Plaskett Creek Campground

The staff were very friendly and helpful. One staff sat with us for an hour trying to get our dead battery charged. It was very kind. We stayed in campsite 8 and while it was a beautiful site, it had major drawbacks. First, there are generators that are literally running all night long directly behind the site. No idea why, but it is very loud, makes it hard to sleep. There is also a gate at the back of the site that is an entrance to and from a staff area where the generators are located. So, we had campsite staff coming in and out of our site randomly throughout the day and night. They were tremendously polite about it, but it was a bit obnoxious to have someone suddenly walking through our site unannounced in the pitch dark or in the early morning. Overall, Plaskett Creek campsite is a beautiful place, and we will definitely be back, but we will never stay at site 8 again.

Nice quiet campground within walking distance to sand dollar beach. Lots of shade trees.

Friendly host. Nice place close to the ocean

The campground was lovely. Lots of space between the sites, and great views of the ocean. It was a quick walk across the street to bluffs over looking the ocean, and from there it was easy to access the beach. There were a number of stairs down to the beach. A mini mart with essentials for whatever you forgot was just 3 miles south of the campground. My only complaint was the water situation. I noticed another review mentioning that the water wasn't potable. Nothing on the US Forestry website mentioned this issue. I called the information line and they didn't know the answer but redirected me to another website (campone.com), which supposedly had the correct information. I don't understand why there was a separate website and it wasn't linked at all from the official one. The camp one website said the water was not potable. We brought water just in case. At the campground there was not one single sign saying that the water wasn't potable, but every camper had bottled water and the host was selling water for $5/gallon. I'm really disappointed that the information about water being potable or not wasn't listed clearly on the main website or posted in the campground. It was really confusing for a first time camper there.

TL;DR: Campground is fantastic, but bring bottled water.

They gave our place to someone else (even though we reserved with time) and the people in out spot did not want to move so we had to wait a couple hours before we could get another spot. Plus I thought $15 dollars for a small stack of wood for burning was kind of pricey. Overall it was good thought.
