Very nice wooded park, site have plenty of space between them. Water access via boat ramp convenient. The water level is pretty low, but it now has a some exposed sand to place a chair and chill or walk on.

Cagle has always been a favorite for us, even though we only live 30 mi from there. It's quiet, nice trails to hike, fishing in Lake Conroe. What's not to like?

Great area, and loved it! The only problem is there is no cell reception and thus no internet. If we had a connection, we would return every year.

Would be excellent but mid 12/22 Cagle CG water well failed. They forced evacuation of campground although I was fully contained, full tank of water. I believe they could have allowed me and others to stay understanding we were on our own like in Austin State Park, 02/21. I had to rush out that day and find another place to go. I had to pay much more than what I had reserved for, on my limited income. I would ask them to re-evaluate the policy to allow Dry Camping in those events, otherwise, great CG.

The park was well kept. Restrooms were clean but dated. They could use fresh paint. Park is near Texas lone star trail. Although our site had water issues, the park host texted us prior to our arrival and assigned us a new site. We left one day early due to weather, freezing temperatures, and were refunded without any complications.

Cagle is a favorite spot for us. The hosts do a great job and are helpful without hovering. The shower buildings are always clean. It does Sam Houston proud.
