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.

We always enjoy our stay at Plaskett Creek. This time, we reserved site 10, right next to the camp host. The site is beautiful and huge, and yet we found it rather difficult to find good level spots for our tents. We took up on the camp host’s kind suggestion to set up one of the tents in a nice shaded spot under a tree on his site instead. Thank you! You could glimpse the ocean from the driveway, and it’s a short, easy stroll to gorgeous Sand Dollar Beach. The water spigots are on, but the sink/faucet in the cavernous bathroom is still turned off.

Lisa and William, our camp hosts were very warm, friendly, and helpful. They kept the campground in order and clean. Both had wealth of information to share. The restrooms were clean as William consistently tented to them, always working on something while Lisa was very engaged with visitors making everyone feeling comfortable. Would definitely visit this place again, primary because of our hosts.

Staff as usual where in good humor, attentive and helpful. Too bad the trees are slowly dying and being cut down. .

William and Lisa were fantastic camp hosts! They would check the toilets and trash sometimes 3x a day, making sure it was tidy and well kept. They were both friendly and we enjoyed their friendliness!
Plaskett creek is well situated on the coast and it’s one of my favorite places on earth!

We were in site 006, clearly the BEST site in the whole park. The camp hosts, William and Lisa, were 2 sites up from us. I have NEVER been witness to better camp hosts at any park I've ever been to...ever! They were very personable, helpful, friendly, etc. The place was CLEAN. William was constantly buzzing around in his cart dumping trash and tidying up. Because there are parking spaces for extra vehicles, random peeps would come in and try to park because Sand Dollar Beach is right down the street and it gets full on the weekends. William was patrolling to make sure people who didn't pay to be there would move and hit the road. He had to deal with some real turkeys, but he got the job done. This place is very gorgeous. I will say that the large ROCKS that have strategically placed so people don't park on the grass are a little tough to navigate so you'd better be good at backing in and avoiding damage to your vehicles. Our site was actually level from side to side, which was a shocker. We are 45 ft in length total, truck and trailer and we squeaked into our site 006 just fine.
