We stayed in site #91. There are only two sites that are "full on" sun and this is one of them. It has a great view of the river. There is one small concrete path "hike" in the park that we saw. Access to the river is done by two boat ramps - not really from any sites. Most of the sites are shaded, large and level. Park is well maintained and bathhouses are clean.

We enjoyed our week long stay. I wish the catfishing would been better, but thats how it is when it's hand grabbing season! But over all it was most enjoyable.

Good place to relax. However the road surface is no longer suitable to ride bikes. Much to uncomfortable for to propagation cracks and possibly root cracks. Roads need complete overhaul before bikes can be again enjoyed by me.

It is a very quiet and peaceful place with great dog walking opportunities. Easy drive into Columbus for supplies

We camp at Dewayne Hayes about 6 times a year. We like it a lot. Except the grass is not cut often enough it was at least halfway up to your knees in some places. They did cut it two days before we left. When we went in Feb. I went to one of the bathhouses and there was a man in the womens bathroom. I reported it to one of the park hosts but all they could tell me was that they would have to let the park rangers know the next day. I felt like they didnt want to be bothered with it. Im sure they would have felt differently if a small child had gone in to the bathroom with a man in there. The park ranger did call my husband at work the next day but never came to talk to me at all and I was at our campsite all day long. Just a very scary situation all the way around.

It is a great park; extremely clean and quiet. If you're looking for a swimming pool, outdoor movies, organized activities, and wifi, this is not your campground. But if you want natural beauty, lots of trees and space between campsites, quiet, and natural beauty alongside a nice river, DeWayne Hayes is definitely your spot.
@CherylA5738741 · Camped on Mar 21, 2025 at Campsite #10
Love Dewayne Hayes! The campground is well maintained, clean, very nice sites and close to Columbus MS.
@EdwardK3626935 · Camped on Mar 19, 2025 at Campsite #12
All was good except the hot water heater in the bathroom and shower didnt work.
@LennyTB4E231AB · Camped on Mar 14, 2025 at Campsite #15
Dewayne Hayes was out of sites with sewer hookups. I think only 5 sites have the hookups. So book early if sewer hookups are a must. I went ahead and rented a campsite. All was good, clean, quiet and I had accessibleity to the waterway. Probabally never happen. But would be nice if more sewer hookups up were added. The Dump was available when I was leaving, so no big problem, Just a small inconvienience.

Campground is great quiet and peaceful. We were at site 68 which was a little short for our 36 fifth wheel and room to park truck but we made it alright. Bath houses were clean and tidy. I did not notice any warning of wildlife but we had raccoons invading our outdoor cooking space so be sure and store your griddle at night. We will be back.
@JamesT8733204 · Camped on Mar 11, 2025 at Campsite #84
We really enjoyed our stay. Very clean and quiet. Will be returning soon

Clean sites and restrooms

We had a great experience at Dewayne Hayes. The hosts were very knowledgeable and helpful. Quiet and peaceful area along the river. Clean bathrooms and very well maintained camping spots. Highly recommend this campground!

Wife and I love this place. It is close enough to town to never miss anything. Columbus Mississippi has about everything you would ever need. The spots on the high numbers have better views of the barge traffic but most are not FHU. I found an app that let's you look at Barge traffic so you can see when one is close. It's called Marine Traffice. Available on Google Play. Probably on Apple store too.

Mike at the office went the extra mile to help us. A wonderful example of southern hospitality. Thank you Sir.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.
@Wondering - Oregon
Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
