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.

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.

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.

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.

Need a permanent camp host in this campground to facilitate maintenance and adherence to rules and regulations.

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.
- Rates do not reflect pass discounts. Single Sites = $27/night; Double Sites = $54/night.
- 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. No discount on double sites. No discount off of electrical surcharge. Electrical hookup surcharges are not discounted. With pass, the total fee with discounts: Single Site $10 campsite fee + $7 surcharge = $17.

There is a dumpstation for potable water fillup and dumping of gray water.
