Plaskett Creek Campground

Beautiful quiet campground. We could hear the ocean waves from many parts of the campground .

Very, very clean and quiet.

Camp host was top notch.

This is a premier national forest campground, within Big Sur area. A great stop. Be sure to backtrack to the Whale Watcher Inn for breakfast or other meals. The only drawback is bathroom access, while it be flush toilets, was limited. That may continue for a while because of the drought across the region.

The host was a kind and beautiful campground. I will be back in near future.
Two thumbs up!!!

My campsite was just okay, #34. It was right next to a bathroom, and people would walk right through my site to go to the bathroom - which I thought was inconsiderate! Fortunately, the bathrooms are not lit up at night so that there wasn't glaring lights all night long.
The best sites were definitely on the outside perimeter of the loop road, so try to get one of those.
I highly recommend crossing Hwy 1 to access Sand Dollar Beach. It was a beautiful, expansive beach, and if the tide is low, you can go inside a cave on the far end of the beach to the north.
