Dewayne Hayes is our go to campground. The campground and facilities are well kept and always clean. They have beautiful walking trails, several playgrounds for the kids and picnic spots by the water (in day use area).

It was awesome we love coming to Dewayne Hayes. We come a lot and spend a week or two at a time. I only have 1 improvement that it really needs. I wish they were at least on the main road coming into and through the campsite, I think it needs to be full hookups. Please consider that.

We have camped at Dwayne Hayes for a number of years. Until this year it has been a wonderful experience with a well-maintained, safe, and beautiful campground. However, this year things changed. There are no park host on duty at the front gate and no host patrolling the campground. Cars were speeding throughout the campground…other campers with small children were worried about their kids getting hit. A tent set up on the campsite next to my full hook up site with a large dog staked out behind it that barked the entire time. The thing that worried me the most was, I just did not feel safe as I once did because anyone can just come into the campground as there are no host on duty at the front gate house to monitor who comes inside the campground.

Level sites for almost all that I saw on my walks. Not right on top of one another either.
Campground boat ramp.
Nice paved walking path in the woods and can be stretched out to the day use area.
Close enough to town also. Visited Noubee Wildlife Refuge and Lowndes State Park while there.
