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.

Great location. Having electric is nice. Shocked no water at sites. Clean out area was nice. Volunteer at campground was very helpful and friendly. Only suggestion I have is to make more camp sites like this. Several horse trailers in overflow lot. I think more there than in the campsite. Also, the Jeep/4wd people could use sites with water and electric. Please build more. If packed at Thanksgiving I can only imagen the summertime.

When we arrived at our campsite, the previous campers had just pulled out and dumped both holding tanks right on the site. This created a muddy mess with a really strong urine smell. Very unsanitary! Also, the horse campers on the next site tied one of their horses to a tree for 3 days who chewed the bark off the tree. The camp host was made aware of both of these problems. There were not enough wheelbarrows available to cleanup the horse areas. There was a non horse camper taking up a horse campsite while horse campers had to park in the overflow area. There needs to be better oversight to enforce the rules.

Nice place to stay. The horse people need more wheel barrows to clean up their site with.

Be aware that this horse camp is not exclusive. Unfortunately side by sides and other ATV owners are now staying in the horse camp.
Be aware that the majority of the time there is not a camp host.
Cell phone service is limited.

This is a horse camp but there were no wheel barrows available.The weekend we were there we had no camp host. The cell phone signal which used to be good has real gotten weak the last few months. We camped with Carolina Mule Association this weekend and they are a great bunch to ride and camp with. Overall it is great place to stay with a little more upkeep and time it could be made better.

We love camping there. We usually camp Monday thru Friday. The campground is extremely quiet. We try to go once a month, weather permitting. Highly recommended.

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.
