Plaskett Creek Group Campground Permit
Group camping near Sand Dollar Beach.
How to get Plaskett Group
Recreation.gov sells no separate Plaskett Creek group campground. The three group sites — GS1, GS2 and GS3 — are sold as campsites inside the main Plaskett Creek Campground, which has its own page here and which we do watch. A watch on that page covers all forty-six sites in the campground, of which forty-three are ordinary single sites, so it cannot yet tell you that a group site in particular has opened. Booking a group site goes through the Plaskett Creek Campground page on Recreation.gov.
