Dwayne Haynes is my favorite campground so far. Lot 24 was close to the bathhouse and the fishing dock. Very family-friendly and everyone we interacted with were kind and cared for the children at the camp. The bathrooms were clean. Next time we come, we plan to stay at one of the lots 10 to 15, since these were the lots on the shore line and directly across from the bathrooms.

The campground is extremely clean and quiet. The restrooms were very well maintained. The spot I was in 64 was a great location. Each site has a picnic table grill and a hook to hang various things. Mine was a level site and there was plenty of room for my family to sit and enjoy outside. The only thing you need to be aware of is that t h e park locks the entrance gate each night from 10 pm to 8 am.

Very peaceful campground with friendly staff. Maintained nicely with the bonus of views of the river and boats. We were able to ride our bikes 4 miles within the campground and the day use area. This was our third stay and we plan to return.

We enjoyed getting to see several Bald Eagles and a lot of yachts and a few barges travelling the waterway. The weather was perfect except for the burn band, I couldn't build a fire. The attendants were very nice and helpful.
