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.

The location of this camp site is EPIC: right in Big Sur without cell phone service across the street from a great surfing beach. My little boys loved collecting shells and sand dollars. I loved this campsite.

The only reason I didn’t rate the campground excellent was they didn’t have any potable water. Everything else was great. Our site was good the camp hosts were very friendly and explained a lot about the area. Would definitely come back.

Camp hosts were quite helpful, very chatty, no running water for camping, restrooms locked tight, ports-potty’s were available, area is BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL. Short jaunt across the street, couple minute hike down to the beach, beautiful there as well, Sand Beach, quietest camp we have ever been, excellent camping spot, BTW, there are pictures on Camp One that say they have photos of the camp sites by number, but it is a sham, the photos there have nothing to do with Plaskett Creek campground.

Nice clean & quiet campgrounds with great access to beach across the street, just watch out for the poison oak and especially the ticks.
