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.

This was our 1st time at Plaskett Creek CG. We stayed in site 7. This is a beautiful location and a quiet campground (I would estimate the campground was 3/4 full). We loved this location and campground so much that we are returning in a few months!

This is a beautiful, well maintained campground with great hosts. However, the water was off in the bathroom sinks and dishwashing areas.
Sand Dollar day use area is practically across the road and is a must see. It would be nice if there was a trail to it where you didn’t have to walk on the highway. If the water was on in the bathrooms (portability issues) it’s a five star experience.

This is a beautiful area. We enjoyed biking up Highway 1. We have solar panels on the RV. The host let us move to a sunny spot for the last two days (of four).

Beautiful and quiet! The host is amazing super nice and funny and gave us some great recommendations for hiking nearby. Not big on actual campgrounds I prefer dispersed camping with nobody around but this place is awesome 10/10
