Haddonfield is a two-level station. Ticketing and fare control are located on the upper level, which is at street level. Tickets are bought from vending machines and there is a ticket counter which is open during peak times. This level also features benches and a display case.

After passing through the fare control area, passengers go down to the lower level platform by stair or elevator. The escalator only goes up. The island platform is located in a large concrete trench below street level. Besides the two tracks for PATCO, a third track runs through the station, but is not accessible from the platform. This track is mainly for New Jersey Transit's Atlantic City Line. About a half mile in both directions, the tracks emerge back to at grade.

Haddonfield also serves as a park and ride station.
