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 love this campground. I especially like riding my bike to the end of the road without much traffic because of the landslide closure. It's just far enough away that it's not too far.

Campground hosts were very nice. They kept the place clean. Even though there’s no water in the bathrooms to wash your hands, they kept the bathrooms very clean. Super nice place to camp, but I don’t recommend anybody else going there. The reason is I wanna make sure I can find a spot the next time I go :)

Clean and beautiful campsite located between the ocean and the mountain.
Some of the toilets are flush-type.

Great place to camp with a beautiful beach across Highway 1. Steep access but worth it!

We could not tell from the campsite photos that many of the sites have a shorter driveway and only half of which may be level. We were sleeping in two cars, so we hoped to switch sites to a more level one for both cars. The camp host (Ken) was off duty for the days we were there, but even so helped us sort this campsite situation out temporarily and gave us a lot of useful info. The next day, the relief camp host (Michael) arrived and in a most friendly manner assured us he would find us a campsite with a flatter driveway for our two cars by the time we returned from our day of exploring the area. And that's exactly what happened. Also, Michael gave us a lot of info about how to find jade stones on Sand Dollar beach, and wonderful waterfalls to hike to. The vibe at this campground is so friendly and the campsites and bathrooms are so clean and neat, it is a real pleasure to stay here.
