Camp site had plenty of space. Facilities close by (were always clean and well stocked with TP). Fishing close by. My only complaint is the boat ramp. People were revving their boats to load up until midnight. I swear an air boat was right outside my tent at one point. Team no sleep. Did not care about no Verizon coverage because nature. Maps provided at check in could use an update with an estimate of how far the trails are.

We were in the Sweetgum loop, site 15. The site was very good. The camp hosts, Bobby and Faith were very helpful.

We love coming to Cagle. It's close to home, beautiful tall trees, lovely sites. Rangers were very nice and attentive. One issue was disappointing Friday night after we had gone to sleep. Airboats revving their engines for about two hours next to campsite. No one could sleep through that it was awful. Rangers told us that Cagle couldn’t do anything about it and that it could happen any night. I almost said we should pack up and just go home. But we had planned this trip for a long time and decided to stay. The next night we heard the airboat once and the night after that none at all. It is a shame that a few airboat people can Make our peaceful outing so miserable the first night.

Check in was easy. Host was ok, but moody. We have been going to this park for many years. I have never been told that if my dog continues tio bark we would have to put her inside our camper! We do not let her bark out of control, just be aware if you take a dog.
