This was my third stay at Plaskett and not my last. The location is world class and the overall feel for the campground is that it's open, green, and quiet. Guests have always been respectful of the noise and it was quiet all day and night long. The one downfall this visit was that the toilets weren't working at least at one end of the campground and we were reduced to using portable toilets. That failed to dampen the overall experience though. Water worked great, firewood was plentiful and supplied by a cheerful and helpful host. Already have a return booked in a couple weeks and more next year... one of my fave campsites anywhere.

This was our first time camping in Big Sur and we loved the campground. So spacious, green, and grassy. The only downside were the portable toilets. However they were well maintained and clean. Will definitely be coming back.

Loved this campsite! We were prepared and knew about the Porter potties and no showers so we brought our own setups. Cell phone Reception is not good but at certain points you can get enough signal to receive text messages. Sunsets across the street were amazing! Definitely want to come back!

Great campground family friendly with a grass area in the middle. Unfortunately only portable restrooms with no wash stations. Campground is very close to Sandollar Beach. A awesome beach and short access to the shore. Campground hosts were very friendly and helpful. Many campsites are level or easy to get leveled. Lots of shade and big trees throughout. I stayed at a campground #42

Location was great and so was upkeep with the bathrooms and whatnot. Communication from the camp-host replacements could have been better. Wanted to buy firewood and didn't know they were the ones I needed to go to.
