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.

The bathrooms at the entrance were horrible, no one is cleaning them. We’ve come to this camp several times and have never had this problem before. Hopefully this was a fluke and will not be a problem from here on out.

Been camping here for years. It has its ups and downs, but overall it's my favorite place to stay with my horses.
I do think it needs to be HORSES only as the other campers have no clue how to safely behave around equines. It's a recipe for disaster having non horse campers in this horse campground.

great campground with easy access for the most part
many sites need to be graded to make them more level
men's shower water perfect -----women's too cold

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. Campers must pay electric surcharge at all sites with electric hookups, whether or not they use electricity. There are no water or sewer hookups at this campground. There is a dumpstation for potable water fillup and dumping of gray water.
