No flush toilets. No water spigots onsite. Mosquitos present. Very secluded. Only seven spots. Nearby Griffin falls. 10 minute drive to cedar grove market.

Great campground. It's a tad small, but that keeps it from feeling crowded. It's in the National Forrest, so the sites are not as developed as in the National Park, but plenty suitable. We even found a space with a concrete pad for our RV. Sites have tables and fire rings. There also a single pit toilet located there. The campground sits fairly low in Kings Canyon so you are surrounded on all sides by the mountains.

Great campground in the national forest basically in the heart of king's canyon. There are 6 or so sites. We took a 24 ft travel trailer. Getting it there was no problem and there was plenty of room for a bigger trailer. It had a vault toilet but no water. On another note ... People left all kinds of trash behind here, including leaving bags of trash in the vault toilet. We packed a bunch of it out but please, if you camp here please be respectful and pack out all your trash. These free campgrounds are getting rarer and rarer. Trashing them will just make it worse.

It's not the prettiest or best campground but it will do what its supposed to do. No trails leading to anything...no river no creek pretty hot n very small. There is some shade n has fire pits but I guess it does what its supposed to, like set up ur tent sleep,eat n sit around the fire. It us exactly what it says Convict Flat.

They have 5 sites and it's first come first serve. They have bathrooms but no running water. Good little spot for free. You'll need a permit to start a campfire.
