Plaskett Creek sits among cypress and pines on the inland side of the highway, with a trail under the road to Sand Dollar Beach. Jade Cove and the Big Sur coast road are a short drive either way. Sites are well spaced and it suits vans and rigs up to roughly 24-30 ft, so larger trailers will struggle.
