We there for 4 days and the shower in the womens restroom ran constantly for 2 days of them until we brought it to the hosts attention. The womens bathroom was not cleaned one time and ran out of toilet paper whereas we had to go ask for more. We stayed at site 19. This loop is commonly reffered to as the Ghetto. I can see why! the other loop is where we usually stay but could not get in. Clean, nice host great atmosphere. The ghetto is run by an old couple that has been there for years freeloading off the campgrounds. There host site looks like a second hand trailer park site. I think you can do better. The other park host in that loop died of a heart attack that weekend. It was a rough weekend.

Camp hosts were great! They kept the place clean and blew off the roads and areas of tree debris. Friendly and with the program.

Beautiful view of the lake. Our site (37) was level. Everything was nice and clean.

Cagle is a lovely campground and the hosts were very helpful and accommodating. I continue to struggle making reservations on the site. There were lots of open spaces when I arrived and even spots that could have been used on the one night it was reported full and I had to find someplace else to park. The nearby town was nice with a post office, decent grocery store, and washateria. A large super Kroger was available only 20 miles south. A beautiful lake and sunsets, a nice paved walking trail. I will definitely go again if I get back to this area. Sadly the weather was not very cooperative and very cold.

If you want complete seclusion including no cell service or satellite service, then this is your place. I read reviews that said ATT get a decent signal in the Cagle area, but those reviews were wrong. I work out of my motorhome and we had to leave the first day due to no service. We didn't get any refund for the rest of the days we didn't stay. If you need cell service or need the internet, then save your money and go elsewhere.
