Place to spend summer

[Carolina_Moonsh]

We are looking for a great RV park to spend the summer- we are in Texas now but would go anywhere for a fun RV park, preferably for senior's with a pool/and or river/lake. Any suggestions? We looked at Texas hill country but would consider anywhere except the AZ desert- too hot! Want a park with monthly rates that aren't super high. Thank you!

Come up to Washington or Oregon. Cool summers, especially along the coast and lots of great places to stay.

I moved to east TN at first came for camping found heaven and never went back. Smoky mountains great weather yep some hot days but not enough to move great 4 seasons . Now that are we live here we still camp here many thing to see and do pigeon forge is great and Sevierville , TN but not to good when car shows in town traffic in town bad but bicycling around no problem to see everything . I moved from CT 28 years ago and never looked back.

How about a summer in New England? You should consider The Bluffs at Danforth Bay in Freedom, New Hampshire. In the heart of the Mount Washington Valley, plenty to do in the park as well as in the surrounding area. Good Luck.

This is a nice cg with indoor and outdoor pools. In the North Ga mountains and is in a beautiful area. Lots of mountain lakes, waterfalls and hiking.

River Vista

Red River, NM, Ruidoso, NM, southwest Colorado - Pagosa Springs, Durango areas, Flagstaff, Show Low, Arizona.

You need to think 'elevation'. That's where you find cool temps - even in Arizona. It's not all desert. 🙂

Ok- thank you!

I would vote for the San Juans. Start looking around Durango somewhere. There are several parks on the Animas River.

I grew up in South Texas--after we retired we decided to spend July-Oct somewhere else! Santa Fe is our favorite--rarely use the AC and lots of interesting places to visit nearby.

I would look to following the Rockies - once you get to around 8,000 feet you will almost certainly have cool crisp nights, making sleeping just plain GREAT.

Just pick an area you would like to explore and do a search, we have stayed in too many to list, and what I like might not be what you like.

My first choice areas would be the San Juan's in Colorado, followed by a wealth of choices around Yellowstone, in the National forest areas, closely followed by the surrounds of Glacier.

Go to Bing Maps or Google and pick your areas type in Camp Grounds and you will have more choices than time.

BOL,

Know 2 great places. One Raccoone holler in Glendale Springs NC. You will NEVER need AC all summer long. Have a lake

And Holly Cove near Cherokee NC. It's a little warmer, but they do have a pool.

ALL of Texas is brutally hot and humid in summer. Head into the mountains: these two in NC are good to start with.

I would more clearly define "not super high" - expensive is relative. In Florida we think anything below $600 per month in the winter is "cheap"...
not for seniors but we like Catherine's Landing RV park in Hot Springs AR. Pool and access to Lake Catherine and plenty to do in the area. Lots of retirees in Hot Springs. Their current back in monthly rate is $545.99.
Another of our favorite parks is Spring Lake RV Resort in Crossville TN. It's on the Cumberland Plateau and is cooler than the valley. No pool and not many activities except small fishing pond (catch and release). It is a very quiet and relaxing place. The town of Crossville is very friendly.
also Sante Fe NM and north NM seemed cooler when we were there.
