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.

Site 34 was a good fit for our 23' travel trailer with enough level area to set up after disconnecting from truck. The walk down to the beach is maybe 5 min and this time of year we had big waves that scoured most of the sand away leaving millions of rounded stones and a bit tricky to walk on.

The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. The camp hosts lock them so they don't have to clean them and then they bring in porta potties. The porta potties were ACTUALLY OVERFLOWING!!!
They was also no toilet paper - we had to bring our own!
The bathroom situation was ridiculous!
BRING THE FLUSHING TOILETS BACK!!!

Beautiful campground! Gorgeous setting, easy getting in and out. Toilet situation is the only knock, having port-a-potties is not ideal and they were not super well maintained. But otherwise no complaints.
