We have been coming to this park for many years and we find this park wonderful. We have large sites and the park is beautiful. The fishing
is good and you could not have better hosts to take care of your problems, if you have any.
My only complaint would be the turn in at the entrance of the park. The sign is hard to see if you are going West because of the afternoon sun.
Also if it is raining or the weather is bad you cannot see the sign. The left turn into the park can be very dangerous because of the speeders behind
you that do not see your left blinkers going. The sigb needs to be bigger or make a left turn lane. It sure would help. Thank you

I thought this was supposed to be a survey of our trip, not a questionnaire about the website. I use the app on my phone and it works well.

We love Cagle recreation area, but our last visit was made less than enjoyable by the park host named Lee. He was constantly on 'patrol' threatening $150 fines for any tiny infraction. He was inspecting campsites multiple times a day, and entering campsites to clean firepits even when people were using them. We do not wish to come back there again when he is park commandant.

The camp hosts was very cordial and helpful. They kept the sites and the bathrooms very clean. Would definitely come back again.
