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.

No potable water and portapoties - what happened?! This campground used to be incredible, but now... serious lack of maintenance and not having the basics was a disappointment.

While the location was amazing, the staff at this site were not friendly. Additionally the bathroom sinks were closed off so there was no sink to wash your hands with (and only half the bathroom were accessible). On our second day, they removed the spicket handle so we couldn't get water there and on our third day they installed porta-potties at 8AM in the morning right next to our campsite. We immediately packed up and left. What a disappointing campground experience.

My wife and I love the place. The only one thing, those ladies (host camp) are so rude… the fanciest thing: 2 different people but the same rudeness.
