What Guests Are Saying
Canebrake Horse Camp is praised for its cleanliness, polite camp host, and well-maintained campsites, making it a favorite for horse campers. Many enjoy the central location to trails and appreciate the quiet atmosphere. However, there are concerns about non-horse campers occupying sites, declining maintenance, and the need for more attentive camp hosting. Overall, it remains a beloved spot for equestrian camping despite some areas needing improvement.

This is one of favorite places to horse camp. However this camp is in a slow decline. The website states that you have to have a horse to stay in this campground. But there's always regular rvs in the campground with no horses. Camp host Joe is hardly there at all ! This cam brown has had much better hosts in the past ! Please bring it back to its former glory !!!

We always enjoy Canebrake Hitsr Camp ! We do not like that they let non horse people camp there ! This is the only horse camp that people with horses can camp at so why do they let anyone camp there with no horses ???

I've been coming to Canebrake with horses for many years. I enjoy it immensely. I think the BCH have really done a good job marking the trail system. Much appreciated.

Campsite was well maintained. However, there were no wheelbarrows available for use for cleaning, and I looked from saturday afternoon through sunday morning. I think other campers took them and kept them.
The site I had required me to run up over the hill to get far enough over to be able to back in. I did not expect a rig 15ft shorter than the max length would have issues backing into the space provided. I will choose a different site next time.
I did not look at the shower or bathroom facilities, but heard no complaints from my friends.
Nice flat sites. Horse area prepped with gravel to prevent mud. My horse would not lay down or roll on the surface, so not ideal, but I understand why it is that way.
Overall, this is quieter than the primitive camp and cheaper than 4B. I would stay here again.

Throughout the year the Uwharrie National Forest performs prescribed burns. Some of these burns will be next to and around this recreation facility and may cause smokey conditions during the actual burning and for the days following the burns. Sometimes we do not make a decision until the very morning that we will be able to do the burn due to weather and staffing. If you have questions about the prescribed burning possibility please call the Uwharrie National Forest Ranger District office at 910-576-6391 for updated information. |
