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 got group site 1 which was spacious, set back from the rest of the campground and even had a fancy grill to cook on in addition to the firepit. The campground hosts were nice and accommodating. I would definitely stay again.

I recently stayed at this campground with my mom and niece, who were visiting from Central Asia, and they were absolutely amazed by how clean and well-organized everything was. I’ve always loved this place, and if you’re lucky enough to snag a spot here, you’re in for a treat!I was thrilled to see Michael and Punky again on this trip. They went above and beyond during my last visit when I fell ill with a fever, taking care of me for days until I recovered. They even looked after my 7-year-old daughter, keeping her entertained and happy. I can't express enough gratitude for their incredible kindness and generosity. Every time I visit, I feel welcomed—almost like coming home. Michael and Punky are the heart and soul of this campground, making the long drive worth every mile. They maintain the grounds beautifully and always check in to ensure you have everything you need. Their love for children is evident in the way they treat them as if they were their own. I always look forward to coming back, thanks to them!
Forever grateful to Michael and Punky and their sweet dogs and cats! ❤️🙏

Our host was 5 stars. The area is wonderful and very clean. The trash cans were emptied EVERY day and the toilets were cleaned daily too. There is lots to do in the area and the host was very helpful in supplying us with more things to do and places to visit. I would like to see the water turned on to the sinks in the bathrooms. Don't understand how you can have flush toilets, but no water in the sinks. A few longer sites would be nice. Also, the slope on the sites is a bit scarry. The front of our trailer required over 16" of blocks to get the trailer "almost" level.

Plaskett has always been my favorite local campground, I have been going there for more than 30 years. I hate the online reservation game that has to be played though. The hosts were very pleasant and the grounds and bathrooms were very clean.
