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.

This was my first visit to Canebrake Horse Camp. The camp host very helpful and informative as to the amenities available. Every site was clean, grass was mowed and site components, Fire pit, grill, Picnic table in excellent condition, etc outstanding. It was quite and the other guests were very pleasant to meet and associate with. The restrooms and showers were clean and sanitary and adequately stocked. I was surprised there were no spider webs anywhere in or around the restroom/shower facilities. I enjoyed my stay so much I have already scheduled and reserved another site for my November 17 - 26 visit. I have recommended the Canebrake Horse Camp to two dear friends and are planning a December or January stay. I just couldn't be more pleased with a facility than I me with the Canebrake Horse Camp.

The horseback riding on the Uwharrie National Forest is excellent. The Canebrake Horse Camp is good. I'd visit again. Campsites have picnic tables, fire rings and high line posts for horses (bring your own high line, portable corral or hot fence). Water is available in different areas throughout the camp, so fill your tanks when you get there, and electric is available at each site. The bathrooms have flush toilets and push button showers where you CAN NOT control the pressure or temperature. During the summer it was like a sauna in the shower. Many people come to use the showers, water and dumpster or just cruise through the campground day and night giving the place a creepy feeling. Thankfully there was a Camp Host when I visited. I wouldn't stay if there wasn't a host.

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.

Policies & Rules
General
- 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.
- Rates do not reflect pass discounts. Single Sites = $27/night; Double Sites = $54/night.
