We enjoyed our stay. It was late October and we had site 91. No shade, but perfect for this time of year. Right on the Tom Bigbee waterway. Beautiful. We enjoyed watching the boats and barges go by. The barges are nearly silent. Only a few minutes from the Air Force Base, so a very nice option if you are there to visit. Most of the campground was wooded/shaded. Nice , wide, level sites. Some very long ones. Will stay again on our next visit.

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.
