Reservations

Campsite reservations are accepted at this park.

All campsite reservations must be made the BC Parks reservations system. When reservations are not available all campsites function as first come, first served.

 

Vehicle-accessible camping

This small park offers 41 vehicle-accessible campsites, seven of which are double sites. Campsite reservations are accepted for all sites. Reservations are strongly recommended for all weekend from May through September and any dates in July and August. If a site is not reserved for that evening, a green “available for one night” sign will be placed on that site indicating that it is available that night. The maximum length of stay is seven days due to the size and popularity of the campground. Access to the boat launch remains open year-round.

The sites are large with level gravel pads, picnic tables and fire rings. The many of the sites can accommodate larger 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 in the campground near site #10.

Check-in procedures:

  • Guests with reservations: check reservation board at campground entrance for pre-assigned site number.
  • Guests without reservations: check the reservation board for sites that may be available on a first come, first served basis or for one night only. 
    Special note: during peak season, reservations are highly recommended as first come, first served sites are available on a minimal basis only.

Boat launch

There is a single launch with a concrete ramp. The parking lot beside the boat launch is for vehicles with trailers only. There is a flush toilet at the boat launch.

Boaters should be aware of the narrow channel at end of Haynes Point, so stay between yellow markers. Boats must stay out of marked swimming areas. There are marinas in Osoyoos for private boat rentals.

Check with US Customs prior to going to the USA on Osoyoos Lake. 

Campfires

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.

Picnic areas

This park has a day-use and picnic area. A narrow, shaded terrace with tables overlooks the sandy beach and north to Osoyoos. Cottonwoods separate the tables from the beach. There is plenty of paved parking and two small wooden change houses just off the narrow beach.

Pit or flush toilets

This park only has flush toilets, no pit toilets.
