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.

We did not know ahead that the water was non-potable (e-coli breakout). Thankfully we brought plenty of water. Maybe an email to upcoming reservations so that people know would be helpful.

There was no potable water available, but the campground was open and park like with a nice beach nearby, The area around the campground is chapparal, not forest.
