Cagle Recreation Area

Very hot and humid! Very beautiful with lots of trees. No swimming because of alligators in lake. Hiking, biking and sweat only. Not my favorite.

we only used the camp ground as a staging area from which we tripped out of daily, so we really did not use the facilities enough to give a really good perspective. But, for what we did use it was really nice.
Only one minor complaint, there was never anyone at the entrance booth to ask questions, pay balance or check in with, kind of odd but we managed.

I love the large sites with mature trees for shade. A swimming area is needed to have a nice place to cool off in the Texas heat.

we had a very good time, unfortunately the electricity went off but was repaired in a reasonable amount of time. We did alot of hiking. Would definitely like you to add bicycle trail for children.

Very nice camping place for a weekend. The lake is beautiful. They do have electricity and clean bathrooms with hot showers.
