The campground, although needing some updating, is very nice. Being next to the TenTom waterway makes it fun seeing the barges going up and down as well as many other watercraft.

Nice view of the river watching all the boat and barge traffic traveling the river. Check out the dam and how the locks operate is a must see!

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.
