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.

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.

Great horse trails and campground. Some trails are fairly easy but some are steep. Make sure you stop at the big rocks off of trail 706. Pay attention to trail marker colors to keep track of where you are at. I recommend using a mapping app such as Ramblr.

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.

- 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.
