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.

Loved camping there. We haven’t been there in a long time. The trail down to Sand Dollar Beach was inaccessible but the campground was nice. Many trees still down that haven’t been cut up and hauled away. The sinks don’t have water. Even with these problems it was still a beautiful place to camp.

We had a magnificent weekend camping at Plaskett Creek. Camp ground was sheltered from the wind and it ended up being a warm 70 degrees in April. One of my favorite places to camp.

Beautiful setting, campground surrounded by large old growth trees with day use area and beach access just across the highway. Infrastructure was decent, but drive areas are narrow with some rough spots, and my wooden picnic table had grass growing up from the cracks between the plank tops. Short generator hours (when you would be out hiking or enjoying the beach) was a bit frustrating. Great hiking trail along the bluff on beach side of Highway 1.

We were at site 21 which had a really nice view of the ocean. We appreciated that most at sunset. The campground is beautiful and the walk to the water was relatively short. Some things to note - There is a road near site #21 that campers aren't allowed in and whatever is back there had a loud generator that ran for many hours, including at 5am. The $15 "bundle" of firewood that was sold at the campground consisted of 5 tiny pieces of wood, definitely remember to pack your own. The sinks weren't running in the bathroom but that didn't matter much to us. We would absolutely come back to this campground!

Site 33 is the best because of how secluded it is. Had a great time except for all the ticks. So be careful and stay out of tall grass.
