Los Padres/Plaskett Creek

R we there yet NM Coon’s

You have the use the recreation.gov app to make reservations and pay, easy once we figured it out. We stayed in 007, upon arrival camp host was very helpful and friendly. Our spot was a little steep and not much room to maneuver. No hook up, bathrooms are nice. They do have fresh water spout’s around the campground. Quiet hours 6pm to 10am, no generator usage. Sand dollar beach ( no sand dollars) across the road, beautiful and scenic walk down. Be aware of tides. Otherwise quite a beautiful campground, quiet and peaceful.

We just had the best family reunion here!! Michael was the best host. We had booked GS1 for our group of 21 people, and once we got there, we realized that we weren't going to fit. Michael worked his magic, and we ended up in a great spot. The bathrooms were immaculate, the closeness to the beach was awesome (FYI, it does take you down a steep set of stairs to get there, so be warned), so overall, an amazing experience. 10/10 would recommend and will be back!!

An unbelievably beautiful campground with unbelievably kind hosts! Michael and Punky do a wonderful job at running the campground, making sure everyone passing through enjoys their time there. Both of them are hilarious and extremely knowledgeable about the surrounding area. In our case, we had trouble figuring out a path back to the 101 due to the lack of cell service; not only did Michael show us a nearby road that had reopened recently, saving us a bunch of time -- he told us exactly how to safely navigate it and even pitched a couple great attractions along the way (check out Limekiln State Park!). They also have a table stocked with firewood and various first aid supplies which you can purchase from them during the day if you've forgotten anything at home. Be sure to go to them if you need help with anything! Of course, the stretch of coastline adjacent to the campground is amazing. There are various hiking trails with sweeping views, trails that lead into the hills, day-use areas for picnics, pebbly beaches that are perfect for a day in the water. With so much to do, there's certainly never a reason to be bored if you're staying at Plaskett Creek. But as always, it's the people around you who really make a trip outdoors something special. Thank you to our excellent hosts, we can't wait to come back!

You will not find camp hosts more generous and welcoming than Michael and Punky. These folks are the pinnacle of hospitality, ready to help however they can. The real effing deal. Not a bad site in the campground. Well-maintained facilities and proximity to several cool locations (ask Michael about Limekiln and the monastery) make Plaskett Creek an absolute gem.

Biked up to this site and we were so welcomed and well taken care of by Michael. It was like sleeping in a green fairy meadow. There were lilies at the entrance and clean flush toilets. The campground is open and everyone is mostly in site of each other in this big loop which I liked and made me feel secure. I would highly recommend. On the way back we were trying to find out the bus schedule and Michael searched it for us, cutting our ride mileage in half, saved the day!
