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.

This is an equine campground. Unfortunately, there were several sites that were taken by non-equine campers. ATV campers and even hunters were camped in this horse campground.

The park conditions are declining greatly, one of the men’s bathrooms has been out of order for six months. After viewing a personnel who was responsible for cleaning the bathrooms which was clear he did not clean any of them only spending two seconds in each one of them. Our stay was every other weekend, each time we had to clean the horses area. It was really bad. The horses area ground is much lower than the surrounding area so it holds water bad when it rains. There are a lot of regular campers and ATV campers do horse campers can’t get in.
