It was great to see the camp full of horses and no no horse people at all! It’s very hard for us horse people to get reservations when the non horse people are taking up our sites! If you’re going to continue to allow this then we should be able to stay in the non horse camping area!!!!!

Some horse tie out areas could use more ground cover material. The campground could also use some better maintenance such as weeds sprayed mowing etc.

I’ve been going to Canebrake for many years. In the past couple of years it is changing and not for the better. There are more and more non horse people being able to camp in the only horse camp in Uwharrie National Forest. In the last couple of trips in May there were ATV/ UTV and tents in our horse camp. People who don’t KNOW about horses, their behavior, and dislikes is not a good mix. Especially for our horses. I had to clean my horse area of old hay and manure for the most part. There has not been a camp host to over see the sites. I love camping and riding here really really would be sad for the “horse” people to lose our only camp sites. Your attention on these matters would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

The lights outside the bath house were not on. On lot 10, one of the tie posts was very loose. The area where the horses stand needs attention, and the manure pits had not been emptied.

Great facility for equine. Unfortunately, the park allows all campers in this campground. It is an equine site, however you will be camping with ATVs.
