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.

@DennisD6330886 · Camped on May 23, 2024 at Campsite #1

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.

@billys6484028 · Camped on Apr 21, 2024 at Campsite #12

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.

@JoelA4EBDDD40A · Camped on Apr 18, 2024 at Campsite #21

Camp host at canebrake horse camp is very helpful and knowledgeable about the trails.

@SondraR89DA069 · Camped on Apr 5, 2024 at Campsite #28

Always clean and easy sites.

@WilliamR509139 · Camped on Apr 4, 2024 at Campsite #15

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

@DavidB5075483 · Camped on Apr 4, 2024 at Campsite #11

Campgrounds are in rough shape.Tie line poles down at our site.Site is lacking attention.Hay and manure from previous rental.Bath house was good,Just a lot of cobwebs.

@KevinS8513228 · Camped on Mar 29, 2024 at Campsite #5

Camp host was very friendly. Sites were clean.

@kenp1414092 · Camped on Mar 28, 2024 at Campsite #7

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.

@MelissaS832578 · Camped on Mar 15, 2024 at Campsite #10

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

@VanessaH932810 · Camped on Mar 12, 2024 at Campsite #7

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.

@ChristaW5D5161 · Camped on Feb 14, 2024 at Campsite #23

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.......................

@KatieM6062957 · Camped on Feb 7, 2024 at Campsite #15

Excellent service. Camp hosts were incredible. 10/10 recommend. Trails marked perfectly. Overall, great experience

@JasonG2268691 · Camped on Nov 23, 2023 at Campsite #4

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.

@WilliamR509139 · Camped on Oct 26, 2023 at Campsite #23

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.

@RickyKDCE48D72 · Camped on Oct 13, 2023 at Campsite #4

Is very clean and sites are excellent wish there was water at the sites but still a excellent place to camp and ride with your horses

@RebeccaN872280 · Camped on Oct 13, 2023 at Campsite #15

People not cleaning their pens/sites very well. Dogs running loose.

@RebeccaN872280 · Camped on Sep 22, 2023 at Campsite #6

going downhill. people not cleaning the horse areas. people not keeping dogs on leash

@kenp1414092 · Camped on Jun 29, 2023 at Campsite #17

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

@williams984835 · Camped on May 18, 2023 at Campsite #13

Great location and excellent horse trails.

@JanetS5249327 · Camped on May 5, 2023 at Campsite #1

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.

@kenp1414092 · Camped on Mar 24, 2023 at Campsite #16

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.

@WayneD3160840 · Camped on Feb 6, 2023 at Campsite #17

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.

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
