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.

The roads were closed from North and also the website didn’t make it very clear which route is open.
There was no bear box and the site was not maintained. The wild grass on the campsite made the surface uneven.
The table at our site was very dirty.

Plaskett Creek was Awesome! The camp host was very cordial. The trip up the PCH 1 was breathtaking. Make sure you bring plenty of water for cooking and bathing if you are tent camping. There is an abundance of poison oak so bring a bottle of calamine lotion just in case. Can’t wait to camp there again.

Plaskett Creek is a sweet little campground. We enjoyed walking across the highway to the beach. My only complaint is that there were only portable toilets and they were really dirty. We drove up the rode to go to the bathroom. I wouldn't go again until the regular bathrooms were open again

Loved our stay at this beautiful campground. Camp host is super nice and helpful. Amenities are well maintained. Campsites are closer to each other than we expected but not a big deal since everyone is respectful. We stayed at #36 which is almost meadow slopes but we ended up setting the tent on dirt ground simply because it’s the flattest part we could sleep on(still not 100% flat but we were ok). We noticed similar slopes for some other campsites too and saw someone just tent on the drive way. Just a heads up for anyone expecting very flat nice grass to sleep on - it’s location dependent and may not be available for some sites.
