Where is your favorite place to camp in the summer to avoid the heat? With a water feature; river, creek, lake etc. Thank you.

As we folks in Texas reply when people ask what are Texan's favorite camping places in the summer ---

COLORADO

Get above 5,000 ft elevation, preferably above 6,000 ft and an area which supports trees.

That will not stop hot days from happening, but what you want is places that get cool at night.

Earlier this week near Dallas, the LOW was 81. It was 91 at midnight, 81 about 5:30 as the sun rose and 90 by 9:30 am. I can't hardly take those kinds of temps any longer when the days never get cool.

I'm thinking thee referring to "Fun Valley RV Park" But don't go there if your single, that won't let you in.

That's where we go too!

Eastern Sierra above 8000-9000 feet.
