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 staff was very helpful combining a three day stay at three campsites into one campsite.
Facilities are clean and the view is great!

First - the weather was perfect. It was a nice drive up from where we live in SLO County. The campground was quiet and serene - just what we needed for a few days of rest and reading. It was nice to ride my bike to the end of the road without any traffic. The campground hosts were nice, bathrooms clean; it was a great time to be at Placket.

We love camping at this park. Although the trail down to Sand Dollar beach had a portion that was heavily eroded, we were able to make it down. We are thankful that the bathrooms have been repaired. We love that the National Forest park is more dog friendly than some of the State Parks, and that there are trails where we can walk with her.
