Plaskett Creek is a sweet little campground. We enjoyed walking across the highway to the beach. My only complaint is that there were only portable toilets and they were really dirty. We drove up the rode to go to the bathroom. I wouldn't go again until the regular bathrooms were open again

Loved our stay at this beautiful campground. Camp host is super nice and helpful. Amenities are well maintained. Campsites are closer to each other than we expected but not a big deal since everyone is respectful. We stayed at #36 which is almost meadow slopes but we ended up setting the tent on dirt ground simply because it’s the flattest part we could sleep on(still not 100% flat but we were ok). We noticed similar slopes for some other campsites too and saw someone just tent on the drive way. Just a heads up for anyone expecting very flat nice grass to sleep on - it’s location dependent and may not be available for some sites.

Good locations. There is a tick problem though, had to check the dogs and ourselves often
