Park Hosts were very friendly and helpful. Sites were well maintained. If you go back to town to eat out, MUGSHOTS Restaurant was an outstanding place to eat.

DeWayne Hayes COE is a very nice campground which we will make a return visit to. Most sights are shady and mostly flat. Sites with sewer connections are located closer to the entrance. Very nice long concrete paved hiking trail with a very nice deck to view a slough with many cypress trees and a variety of birds. We actually kayaked to this slough by putting in at the boat landing and paddling down the river. It was a long haul but very much worth it. Many of the river-side campsites have over growth along the river which makes it difficult to see the river. If these sights were cleaned up along the river they would be excellent!! There are some sits where visibility is better. There are two dump areas at the dump station which greatly helps the wait time. Camp hosts drove through the camp numerous times. Take caution when driving on the last nicely paved road to the campground. It is very narrow with no pullover area. Enjoy! We did.

Very clean campground. Hosts were very nice. They keep the sites very clean. We were there on Memorial weekend and it was packed, but nice and quiet. We will definitely be back!

Nice park but could use a few improvements like the wood replaced on picnic tables, roads redone, and under growth removed to allow better views of river. Overall the park is clean and convenient to town.

Nice, clean and well maintained park. We love camping here. One recommendation is to get the washer and dryers back open. When you have an extended stay it would be nice to have the ability to wash clothes like other campgrounds.
