We have camped at Dwayne Hayes for a number of years. Until this year it has been a wonderful experience with a well-maintained, safe, and beautiful campground. However, this year things changed. There are no park host on duty at the front gate and no host patrolling the campground. Cars were speeding throughout the campground…other campers with small children were worried about their kids getting hit. A tent set up on the campsite next to my full hook up site with a large dog staked out behind it that barked the entire time. The thing that worried me the most was, I just did not feel safe as I once did because anyone can just come into the campground as there are no host on duty at the front gate house to monitor who comes inside the campground.

Dewayne Hayes is our go to campground. The campground and facilities are well kept and always clean. They have beautiful walking trails, several playgrounds for the kids and picnic spots by the water (in day use area).

It was awesome we love coming to Dewayne Hayes. We come a lot and spend a week or two at a time. I only have 1 improvement that it really needs. I wish they were at least on the main road coming into and through the campsite, I think it needs to be full hookups. Please consider that.

Very quiet campsites. Plenty of room on each site. Close to a Walmart if you forget anything. On return it would be nice to have some of the trees along the bank like sites 73 and 74 so trimmed of foliage so you could see water
