Without a doubt one of the best camping trips I’ve taken in a very long time. Camp host was above and beyond other hosts. Created many memorable moments at Plaskett….thank you.

The bathrooms were not functioning during our stay but the portable toilets were clean and well stocked- now that I’ve said that onto the main review: this campground is beautiful. We had an ocean view from our tent, all sites have ample space, and layout of the grounds is slightly tiered to give each site more privacy. The site host was friendly and informative. We enjoyed tide pooling and the kids rode bikes. We will be back. This is one of our new favorite spots!

Beautiful area, with a gorgeous ocean nearby. Though we live nearby, this special spot is never taken for granted. I like the low-key management style there; minimal check-in, no incessant golf cart patrols, and a happy vibe in the air. If I have one complaint, it's about all those bobbing bright headlamps everyone seems to wear as they go about their nightly fun on a moonlit night. Take a chance, campers, and turn off your spot beams. Give the moon and stars a chance to work their wonder.
