Amazing campground and Sand Dollar Beach close is wonderful!
@PaulV2D86EED12 · Camped on Dec 1, 2025 at Campsite #32
Hope they reopen bathrooms soon. Otherwise a great campground
@JohnM1144946 · Camped on Nov 29, 2025 at Campsite #30
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.
@KimberlyB48851 · Camped on Nov 28, 2025 at Campsite #41
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 quiet campground. Kind staff, plenty of space per site
@AlanD7186329 · Camped on Nov 27, 2025 at Campsite #43
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.

My family and I had a wonderful time camping at Plaskett. Katie and Juan were kind and helpful! It was or first time camping there and we'll definitely be back!
@LauraR9755561 · Camped on Nov 23, 2025 at Campsite #25
The scenery is amazing and the host and rangers were kind and attentive. Campsites were clean and tidy, potable water is a boon! The bathrooms were out of service and have been for awhile. It would be nice if flat spots were created for tent campers. It was very hard to find a spot for our tent at many of the sites.
@JacobM7775883 · Camped on Nov 13, 2025 at Campsite #32
The campground host was AWFUL. These people should not be campground hosts if they are this angry when people come to camp. They were extremely rude and seemed like they hated their job as a CAMPGROUND HOST. They should never host ever again.
@MattG4515258 · Camped on Nov 10, 2025 at Campsite #27
Camp hosts were amazing.
@RachelleDE07E7 · Camped on Nov 2, 2025 at Campsite #36
I really enjoy campground. If you have solar I highly suggest you book a spot that has a good clearing. The camp hosts have all been wonderful. The only thing I would recommend improvement on is cutting back the low hanging branches that scrape the top of RVs on the roads around site 26.
@NathanR2469741 · Camped on Oct 27, 2025 at Campsite #35
This is a great location in southern Big Sur. During my stay hwy 1 was closed a few miles north of the campground so there was very little traffic which made it quiet and delightful. Great access to the beach and bluff trails. I found the camp host to be very friendly and helpful and all other campers were quiet and respectful. I would definitely go back before the highway opens up.
@DougC2292861 · Camped on Oct 26, 2025 at Campsite #20
Site was beautiful and camp hosts were awesome
@kianmEB331F023 · Camped on Oct 24, 2025 at Campsite #32
So much fun! Host was super kind and helpful and the bathroom on sight were clean.
@RobertS9225788 · Camped on Oct 20, 2025 at Campsite #32
My firewood and hatchet got stole the first day when I was out. People suggested Iinform the camp host. She had a notion who it might be so I asked that person if he actually saw anyone take the wood. He described the car which led me to the campsite where the wood was. The man was very apologetic and returned wood and hatchet. I went to tell the host about the turn around and mentioned that if the host still clipped the names and dates on each camp site post, maybe this wouldnt have happened. She immediately got angry and said I was wasting her time off (7:15 in the evening). The next day I left a note that I would return to my reserved campsite that night. When I returned, the note was gone and so was the wood. I always thought a host was available at all times.Evidently not! BTW, the outhouses were sparkling
@CarissaP235152 · Camped on Oct 19, 2025 at Campsite #43
Beautiful site and friendly host. Our favorite part was a hike in Limekiln Park just north of the campground and was recommended to us by the host. We should have been better prepared for the fog and mist though! Everything got very wet including our tent and we had to pack it up damp the last day and air it out at our next stop. Beautiful location though.
@MichaelP381919 · Camped on Oct 14, 2025 at Campsite #12
Camp Site 12 was excellent.
@JeffP3506157 · Camped on Oct 8, 2025 at Campsite #24
A delightful retreat situated immediately off the PCH but quiet and peaceful thanks to the reduced traffic this year. A distinct slope means that just about all of the sites offer a challenge for tent campers to find a level area but this is Big Sur and the slope is part of the fun.Portable toilets have replaced the permanent washrooms, they are cleaned daily and serviced weekly so no complaints but it would be nice to see the proper facilities brought back into operation. Our hosts were friendly and helpful when "on duty" , firewood is available and campfires permitted. There are always walk-in / cycle-in sites available despite the "camp full" signs that adorn the gates.
@ShaneW6131406 · Camped on Oct 5, 2025 at Campsite #39
It's a nice campground in a beautiful location on the California Central Coast. The only draw back is the limited amount of flat tent spaces.
@AllenD6393567 · Camped on Oct 2, 2025 at Campsite #12
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.
@RichardW654682 · Camped on Sep 29, 2025 at Campsite #32
Love the site. Portojohns were disgusting.
@JorgF298E2BAE9 · Camped on Sep 25, 2025 at Campsite #17
Always liked this campground. Nice spacing between sites. Nice location. Host was kind of strange though.
@DougO8727554 · Camped on Sep 22, 2025 at Campsite #10
We stayed at campsite 10, which was elevated and at the corner, so we didnt have other campers right on top of us. The camp hosts, Katie and James, were 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.
@joonsukkBFA5D3 · Camped on Sep 14, 2025 at Campsite #18
Very nice camping ground with very nice host, they care and keep clean.
@LaurelW849C34D · Camped on Sep 14, 2025 at Campsite #29
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!

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
