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

Playground — There is a playground area available at the south campground in this park.

Campfires — 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. 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.

Day-use and camping areas — Okanagan Lake South Campground walk-in sites 89-96, Sites 1-81, Okanagan Lake South Campground sites 1-88.
