What a great park. Very large and diverse. We loved the paved path system. We could not believe the infrastructure at the park. This was our 1st stay at a COE campground.
The staff and host staff were very helpful and friendly.
It was cool seeing the boats going down the river and the aircraft flying by from the base during the day. Neither were an issue at night.
We also saw much wildlife at the park while there: several deer, beaver, owl, many birds, and armadillos.
We highly recommend this park and would gladly camp here again. We stayed in January, so the park is pretty quiet and mostly filled with retirees like ourselves during the week. We liked that.

We very much enjoyed our recent visit to Dwayne Hayes COE location. The location is very nice and clean and the shower house was wonderful!

We camped here in December. The camp host was very friendly and helpful. Our site was great. It was level and paved. We especially loved the lighted dock/walkway that was just down from us. We hope to be able to come back and stay longer at some point

You need paid park host . The one at the front is not friendly. We do not feel safe if we have if something happens. It will take so long for a ranger to get there.

Beautiful location and wooded sites. I especially enjoy walking along the river and on the trails. Further, the cost is very reasonable.

Love this campground. This one is huge. It was just a one night stay and the person checking us in was so nice and friendly. Was thankful because we had went to previous campground that had no room and they were rude thankfully we went to this campground and was able to have a safe and quiet night rest after a long drive.
