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.

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! :)

Very clean and quiet camp grounds. Host checked in with us from time to time to see if all was alright.

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.
