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 contained my horse using electric tape and the horse stood on shiny black mats. I used all the shavings in my trailer to put on the mat because when it got wet, it got slippery. When I come back I'll bring bagged shavings. Other than the mats, my experience was outstanding.

Love staying at Canebrake except when there are campers there with children on bikes that do not have horses. They have no idea how horses may react to them riding their bikes. Otherwise a great place to stay.

The campground was really nice, clean and had a great setup. Each site had poles to high line the horses with compacted footing so it wouldn’t get muddy, nice picnic tables and fire rings. Had wheel barrows and a pit to dump manure and a great wash station to rinse the horses. Couldn’t have asked for any better. Looking forward to staying again!

Such a beautiful and serene place. The RV sites are easily accessible. Bathroom facilities were very clean. The park itself is majestic. We can’t wait to return.

Should be able to stay on site when you pull in and it’s not reserved. Someone can go on line and you have to leave. Host should let you know it’s occupied for however days paid for.

Wheelbarrows were broken. No camp host to enforce reservations. Someone took someone else’s site and no one there to work it out. I dread when ATVs are welcomed there. Horses and ATVs do not mix well. A true recipe for a disaster and a law suit.
