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.

Canebrake is great as a horse camp. Love the host, tie out spots and shower houses. Very close to home and a great spot to take the horses for a quick weekend get away. Will continue to come there and camp with my horses.

I visit URE/Cane Brake 4 to 6 times per year for the last 10 years. The sites have improved in quality and cleanliness and the facilities are very good.

Me and my horse riding group usually ride three to four times a year up there and we always rent from the same camp we enjoy it I usually have a good time

My days were spent horseback riding all day, and then coming back to camp for a wonderful meal and to sit around the campfire with friends - old friends and new friends.

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.
- For Access or Senior Access Pass card holders, discounts only apply on the campsite fee on single sites. A person with an Access or Senior Access Pass can only get a discount on the actual campsite they are camping in. The pass holder cannot get discounts on multiple sites for the same dates. No discount on double sites. No discount off of electrical surcharge. Electrical hookup surcharges are not discounted. With pass, the total fee with discounts: Single Site $10 campsite fee + $7 surcharge = $17.
