We loved our winter stay at Cagle rec area! Site 36 was great. The views were beautiful and the hikes were great. Geocache by the front gate as well.

Hidden gem! Beautiful trees, excellent lake access, minimal traffic noise, and the park hosts are attentive and welcoming. Cell signal is usable for work, but can be challenging. Even in high summer, this park is shaded and noticeably cooler than other parks in the area. We make time for a stay at Cagle whenever we are in the area!
