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.

Very nice facility with electrical hookup. Site 11 is across from bath house, water & manure station making cleanup & disposal very easy. Horse tie out area could use some reworking as poles have been pulled way in & electrical panel box was backed over at some point leaving damage. This is one of my favorite spots to camp. Great riding, well marked trails that are basically easy for any novice. Rocky in certain areas. New trail maps are easy to follow. My one complaint is that the new reworking of the horse trails takes you away from the lake & my favorite waterside trail is now strictly a hiking trail off limits to horses. I can no longer get my horse out into the Basin Lake water. Real bummer. Overall I highly recommend Canebreak. I feel safe & secure when camping here.

Great campground but it could use some weed eating around the tie out posts. Overall great place to stay.

This is a horse camp. However, non-horse campers were allowed to stay who had UTV's and they did ride them around the campground. This should not be allowed in a horse camp. UTV's were being ridden around the horse camp and didn't slow down or stop for horse riders. This should not be allowed.

We love camping at Cane Brake with our horses. The River Trail and Lake Loop are very nice rides.

No camp host.
High tie posts are very loose.
Mats on some sites creating a safety hazard.
In the last two years the place has deteriorated tremendously with no host.

Need a full time camp host on site. Campground was full on the weekend, but no host or Ranger presence.

Same issue as last month. The tie poles are not complete. One is laying on the ground and has been for months.
WE need a consistent and attentive camp host in this campground. There was NO HOST the entire weekend.
