Very clean! Very pretty! Lee the camp host was visible but respectful. We will absolutely be there again very soon!

@BettyL5624191 · Camped on Aug 21, 2024 at Campsite #34

We love to camp at Cagle. The park is kept clean. It is a short distance to get to bank to fish. We had sewer, which is a real plus.

@ThomasH6812009 · Camped on Aug 15, 2024 at Campsite #3

Get quiet getaway

@martinz1138EF5 · Camped on Aug 12, 2024 at Campsite #30

Very peaceful & quite during the week enjoyed having stores & some restaurants close. The host was very nice & attentive.

@PatrickH813255 · Camped on Aug 5, 2024 at Campsite #31

Great place, well maintained and the host on our loop was a great guy.

@LarryR5427320 · Camped on Aug 5, 2024 at Campsite #40

Only issue is your WIFI service should any one need to use cell phone to call for medical assistance/ambulance which is problem with elderly campers!!

@JoeM4444950 · Camped on Jun 29, 2024 at Campsite #38

Campground clean and well maintained. Host was very friendly.

@SusanG3849669 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #34

Nice campsites, easy access to Lake Conroe, friendly caretaker.

@EllenR0A00F2D5 · Camped on Jun 17, 2024 at Campsite #42

Cons: Wasn't mowed until we had been there 3 days. A stray dog wandered the campgrounds daily. Pros: The bathrooms were clean and in good repair. It was quiet. The camp hosts were friendly and helpful.

@MichaelB697476 · Camped on Jun 16, 2024 at Campsite #33

Nice quiet park

@MichaelD829846 · Camped on Apr 23, 2024 at Campsite #32

Love it was excellent

@JamesW5759385 · Camped on Apr 21, 2024 at Campsite #19

Very pleased with camp grounds. Clean, quiet, and well kept. Wish there was better cell phone reception. Not fault of camp ground!

@PatrickK884942 · Camped on Apr 19, 2024 at Campsite #7

Park was very nice, but there was no phone service or internet at the park

@DavidT5110185 · Camped on Apr 18, 2024 at Campsite #35

The camp hosts was very cordial and helpful. They kept the sites and the bathrooms very clean. Would definitely come back again.

@PhilE214748924 · Camped on Apr 16, 2024 at Campsite #28

I thought this was supposed to be a survey of our trip, not a questionnaire about the website. I use the app on my phone and it works well.

@BarbaraR956587 · Camped on Apr 16, 2024 at Campsite #5

We have been coming to this park for many years and we find this park wonderful. We have large sites and the park is beautiful. The fishing is good and you could not have better hosts to take care of your problems, if you have any.My only complaint would be the turn in at the entrance of the park. The sign is hard to see if you are going West because of the afternoon sun.Also if it is raining or the weather is bad you cannot see the sign. The left turn into the park can be very dangerous because of the speeders behind you that do not see your left blinkers going. The sigb needs to be bigger or make a left turn lane. It sure would help. Thank you

@TaylorP6A4FC46 · Camped on Apr 14, 2024 at Campsite #29

We love Cagle recreation area, but our last visit was made less than enjoyable by the park host named Lee. He was constantly on 'patrol' threatening $150 fines for any tiny infraction. He was inspecting campsites multiple times a day, and entering campsites to clean firepits even when people were using them. We do not wish to come back there again when he is park commandant.

@KipM54824CBAD3 · Camped on Apr 14, 2024 at Campsite #42

Everything was clean and well maintained. The boat ramp was very convenient and the hosts and hostesses were polite and friendly. I will be returning.

@RonH1908399 · Camped on Apr 9, 2024 at Campsite #44

Camp sites are nice with decent space between them. Locations for water, power, sewer were set up well and were in good repair. Park is older, so "paved" trails are in a little rough shape. Holes, tree roots etc along with older wooden bridges that are in various stages of failing. Our loop had one bath/shower house. Kept clean, however, at the time we were there (4/2024), the June bugs were out in force and were laying dead all over the bathrooms and the sidewalks. Just nature and the lights around the bath. The staff cleaned up everyday. Just a lot every day. Found the camp hosts to be very nice/hospitable. They made sure we were all set up and I believe that they also take care of the bath/showers. Don't expect to find someone in the gate house. They no longer seem to staff it anymore. At least, we never saw anyone there during our two day stay, and there was a sign stating that the gate house wasn't staffed....I'd recommend them for sure and will be back if were in the area again!

@StevenE1286395 · Camped on Apr 7, 2024 at Campsite #28

Nice quiet campground. Camp hosts are very nice. Site 24 is not level. Many sites are not level. We also stayed at site 36 which was pretty level. Verizon signal almost zero. Several nice trails. Quite a drive to get anywhere, but again, that makes it nice and quiet. The birds in the morning are just incredible.Pricing was a surprise. I need to pay closer attention. $8 reservation fee and $10 electric fee. $20 for the site so total was $38, which is not really worth it, compared to most sites booked through Recreation.gov. Apparently this campground is now owned by the state, which would account for the higher prices.Overall, nice place, but probably won't be back here much if at all. For the locals, it's probably a great weekend retreat. Nice and clean.

@Christine17272 · Camped on Apr 4, 2024 at Campsite #3

really had a nice time. Beautiful place.

@LucynaKA649EEC · Camped on Mar 29, 2024 at Campsite #9

The campWasFull which is fine but the restrooms need to be cleaned every day with a full camp. We were there over the weekend and on Sunday the trash cans were overflowing in the bathrooms and the toilets were filthy.

@BarryB5514346 · Camped on Mar 28, 2024 at Campsite #30

Cagle is a great Park. Cagle is known as the park with the boat ramp. The boat ramp is the central icon of the Cagle Recreation area. But the dock at the boat ramp IS FALLING APART!!! This needs to be fixed. If the icon at Cagle park is the boat ramp, then the main element of the boat ramp, which is the dock, needs to be kept in good shape, and presently it is a piece of crap. This boat ramp has had the face lumber along the outside edge broken off and missing for two years. This year I noticed even another piece has been broken off. When I was out there this last time, with heavy winds one day it looks like a giant chunk was broken off of the corner by the heavy waves from the winds or a boat was knocked against it because of the winds. The importance is that boats moor along the dock, and when the lumber is missing, the bare metal frame of the dock will tear up the boat. The metal will also tear up bumpers that boats use. So the icon of Cagle - the boat dock at the boat ramp - is potentially tearing up boats. This has been in this shape for two years. Please get it fixed.

Nice people, nice areas to park and enjoy... great trails and had a really great time

@RobinW91B0E9C2 · Camped on Mar 17, 2024 at Campsite #21

Very Nice, wooded campground right on the lake! Beautiful area !! We were in Site #21 which was good sized .. we had a 28' 5th wheel and F-250 PU that fit fine. All sites have a little space in between, fire ring, picnic table on concrete slab, and Full Hook-ups. Bath/Shower house was Exceptionally CLEAN although an older structure. Hosts were very pleasant and helpful and patrol the CG frequently.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
