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.

Absolutely loved it here!! Campground is surrounded by trees but from our site you could still see the ocean and can always hear the waves crashing on the shores. Site 33 is the best! It's more secluded from the other sites but still with plenty of room. The road going north was closed but plenty of hikes and beaches to explore near the campground. Firewood is $15 a bundle but the camp hosts were super nice and always readily available. 10/10 will definitely be back here again.

Campsite 8 had a lovely view of the beach. The walk was less than 15 minutes which made it better. The view of the stars late at night was spectacular. The camp site itself was a bit tilted but we were able to sleep fine. Being next to the host was not an issue. I did wish that they sold wood for longer but it stopped at 6:30pm. Also this place does not have a bear den. I will definitely come back but I would also love to see showeres one day. Restrooms were clean but the sinks were not usable.
