Hi Maureen:

No camping in the Flat Tops, unfortunately.

I checked the Carlos I info a few years ago:

Layer: Planning Layer
Site Type: Deleted Site
Coordinates: 49.15923, -123.69687
Land Tenure: Private
Tent Sites: n/a
Landing Comments  Easy on sand beach.

Camp Comments   semi exposed. Grassy area at top of island.

Other Comments Flat Top Islands. View.

BC Parks Fdn bought Saturnina a couple of years back but want no camping – however that could change although i understand that BC Parks do not want to make it a park either, so it likely will end up in some nature conservancy status.
