Cagle Recreation Area, located on the shores of Lake Conroe, offers great fishing and water sports just 45 minutes north of Houston. Cagle has a boat ramp, hiking trails and two camping loops with 47 full-service RV sites nestled among the pines of the Sam Houston National Forest. Sites offer drinking water, electricity and sewer hookups plus a tent pad, lantern post and fire ring. Sweet Gum Loop has 19 sites and Sycamore Loop has 28 sites. Each loop has sites overlooking Lake Conroe and restrooms having flush toilets, sinks and hot showers. Some sites must be reserved and some are first come, first served. More than 2 miles of hiking trails meander through the campground surrounding the camping loops. The southernmost mile of the trail is paved, for those wishing a less primitive hiking experience.
