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.

Always a great camping experience at Plaskett Creek. Hosts are great and keep the campground very clean. Just don’t buy the overpriced fire wood. It’s extremely expensive and burns very quickly. Aside from that we love camping here.

Best camp hosts we've ever had in 30 years of camping here. So clean, welcoming and kind! Still wish there was running water in the bathrooms to wash hands, but everything else was great.

bathroom clean and spacious, good drinking water. Campground is very child and family friendly. We stayed here for 5 days and loved walking across the road to visit sand dollar beach for swimming and jade cove for rock hounding. We had a blast.
