Plaskett Creek is an excellent campground for anyone looking for a quiet, peacefully and incredibly beautiful place. We like tent camping and the grassy areas all around allow for wonderful natural padding. Good long tables with extensions for your camp stove and fire rings make it more enjoyable. 10 minute walk to a spectacular sunset over the bluffs, and another 10 minutes a often empty beach. California camping at its finest
