What Guests Are Saying
Canebrake Horse Camp is praised for its cleanliness, well-maintained facilities, and attentive camp host, creating a pleasant environment for campers and horseback riders. However, there are concerns about non-horse campers using the campground, which detracts from the experience for equestrians. Despite some maintenance issues and a decline in equestrian-only usage, many visitors express a strong desire to return due to the enjoyable horse trails and overall ambiance.

Everything was good except most sites was regular family’s out camping with kiddy pools on there site with no horses. There shouldn’t be any non horse people camping at a horse camp. Also same kids where playing around at the bath house and acting crazy. It’s a horse camp not a family campground. Y'all need to come up with something to confirm people have horses before booking sites.

We didn't care to have to share the campground with NON horse people who rudely kept riding their ATVs and Razors up and down through the camp areas with NO regard for people with horses. Having horrible attitudes and acting as if they owned the place!!

the campground is wonderful and i enjoy staying there with my mules. it would be best if there was a camp host on site all the time. i saw so many cars coming into the campground depositing large bags of trash into the dumpster. the dumpster was stuffed full! They also use the bathhouse and leave it unpleasant.
In addition, there were multiple homeless people using the facility including coming into the campsites and using the electricity to charge their phones and portable electric batteries.

Had a wonderful time. Campers seemed to be a quiet bunch this time which adds to the enjoyment. Unfortunately, it is not always that way.
