First time here and we LOVED IT! Nice site; friendly hosts and neighbors. Bathrooms were just “OK”; could have been better maintained.

Campsites are clean and well maintained. Bathrooms were adequate.
Nearby destinations nearby include Honey’s Biscuits in the town of New Waverly, as well as the Veteran’s Museum, the Prison Museum, Sam Houston Museum, and the Sam Houston statue in Huntsville.
The Lone Star Hiking Trail is accessible near the campgrounds.
Cagle is also a great place just to relax and enjoy nature!

It would be great if the bridges on the long trail along the lake could be repaired . The vegetation is thick & beautiful.
The short island trail is also beautiful and there are several areas for handfishing there. We love the full hookups and the large campsites. The boat parking lot is in need of repairs due to the busy boat traffic.
This park stays very busy and could definitely warrant some tax money for repairs to restrooms.

We enjoyed our time at Cagle Recreation Area. The site was peaceful and quiet. The loop trail was enjoyable. The water pressure was the only thing lacking. It was so low that the shower dribbled water. So we ended up using our reserve tank which provided better water pressure.

Camp host (Jesse) was great! Very good about checking to make sure all was okay and we had the information we needed for a successful trip. Park was very clean and very well maintained. We look forward to returning and checking out the hiking trails.
