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.

Very quite and peaceful. My fav coastal campground on Hwy 1, beautiful trees and shade with gorgeous coastal access just across the Hwy

The location of this site is absolutely perfect. Secluded, no cell phone service, and less than a 5 minute easy walk down to the beach. Even with the site being completely full, it didn’t feel like it. Will definitely stay again.

Lovely campground close to coastline access, plenty of shade, dog friendly and clean bathrooms. Only downside is the abundance of poison oak along the perimeter of the campground and along trails

This is a cozy campground very close to the coast. Walkable distance to Sand Dollar beach. Several trails to explore nearby. Lots of shade, clean bathrooms with flushing toilets but no sinks. We really enjoyed our time here.

Campground was well maintained and very peaceful. Bathrooms were very clean. Unfortunately, all the sinks were broken and there was no potable water due to a recent storm. Sand Dollar Beach and bluff walking path was just across the street and super accessible. We will definitely stay here again.
