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.

Clean , shady, nicely spaced campsites. Walkable to Sand dollar
Beach. Water spigots are short walk
From each site. Clean bathrooms. Campers obeyed the quiet hours. Lots of surfing families which was fun.

Beautiful location, very close to the sand dollar beach. The hosts were awesome. The only drawback is no cell coverage in the campground; however, if you go to the entrance, there is a specific spot (no clue why) where you will mostly get a bar to quickly check emails or messages.

Great campground. Can’t imagine a more special location. The host was very friendly and interesting. Beware a lot of poison oak all around the campgrounds.

Very nice location with big camp sites. The whole camp area is very clean and quiet. Many lots are slightly slanted so it can be a challenge to find a flat area to place your tent.
