Payne Campground

Payne Campground has both primitive and full hookup sites that are laid out in a long “hall” like structure with four circles of cul de sacs. It is a mid sized campground with nice spacious lots and they are well kept.

They have three sites that are double sites that they rent out together for a single price. These double lots are sites numbered 3/4, 15/16, and 24/25.

the old guy running the campground as a contract park attendant is an ass- he is rude and thinks he owns the place, if you're one minute late leaving the campground, NOT just your campsite but the whole campground including the boat ramp or any other facility that you have a right to be at, he follows you around and hassles you to get out. I will be reporting this ding dong to the corps of engineers. He looks like Atom Ant on his little scooter riding around looking for something to whine about

i just went the past weekend and had a pleasant experiance.."the old man" that the guy before me commented about was very sweet and helpful...and very friendly...he went the extra mile to get to know us...I believe it has alot to do with ATTITUDE and how you are when they approach you...you know what time to be in or out so stop bitching and do it..rules shouldnt bend for just one person...if you can READ them

they are just doing their job

The campground hosts of Payne are wonderfully sweet and kind. We camp there at least every three weeks and we love their attitude with the campers.It sounds like the first comment guy is just looking for trouble from anyone,respect for people is always a nice idea to have, but maybe his parents didn't teach him any!They are great hosts and we hope they are back next year. smilies/smiley.gif
