Renegade 38ft w/jeep. Site 27, FHU. Took some leveling but hey, we're boondockers. Beautiful sites! Close to the lake too. Used Starlink thru the tree canopy. Hosts were extremely friendly! Site held our Jeep no problem but there are little tow vehicle parking spots all over the loop. Book early! We camped at Cagle Recreation Area in a Motorhome.

One of my favorite spots in the Sam Houston national forest. Been camping her decades with my children who are all grown now. Now they’re camping at Cagle. It’s a great place for paddle boarding and kayaking.

We absolutely loved this campsite! It will be a place we come back to. I wish we would have known all the rv camping areas have sewer hookups and don't have a bump station. O well, that's something we will remember next time. We loved being able to fish or hunt. It's so beautiful here in the national forest.
