A flat 2-2.5 kilometre hiking trail leads visitors through a forest of trees to a point on a small peninsula with a beach lookout. From Campbell Point visitors can enjoy sightseeing and wildlife viewing opportunities including seabirds, predator birds, waterfowl and lots of marine activity.

The views from the point reach as far as Saturna Island and Mount Baker on a a clear day. Closer to Mayne Island the views include Campbell Bay and Edith Point on your left and Bennett Bay on your right. Straight ahead the views include Georgeson Island and the Georgia Strait.
