Dewayne Hayes Campground is on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, on Columbus Lake in Mississippi, with convenient access to the water for fishing, boating or a day of sightseeing along the banks of the river. The recreation area was named in 1986 for Pfc. Loyd DeWayne Hayes, a member of the 145th Engineering Battalion of the Alabama National Guard. With playgrounds, hiking trails, multi-use courts, picnic areas and educational programs, families have no shortage of activities. Anglers can fish from the shore for bass, walleye, crappie, catfish and sunfish, and hunters can seek out a diverse range of high quality habitats for upland game and waterfowl along the Tenn-Tom lands. The campground features 110 campsites: 100 standard sites with electric and water hookups and 10 tent-only primitive walk-in sites. It is partially shaded, and sites have picnic tables, fire rings with grills, pedestal grills and lantern posts. There are hot showers and a fish cleaning station. The Tenn-Tom, as the waterway is known, extends 234 miles from the Tennessee River to the junction of the Tombigbee River in Alabama, connecting the nation's midsection of commercial water transportation with the Gulf of Mexico. Columbus, Mississippi is right next door and offers antique stores, historic sights and other services.
