The lights outside the bath house were not on. On lot 10, one of the tie posts was very loose. The area where the horses stand needs attention, and the manure pits had not been emptied.

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.

We love this location all the trail rides are beautiful, the ride along Badin Lake is amazing. The only down fall I wish there was water hook ups along with the electric.

We stayed at site 10 and the amenities were close by. Relatively quiet area as most horse people are. The only issue we had were some campers from the OHV trails staying in Canebrake as opposed to staying in another area, freeing up some sites for other horse people since we have a very limited number of sites for horses.

I know a lot of people love to ride Uwharrie. It is incredibly beautiful, especially the “Big Rocks.” They didn’t hum and send me to 1721.
Some trails are magnificent. But many of the trails we rode on, I NEVER want to do again. The narrow, steep, slippery ravines with sucking mucky bottom footing and the steep, curvy, narrow, slick and muddy root-strewn entrances and exits to the creek ravines were far more than I ever want to put my horse (or me) through again. My horse fell to his knees trying to get out of one of those chutes. These crossings were on the River Trail, trail listed as “moderate!” Nope.
That issue, coupled with the lack of blazes on several trails and several complete misalignment with the official Forest Service map, at some of the most critical trail intersections—4-way, 5-way, and 6-way—is a huge problem. Our guesses put us in some precarious situations, one that put us on the ATV trail for a few miles. I feared for our lives.
This is my second year at Uwharrie. Last year the heavy rains prevented us from riding some of the more treacherous trails. This year, We found perfect weather, coupled with a very dry spring, but still we ran into lots of yukky bogs.
I now have ridden about 90% of the Uwharrie trails. I am an advanced rider, but I will not come back.
What a wonderful, beautiful, quiet campground is Canebrake. Level, roomy, shaded sites, rubber mats in horse areas, picnic tables, fire pits, great horse wash station, horse water and people water spigots scattered around, clean restrooms and showers (but I use my own) and a very congenial camp host. Mid-week, virtually empty. Probably crazy on weekends.
I will be happy to provide more information. Thanks fir the opportunity to comment.

We enjoyed our stay; however, our campsite was very muddy and needed additional gravel added in area of fire ring. Bathhouse very clean and heat lamps really nice when taking showers. There was no internet or phone service access at campsite either. My husband did find out later in week that he could pick up internet parked at outpost toward Denton on our sprint mobile WIFI modem, but I had to drive into the towns (either Troy or Denton) before T MOBILE connectivity would happen for 5G phone.
