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.

Campsite was beautiful as always. Host was very friendly and helpful. Limekiln was an great destination and day hike/walk. The only downside was the porta-potties. They are only emptied once a week and are very full after the busy weekends!

Our camp hosts were incredibly kind. They were friendly when we arrived and expressed their concern when we returned late on night. I could see Katy going around camp and socializing with other campsites. The grounds are well maintained, and there are currently porta potties instead of full bathrooms. Nice beaches only a 5-15 minute drive north of the site. Overall very lovely!

We stayed at campsite 10, which was elevated and at the corner, so we didn’t have other campers right on top of us.
The camp hosts, Katie and James, we’re amazing. They were super helpful and provided tips about things to do in the area. They were extremely friendly and we heard them giving everybody that came into the campground helpful information.

It's a very pretty campground with nice trees. So nice that it's easy to walk to the beach. The camp hosts were friendly and helpful. The only downside was that currently there are only porta-potties, because there's some sort of water problem such that the actual bathrooms are closed. But there was potable water available from the spigots, so that's better than having to bring all of your own water, at least.
