Park itself is great. Lots of space and level pads for set up. I give it 2 stars because of the lack of a park host presence. Speed limit of 10 mph was not enforced. Cars easily doing 30 through the park and at one point passed a park host on their cart with nothing said. Quiet hour not enforced. Been better park host presence in our past visits.

This campground was wonderful! From checking in with Steve at the front to fires in our campsite each night, everything was wonderful. The sites were well maintained and spacious, and the view of the river was beautiful! There were many paved walking trails throughout the site that were wonderful to enjoy with our family. We will definitely be back!

We wanted a nice getaway on our way to be with family for Thanksgiving. What a gem!!! We only had one night so it made it easier to get a prime campsite on the waterway.
I called the office and a young man suggested which site to take from what was available. Not only was the site perfect, the entire campground was one of the best we’ve had. Plenty of space between campers, a nice mix of trees and walking paths, and wonderful waterway views. I enjoyed hearing the sound of the barges that night and then got to see one the next day.
My husband was familiar with the nearby charming town of West Point so we were able to take a late afternoon cruise of the beautiful old homes and then had a wonderful early dinner in town.
The grounds were tidy and both the staff and other campers were friendly.
Couldn’t ask for a better camping experience!

Camp hosts Marty and Steve were outstanding. Condition of the park and surrounding areas were well kept. Site was well kept, hookups, including sewer, we're easily accessible. Showers and toilets were clean and in good working order. Playground equipment was well maintained, and trails were nice. We felt safe and welcome. Definitely will return to Dewayne Hayes.
