We had a wonderful time at Plaskett Campground. The hosts were fantastic and gave us lots of information about nearby activities. The bathrooms were flush toilets and very clean and spacious, which made changing after spending time at the beach much easier. Because of recent flooding the trail to Sand Dollar Beach was damaged and a little bit difficult to get to due to the 1-3 foot deep trenches that got cut into it. But its do-able. The campsite is beautiful and well maintained with lots of nearby wildlife.

Camped in June 2023. Great camp hosts. Mike and Punky were super accommodating and nice. Came by and checked on us and visited. Nice campground, good facilities. There is one threaded spigot in the campground just in case that’s how you fill up your camper. No phone service except for one small area at front gate. Very close to the Sand Dollar beach. Overall great!

NO POTABLE WATER! This was not mentioned before we arrived but luckily we carry a container of water for emergencies when road tripping. Love this campsite. Campers were all respectful and the bathrooms were clean and well stocked. No crazy loud generators. Loud kids during the day and then by night, they were all tuckered out and it was nice.
