Wife and I love this place. It is close enough to town to never miss anything. Columbus Mississippi has about everything you would ever need. The spots on the high numbers have better views of the barge traffic but most are not FHU.
I found an app that let's you look at Barge traffic so you can see when one is close. It's called Marine Traffice. Available on Google Play. Probably on Apple store too.

Dewayne Hays is a great campground with flat level camping spots. The people that work there are great.
We always stop here when we go back and forth to the gulf of America.
