We arrived at a little before 4:00 after the 2:00 check-in time to have plenty of time to get our RV set up before dark. The site we had reserved had our name and dates on a card clipped on the #42 campsite. Yet, there was a trailer set up in the campsite and no one was in the trailer. Turned out the guy was out fishing. Check-out time was 12:00, and the park host failed to get the person out of the site in a timely manner. Another camper with a truck moved the trailer to another site which did not get cleared until after 6:30. This was the first time for us to use our new RV and I wanted plenty of sunlight to get set up for the first time. It was very disappointing and frustrating to arrive at our campsite with a trailer in it and then to have to wait for almost 3 hours to get started setting up. I did not get finished until about 9:30. I told the guy who had our site that he owed me a day's fee for my inconvenience. He was rude and said, "I don't owe you anything." The park host saw and heard all of this. The person who was in our campsite was not reprimanded and it was I who was inconvenienced. Once this snafu was over, the rest of our time camping was wonderful!

Cagle is a hidden treasure! Sites are spread apart and every site has trees so you always have shade. Camp hosts are helpful and Lake Conroe is right there. There is no swimming there but the boat launch is close. Weekends are always booked up so plan in advance!

Camp host Linda is very friendly & helpful.
Park sites usually blown off clean.
Camp sites are very wide & not packed together like in most state parks. Roads are good & extra parking is close to campsites.

Camping was great, but I don’t understand something,each time we have camped there, online it shows the campground to be full but there’s always open spots. We always stay 3-5 days and these spots never fill up. To me that’s taking away from other people that want to camp there. Park has seen some decline in the last few years, not kept up the way it used to be. I think they need new host, in the second loop.
