Cane Horse Camp In Louisiana

Cane Camp is located in the Red Dirt National Wildlife Management Preserve located in the Kisatchie Ranger District of the Kisatchie National Forest in Louisiana. Man that was a mouthful lol.

It is run by The U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest service and has a 14 day stay limit. There are clean restrooms with flushing toilets and running water.

 

There are primitive sites located here which include picnic tables, fire rings and trashcans. There are no designated spots so you can use your imagination on where to park and any size rig can fit here.

It cost $10 a day to camp, but only $5 if you have an America the Beautiful pass. Your campsite must be occupied the first night you are there and you cannot leave it unattended over 24 hours thereafter.

The camp is located near the Sandstone Multiple-Use Trail and Caroline Dormon Trail. If you are riding the Sandstone trail with your horse or ATV the price is $5 a day per horse/vehicle. There are also many other trails in the area to hike.

 

Quiet hours are between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.  Place campfires in rings only and please don’t leave them unattended. All pets must be maintained on a six foot fixed leash on trail.

We have stayed at multiple horse camps in our travels, but this is the first one we have seen that came with little corrals for your horses to be penned up in when you weren’t riding. They were donated by the Louisiana Equine Council and I thought they were pretty neat.

There are large grassy areas and pines scattered in the campground. If your seeking sun for solar or shade to escape the heat you will be able to find a spot here.

 

We didn’t stay in this camp, but one down the road that was free so I don’t know what the cell service was like.

We stopped here to dump trash and check it out. We did meet a nice guy there who was about to ride his horse and he was nice enough to let me snap a pic. I forgot his name, but still want to thank him for the pic.
