We love coming to Cagle Campground. Always clean camp sites and bath house. Hosts Bobby and Faith are friendly, caring and helpful.

Beautiful Park. This part of lake Conroe is totally different from the southern end as there is no development so nothing but treeline. The only thing was our camping site ended up being across from a camp host who had lots of junk around their trailer so it was an eyesore. Would have chosen another campsite if I had known. (would have given it 5 stars otherwise) You never really know what you are getting until you see it. Overall we enjoyed the park and would definitely go back and try to grab a different campsite next time. The facilities were nice and very clean and the campsite had good service i.e. electric and water.

Quiet, beautiful, well kept park.

I is so nice to stay in a campground where rules are enforced. Without what I have seen as constant work by the camp host, Lee Young, the place would be like an unsupervised children's playground. A special thanks to Mr. Young for keeping the park supervised and organized.

Site number 5 is very steep and you will find yourself climbing back up to your RV.
@RichardZ485077 · Camped on May 12, 2025 at Campsite #36
Excellent condition. Lee the park host is very helpful friendly and makes the experience great

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.

First time here and we LOVED IT! Nice site; friendly hosts and neighbors. Bathrooms were just OK; could have been better maintained.
@GeorgieK775834 · Camped on Apr 24, 2025 at Campsite #5
Campsites are clean and well maintained. Bathrooms were adequate. Nearby destinations nearby include Honeys Biscuits in the town of New Waverly, as well as the Veterans 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.
@AngelaRB582423 · Camped on Apr 21, 2025 at Campsite #31
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.
@ClaudiaS110EA0 · Camped on Apr 14, 2025 at Campsite #5
Great to have sewer connection. Campsites were well laid out. One problem was they allowed people to park where ever and that made it difficult for me and at least one other camper to back a camp trailor in.
@JamesM9879118 · Camped on Apr 10, 2025 at Campsite #2
Quiet, spacious site. Only issue was toilet paper shortage rapidly corrected by camp host
@ElaineW0422FFB · Camped on Apr 7, 2025 at Campsite #29
Volunteer staff was great. The sites were lovely with sunsets and hiking paths. The bird songs were amazing. Wish I had brought my fishing gear!
@DebraDFEE8025C · Camped on Apr 4, 2025 at Campsite #36
Park is small and quiet. Sites and bathroom are well maintained. Hosts are friendly.
@DebbieKDA7259B · Camped on Apr 1, 2025 at Campsite #17
This is a fairly decent place to stay. Sites are fairly deep with plenty of space between them. The bathrooms however dont appear to be cleaned on a regular basis. We stayed for almost a week and the bathrooms didnt get cleaned until the 4th day we were there. And it was the same in both loops. The hosts do come through and seem to be nice. The closest town in New Waverly, typical small town. But Huntsville, TX is about 30 minutes and will have everything you need.
@LindaW6181394 · Camped on Mar 30, 2025 at Campsite #34
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.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

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!!!
