Cons
Campers ignore basic rules/courtesy such as keeping dogs on leash and letting children run thru everyone’s campsites

No security drive-throughs by park staff

These sites are spacious and quiet. They all have full hookups. Nestled under the pine trees, right beside lake Conroe. We saw deer and duck and heard coyotes. The only negative is that the restrooms are not heated.
Our rate was discounted $10 with the senior pass.

PROS
Quiet even on Halloween weekend except for road noise from FM1375
Night sky friendly. NO STREET LIGHTS in Campground!
Two FHU Campgrounds. Sweet Gum with 19 sites and Sycamore with 28 sites.
Metal picnic table
Cooking grill on metal fire ring
Site level and asphault parking pad in good condition
Friendly camp host who came directly to site on our second day for our check-in
Not charged a fee to make my own on-line reservation
Campsite discount with America the Beautiful Pass
Great KROGER MARKETPLACE store along I45 in Willis
Laundromat in New Waverly
CONS
Campsite water hook-up sprayed water everywhere. Even tried using plumber Teflon tape that didn’t even reduce the large spray. Talked to camp host about it and he just laughed and agreed it was needing some repairs, but no one ever came by and it sprayed like that for 4 nights! We had quite a large puddle.
Security gates are NOT closed overnight
Extra high sided campfire ring
No privacy from any other campsites
Toilet/shower facility without temperature control
4 Camp Hosts for 47 campsites. Sweet Gum Loop #11 Camp Host site packed to the max with all kinds of stuff that isn’t seen at other Camp Host sites. Definitely hording homesteaders.
Only park amenity is boat ramp for Lake Conroe.
No swimming permitted.
Never saw any park rangers or park security driving through campground
Wildlife sightings of grey squirrels
No campfire wood for sale in park
Zero to 1 bar AT&T; most of the time zero bars
No park Wifi
No public phone to make emergency 9-1-1 phone call

The Cagle Recreation area in Sam Houston National Forest is a quiet oasis in the middle of huge pine trees. We stayed in site 14 in the Sugargum area. It was next to site 13 which was closed off as “emergency site” only. the camp host lives in site 11. There was no one at the entrance of the Cagle Rec area so we just proceeded to our site. Our name was on a paper on a post at the site and the camp host later met us to give us a parking permit for the truck. this site showed next to the road, but it was far enough away that we didnt even notice. Also, there isnt a lot of traffic on that road, so it was fine as far as road noise. We had a fire pit, and lamp post. the iron picnic table was on a concrete pad. One bar of AT&T and one bar of verizon. 23 OTA channels if you want to watch tv.

My wife and I camped in Site 9, which was fantastic. It was super easy to back our 22' travel trailer into the site, with a nice 45 degree angle from the loop road. The site was nice and level left/right and only slightly downhill towards the rear of the trailer. We had a fantastic view of forest and nature, with the lake visible through the trees. There were no immediate neighbors on either side of the site, making for a very spacious and private experience. The site had full hookups, along with a steel picnic table and fire ring. There was even a cute little coat hook pole near the fire. There is also a nice semi-paved trail immediately behind the site that wound it's way down to the lake, over to the boat dock, and back. Overall we had a great time on our shakedown trip for 2021 (despite the impending ice storm and accidentally locking ourselves out of the trailer on the very first night). Only negative of the weekend was the lack of cell service... not bad when you want to disconnect but not good when you lock yourself out of your trailer!
