Not sure how to explain. It is a beautiful, well kept, quiet, heavily wooded, campground with easy walk access to lake Conroe. I will be back.

We've stayed at Cagle twice now and love it. We've stayed in both loops. First visit we drove around and noted what we thought would be great campsites. We had heavy rains the first night we were visiting on our second stay, took another walk around and noted again which sites to avoid if there is bad weather. There were a few sites that were rather flooded (including the tent pad).
Probably shouldn't share, but here are what we feel are the best site (including driest in bad weather) 8, 9, 14, 16, 46, 42, 40, 30 and 31.
Park hosts were really friendly and efficient. The park itself is very quiet and clean, including the restrooms. And all the sites have full hook ups, picnic tables, tent pad and a fire pit.
Have fun!

We had a great stay at Cagle Recreation area. Sites are pretty level. Full hook ups, beautiful lake and great camp hosts. We were only supposed to stay one night but ended up staying 4 nights because of bad weather on our way home. Would stay again.
