This small park offers 41 vehicle accessible campsites, seven of which are double sites. All campsites are reservable from the May 16 to Sept 1. The maximum length of stay is seven days due to the size and popularity of the campground. The boat launch remains open year round.

The sites are large with level gravel pads, picnic tables and fire rings. The large sites accommodate bigger RVs. Most of the sites are right on the lake, one of the attractions of this park. The landscape is open with sites being separated by pockets of beach and scattered cottonwood and Ponderosa pine trees for shade. The inner campsites and those at the tip of the spit are in thickets of shrubs that offer more privacy and shade and the opportunity for bird watching. The nearest services are in Osoyoos and there is a phone near the entrance to the park beside the boat launch.

There is plenty of paved parking and two small wooden change houses just off the narrow beach. Two well shaded picnic tables are located behind the information kiosk opposite the amphitheatre. The marsh trail is beside this area.

Cold water taps are located throughout the park. Taps are shut off during the off-season.

The campground has flush and pit toilets. Two flush toilets located at the day-use area.

While campfires are allowed and campfire rings are provided at each campsite, we encourage visitors to conserve wood and protect the environment by minimizing the use of fire and using campstoves instead. Firewood can be purchased in the park or you may bring your own wood.Fees for firewood are set locally and may vary from park to park. Limited burning hours or campfire bans may be implemented. To preserve vegetation and ground cover, please don't gather firewood from the area around your campsite or elsewhere in the park (this is a ticketable offence under the Park Act). Dead wood is an important habitat element for many plants and animals and it adds organic matter to the soil.

There is an amphitheatre found on a small hill of antelope brush about 40m inside the park gate. There is very little shade in this area. There are no regularly scheduled interpretive programs at this park.

Haynes Point Park contains a natural marsh rich in birdlife such as canyon wrens, marsh wrens, white-throated swifts and red-winged blackbirds. A gravel trail leaves from the information kiosk across from the amphitheatre and enters the marsh. The wide gravel trail crosses a footbridge that spans a beaver dam isolating the marsh from the lake. It continues through level grassland rimmed by marsh vegetation with interpretive signs along the way explaining the value of marsh ecosystems.

The trail leads to a two-tiered viewing platform that is roughly ten feet tall and provides a commanding view of the marsh. It is a wonderful spot for viewing the variety of red and blue listed species that are a feature of the park as well as other birds in the area. The platform is eight feet by eight feet with a railing enclosed by plastic link fence for safety. There are two benches underneath the platform.

The trail continues on to 80m of boardwalk and two more ground level viewing platforms with more educational signs. For your own safety and the preservation of the park, obey posted signs and keep to designated trails. Shortcutting trails destroys plant life and soil structure.

There are no lifeguards on duty at provincial parks. Surrounded by warm water and sandy/gravel beaches, this park is excellent for swimming and other water oriented activities. There is also a pet beach designated for pooches.
