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.

The camp hosts were so kind and respectful. There's lots of space in the campgrounds, and they were clean. Bathrooms were clean too, flush toilets. No running water in the bathroom faucets this time of year so plan accordingly. There is potable running water dispersed around the campground.

Cute campsite! Although I truly wish large families would refrain from playing loud music. Not everyone wants to hear it and we all choose nature and camping for different reasons. I wish people were more respectful to other campers nearby in regards to noise levels, regardless of the time of day.

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.
