Well, it wasn't a plus that the toilets were closed due to the severe drought in California, and half of the water spigots n/a. I'm not faulting these policies under the circumstances, but current camping at Plaskett is not what it used to be. And BTW, who is responsible for the trail maintenance of Jade Cove and Sand Dollar Beach? Overgrown, hard to even see the trails, much less hike on them, On the positive side, our camp host was Johnny-on-the-spot with his camper verification and garbage pick-up. Give that guy a bunch of smores! At least the firewood for sale was awesome! :)

Campground site very large with partial grass. The area where you park your rv was very uneven and difficult to level the RV.
There is a water shortage so they are using chemical toilets right now.
