Rt. 1375 west 5.6 miles to Cagle Recreation Area sign. Turn left into
campground.
NOTE: Entrance gate closed 10PM to 6AM.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The elevation is 225 ft.
The campground, comprised of two loops, Sweet Gum and Sycamore,
is located along the east shore of Lake Conroe on the west fork of San
Jacinto River. The overstory is composed of large pines and hardwood
trees. The smaller loop, Sweet Gum, is more open with redbud and
dogwood blossoms decorating the area during February and March.
Although widely spaced, there is no middlestory, providing poor privacy
between campsites. Sycamore Loop has more hardwoods and more
shade and campsites are closer providing minimal privacy. Some
campsites have a few places nearby where boats can be moored.
Both loops have a manicured grass understory and are surrounded
by mixed hardwood and pine. Each loop has some sites overlooking
the lake. This is a popular campground that fills up most weekends.
