Discovery Island Marine Park has one designated camping area that offers open field camping. No facilities are provided other than a pit toilet. Fees apply for overnight camping and are payable at self registration vaults, located at the information shelter. The camping area is located just southwest of Pandora Hill. There is a camping fee and services provided year-round. The park is accessible from Victoria, where paddlers can launch from Cattle Point, just north of the Oak Bay Marina. Kayakers paddling between Oak Bay and Discovery Island will be delighted by the wildlife along this route, which features a sensitive seabird nesting area and ecological reserve. Sightings of seals, sea lions, otters and bald eagles are common around the park.
