Dewayne Hayes is an excellent campground for a quiet getaway. Our site backed up to the waterway. We enjoyed watching the barges. The campground is large and the sites are spacious. Bathhouse was very clean. It would be nice if there were doors on showers rather than curtains. We loved "the sound of freedom" each morning aka planes from Columbus Airforce base training. We will be back.

This is a great off season park for us. We had site 74 and could enjoy watching the barges go up and down the river. Plenty of space between sites. We love the walking path through the woods. The host, Steve, was very helpful and friendly. We very much appreciate the staff maintaining the bath houses and grounds, they are very friendly and do a great job.
The park is close to Columbus which has everything you need from groceries to laundry. Be sure to eat at The Grill, the food is excellent.

Nice campground especially off season when it's not crowded. Some of the best camp hosts and cleaning crew too. It rains a lot here, but when it doesn't it's nice. Close to Columbus AFB (BX & Commissary) and Columbus itself. Only downside barge noise and planes from the base all the time.

Always a well kept facility. Hosts are excellent.
If you love “Airplane Noise”, the Air Force Base next door will meet your needs.

I would like to see more play grounds for the kids . We been going there for years and a lot of the playgrounds was removed. Also, clean out the boat landing inside the camp ground . Dewayne Hayes is an excellent place to camp.
