About
Cane Camp offers a quiet and peaceful primitive camping experience beneath large pine trees carpeted with green grass in Louisiana's Kisatchie National Forest. This designated horse camp is specifically designed for equestrian campers looking to explore the nearby Sandstone Multiple-Use Trail system and Caroline Dormon Trail. The campground provides essential amenities including flush toilets, potable water from faucets, trash receptacles, and horse-feeding tie poles. Sites are first-come, first-served only at $10 per night, with payment available via QR code using the Recreation.gov mobile app. The Interagency Senior/Access Recreation Pass provides a 50% discount on the single site fee. Located along the Longleaf Trail Scenic Byway, Cane Camp is managed by the Kisatchie Ranger District. Dogs are permitted but must remain leashed at all times.
