Plaskett Creek is lovely location, quiet and peaceful. The Camp Host was extremely welcoming and had good hints for a hike. We can highly recommend this spot.

Great camp sites, clean facilities, and incredible location and view. Family and pet friendly. It was not mentioned in campground summary, but there was NO POTABLE WATER on site (as of June 2023). Flush toilets were available but no sink access for personal hygiene. The spigots around campground are running, but again non-potable water. You can get free potable drinking water if you drive less than a mile North of campground to US Forest Service building and you must have your own water container/jug to fill. Or South of campground, you can buy bottled drinking water in Gorda.
