Really enjoyed our stay at this campgrounds. The campsites were well maintained and clean. Park hosts were very friendly. The entire campgrounds were well kept and very nice. Will definitely be camping there again.

when it's wet and rainy, this place is kinda miserable. But it's close to Columbus Air Force base if needing.

Decent park, nothing to write home about though. If it wasn't for some full-hookups, I don't think we would stop here. The Airforce Base was nice to stock up on at the commissary.

Spent two nights on site 100 and really enjoyed our stay. There were only a few other campers so we had our little end of the campground to ourselves. The sites are in great shape and the restrooms are very clean. We will definitely be back.

plenty of walking trails and open spaces for our fur babies, most of the full hookup sites are spaced out but a lot of trees have old limbs that drop a lot of times

Nice campground if not raining. We got used to the barges and the planes from the base. The sites are spread apart enough for some privacy.

Nice clean COE Campground
We stopped at this COE campground on our way back to Memphis from the Alabama coast and spent the night. We had originally reserved a pull-through site (#66) but there was a camper in that site that had issues and could not move so they moved us to another site (#13). This was a back-in site, but it was pretty level and worked out just fine. The ranger on duty when we arrived even paid the $2 fee for changing sites due to it not being our problem.
The sites are spaced well and are fairly level. There are concrete hiking trails close by that weave around the edge of the Tenn-Tom backwater. We really enjoyed walking around those trails. There is a lot of wildlife around (geese, cranes, deer, squirrels, raccoons, opossums, etc.).
The rangers were all very friendly and easy to work with if there was an issue. The roads are in good shape and all the sites are fairly easy to put a camper in.
We were there in late December so insects were not an issue but I can imagine in the spring, summer and early fall, they could be challenging.
NOTE: If you are using GPS, be aware that some systems might try to take you through West Point, MS and on Barton Ferry Rd. Be aware, Barton Ferry Rd does NOT cross the river so you cannot access the COE site from that road on the west side of the river. You must cross over the river on Hwy 50 from West Point and access Dewayne Hayes from there.
We would stay here again.

Nice park, good accommodations. Nice, clean restrooms and showers. Good, paved roads and concrete pads. I have a son in a wheelchair and should have reserved a handicapped site. The gravel surface around the picnic table and BBQ pit and fire pit does not work well with a wheelchair. Checked in after hours and there were no Late Check-in Instructions or maps at the office. Had to find my site on my own. Had I not had my registration documents, I would have not known which site to get on. Camp host did come by after I was on the site and setting up. Over-all a very good park and I had a good, peaceful experience in a beautiful setting.

The facilities were great! Spacious sites, with parking! Friendly staff!
Only negatives observed: lack of signage from main roads & main road in is narrow, no shoulders (would hate to meet a big rig or bigger camper on those roads).
