Campground is great quiet and peaceful. We were at site 68 which was a little short for our 36’ fifth wheel and room to park truck but we made it alright. Bath houses were clean and tidy. I did not notice any warning of wildlife but we had raccoons invading our outdoor cooking space so be sure and store your griddle at night. We will be back.

Dewayne Hayes was out of sites with sewer hookups. I think only 5 sites have the hookups. So book early if sewer hookups are a must. I went ahead and rented a campsite. All was good, clean, quiet and I had accessibleity to the waterway. Probabally never happen. But would be nice if more sewer hookups up were added. The Dump was available when I was leaving, so no big problem, Just a small inconvienience.

We had a great experience at Dewayne Hayes. The hosts were very knowledgeable and helpful. Quiet and peaceful area along the river. Clean bathrooms and very well maintained camping spots. Highly recommend this campground!

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.
