Beautiful campground with lots of amenities. Host were very nice and keep the campground clean and running smoothly. AT&T phone service was good and was able to pick up a good many over the air tv stations. Definitely one of our favorite places to camp.

We love the riverfront sites, especially being able to see the barges. I think we’ve seen deer (and squirrels) every time we’ve camped here. Hosts are always friendly and helpful.

I had a very enjoyable 2 week stay. All of the attendants and hosts were wonderful! I ended up switching sites with their help so I could watch the barges. Site 3 is wonderful with a very nice view of the river, but moved to 76 so I could see the barges but still have full hookups. There is a very nice paved trail that meandered by the slough. Shower houses were very clean. And close enough for a very short drive into town for replenishing supplies. Sunsets were beautiful. I would definitely recommend and stay here again.

Always enjoy Dewayne Hayes. The cleaning service keeps the bathrooms clean. The volunteers are pleasant and work to have the sites ready for the next guest. Fun to watch the barges coming down the river.

Beautiful campground. Plenty of deer and geese. No cell or internet. Stayed a week. Too long for no services. 2-3 days tops

Dewayne Hayes State Park is one of the cleanest parks I've been to. I always look around to see if there is anything that needs to be picked up before I leave. There was absolutely nothing that needed attended to. The restrooms were clean, the showers were hot. It was nice and quiet except for the occasional barge that passed by on the river (which was a fun thing!). It was around Halloween and one of the park hosts had decorated their site with a lot adorable Halloween blow ups. The people at the front gate were friendly. When I left there were a group of people attending to some trees that needed trimming. I hope I get to visit again sometime.

Excellent experience. Hosts were nice, friendly, and very helpful. then showers need some work, but ok. The campground was clean as a whistle. will recommend this campground. Only problem came with it shutting down for govt shutting down so we hadn to leave 3 days early. Not their fault, so wasn't a negative on them.
