About Canebrake Horse Camp

Canebrake Horse Camp lies in the Badin Lake Recreation Area, a hub for outdoor activities in central North Carolina's Uwharrie National Forest. The facility is a scenic and restful overnight spot with both single and double campsites. Canebrake Horse Camp is specifically designed for campers traveling with horses and offers numerous amenities for equestrian camping. If your visit to the Uwharrie National Forest includes camping without horses, please consider one of our other campgrounds: Arrowhead Campground, Badin Lake Campground or Badin Lake Group Camp.    Campers will delight in nearly 40 miles of forested horseback riding trails, as well as hiking, mountain biking, off-road vehicle riding, swimming, fishing and boating opportunities in the area. The campground is open year-round.

Number of accommodations: 26

What Guests Are Saying

Canebrake Horse Camp is praised for its cleanliness, polite camp host, and well-maintained campsites, making it a favorite for horse campers. Many enjoy the central location to trails and appreciate the quiet atmosphere. However, there are concerns about non-horse campers occupying sites, declining maintenance, and the need for more attentive camp hosting. Overall, it remains a beloved spot for equestrian camping despite some areas needing improvement.

This weekend the campground was full but there was no host there. I think in the future on a busy weekend there needs to be someone there to look after things. Pushing up manure pits patrol dogs off of leashes etc.

Trails were great- cleared and well marked. Map was helpful and accurate. Biggest issue was lack of highlines bc I called with some questions and the lady specifically told me there were posts for highlines and cables to tie horse to. Had to go to tractor supply and spent $200 on high line equipment. Bathroom couldve been cleaned more often. Water wasnt turned on at dump station even though we were told dump station was open.

This is a great place to camp with your horses & many trails to rides, but the fact that non horse campers can take up our space & limit us on when we can come is not fair unless you are going to let us camp with our horses in the other campgrounds.

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.
