We tented at the Haynes Point Provincial Park in October last year, and thought it would be a wonderful place to stay in the summer. It is located on a narrow spit of land that extends out into the lake, so all the sites are on the water, and all are well treed - good visual privacy from adjacent sites. (There were some sites set up for two or three units camping together though.) It does have fire pits and flush toilets, however, no showers. It's a very short drive to downtown Osoyoos. Someone recently wrote, in another thread, that it is very popular in summer and difficult to get a site. I don't know if they take reservations.

Haynes Point is a wonderful campground. They do take reservations. You can book 3 months in advance: https://secure.camis.com/Discovercamping/ Reservations go quickly so book exactly 3 months before you plan to arrive and first thing that morning.

Haynes park looks quite nice as well, do you have any suggestion on which side of the point is best to stay on (i.e. North, East or South)? I've heard it can be quite windy here as well, has anybody else heard or experienced this?

I can't help you with that but you likely will have to be happy with what you can get.

Hanes Pt can be very very windy.

I didn't know they had flush toilets! I haven't camped there, I just walk the strip when I vacation in Osoyoos. Where in the campground are they? I don't think there are showers either.

Another site is NK'Mip campsite. They have showers (costs a loonie) and toilets. No fire pits. I wouldn't pick a property based on fire pits. I expect a fire ban to be in place very early this season.

Here is a link to a map of Haynes Point campground …gov.bc.ca/bcparks/…haynes.pdf - the toilets closest to the end of the point (the ones that show wheelchair access) are flush toilets. I don't know about the others but I assume so. We camped in site #20 and were visited each morning by flocks of California quail.

On the park's site: …gov.bc.ca/bcparks/…Location , I found this info: "The campground has flush and pit toilets. Two flush toilets located at the day-use area."

By the way, firewood costs an extra $7 per bundle, over and above the nightly camping fee of $30.

That explains it! The campsites that face south get the morning/early afternoon sun, and the campsites facing north get the afternoon sun, if that helps! The wind changes, often it is a warm wind from the south in the summer. They also get north-west winds.

We just drove through the NK'MIP resort grounds and had a look at the hotel and camping spot. This place looks great. Camping on the lake and then walk up to the winery (and maybe even have a swim in their pool?). On the edge of the pocket desert I used to camp on as a kid. Haynes Point is also good but windy, as mentioned. I'd go for NK'MIP myself!
