets but no handwashing facilities so be prepared. There are faucets of potable water throughout the campground.

This is a beautiful campground with large sites. Some walking/hiking on the bluffs over the ocean across from the campground but the trail to the beach was too eroded for us to hike with a dog. There is no potable water at the campground which should be clearer on the info online about the campground and not just in reviews. We still enjoyed the campground.

Not as hard to get a spot as Kirk Creek, and in much better condition.

Site 33 is the best because of how secluded it is. Had a great time except for all the ticks. So be careful and stay out of tall grass.
