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.

Wow wow wow…An absolutely amazing park! Peaceful, quiet & beautiful. Stunning beach 5 minute walk away and hikes close to the camp. Such a shame highway 1 was closed just a little north of the ground when we stayed there, but was still worth going to, even then! Great place to stay in Big Sur at the moment with all the unfortunate closures. Highly reccommend!

Was not informed of e coli contamination in drinking water until my second day. This information needs to be communicated in a much clearer manner.

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.)
