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.

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.

Not as hard to get a spot as Kirk Creek, and in much better condition.

This is a beautiful campground with large sites. Some walking/hiking on the bluffs over the ocean across from the campground but the trail to the beach was too eroded for us to hike with a dog. There is no potable water at the campground which should be clearer on the info online about the campground and not just in reviews. We still enjoyed the campground.
