Very nice campground. We'll visit again. We had a great space next to the water and hiking trail. The controlled burn in the adjacent area was a surprise. Lots of smoke but we never felt endangered. Our only point of frustration was the periodic interruption by another camper - friendly guy who I'm certain meant well, but he was insistent on accessing his boat via the cut through at the back of our reserved space. We had to settle our dogs down each time as they naturally reacted as he and a friend would pass within a few feet of where they were tethered directly outside of our camper. (Additional access points were available a short way down on either side of us.)

The bathrooms were clean and the shower hot (a little too hot for me). The sites were spaced out well for privacy and feeling of having space.

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.

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.
