We've stayed at Cagle many times and always enjoyed it. The campground is great with beautiful views on Lake Conroe. The campground host Jesse is fantastic -- a warm and friendly presence.
We've become a bit disenchanted with site 32. It's probably the best site in the campground with a great view of the lake, easy access to the lakeside hiking trail, and plenty of space. We've regularly booked it exactly 6 months in advance to get it. Unfortunately, everyone else seems to love the site as well and walks right through it while we're there. On multiple occasions we've settled into a hammock for a nice nap and been woken by people tromping right by our heads speaking loudly. We've tried calm and polite discussions of "Please don't walk through someone else's campsite," but it gets exhausting. We will probably start staying at a different site.

The bathrooms are still disgusting in the first loop. I like that it’s reasonably close to Huntsville and Conroe, but that is the highlight of the park.
Bathrooms are not cleaned on a regular basis. The sites however are nice and deep.

Nice campground with some trails. Even when full, it was quiet. Camp sites are not isolated.

This campground was excellent, We really enjoyed our stay.

However, I would like to let you know that the information on your reservation website is incorrect. When booking the site, I was informed that only 19 sites in Cagle are full hookup. However, I discovered while there that all the sites are full hookup. This was corroborated with the host in my area. Please correct this information. Though our site was great, I would have chosen another site closer to the lake, if I had known this fact. thank you.

We had a wonderful time at our Ladies’ Day camping fellowship at Cagle Recreational Area, New Waverly, Texas! It was such a blessing to spend time together praying, talking, playing games, sharing lunch, and enjoying stories and songs. The weather was perfect, and the beautiful lake Conroe views made it even more special. We were at RV Site 31which was well-equipped with full hookups, a fire pit, tent pad, and a metal table with benches. It was conveniently located near the restrooms, showers, walking trails, and just a short walk to the boat ramp—making our stay both comfortable and memorable. We had to level up the RV on the driver's side. This was our second camping visit, and we hope to do it again.
