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.

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.
