Just spent one night on our way to Florida. Just a couple of miles off 45. Clean and very quiet park during our stay.

We always love DeWayne Hayes park . The staff at check in were really nice. The park is always clean as are the bathhouses . The advantage to fall and winter camping you have a better view of the river from spots that usually are to thick with brush and trees to see . There’s good restaurants within about a 15 min drive . Hanks bar-b-q and Profitt’s porch are a couple . One thing we did notice was with a 5 day stay we only saw a park host in a golf cart once riding around . My wife noticed it first saying that before anytime we stayed there we would see the host many times a day riding around and talking to campers . It kind of made her feel a little safer seeing them riding around . Not that there’s any trouble but it’s what she noticed and felt .

Stayed 8 days and enjoyed every one of them! Bath house was always clean and staff was friendly. A group of us have been staying the Thanksgiving week at Lake Lowndes, but no more. This experience was much better and the sites are better maintained. Thanks so much!

We have always enjoyed our annual stay at this beautiful park. Watching the waterway is very nice.
On the other hand, this year one of the male campground hosts was quite rude and unwelcoming.

Even though we only stayed overnight I was very happy with the campground and its amenities. I will definitely add Dwayne Hayes to our future campground plans.

We have used this park several times (Close to AFB where our Grandson is stationed), always a great stay. The park & facilities are clean and maintained. Staff are always pleasant and super helpful.
Plenty of places to eat & Shop, many attractions to visit in the surrounding communities.

Always enjoy this park. Nice long sites, room to park 2 vehicles. Late fall it's also nice & quiet. Not too fat into town. Firewood & propane available at Tractor Supply, WalMArt & Kroger not too far and loads of restaurants within 10 - 15 mi.
