Get Wet in 2022: Summer Road Trip Ideas Near Swimming Holes

Here in the American Southwest, things get downright toasty from time to time. So much so that if you live here, most of the times you want to take a summer road trip to a place that is much cooler. But what if this summer you choose to plan for the heat and find excellent destinations that are still enjoyable? Destinations where you can swim, tube, boat, or otherwise enjoy the cool water as a nice escape. Let’s take a look at some of the top Southwest road trip ideas that involve camping near swimming holes:

Summer Road Tripping Near Swimming Holes

• Havasu Falls in Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona. To reach this beauty will require hiking in and overnight camping at the base of the falls, (day hiking is not allowed and you’ll need a permit) so you will really need to be committed for this one. But the hidden falls and gorgeous swimming holes are worth the trip for most. Plus, you will find plenty of excellent RV campsites in the Grand National Park for before and after your adventure.
• Santa Rosa Blue Hole in Santa Rosa, New Mexico. The Santa Rosa Blue Hole is an incredible freshwater spring that one would expect in Florida, not the middle of the desert. This fantastic, crystal-blue swimming hole is a wonderful place to cool off during a hot summer. Swimming, snorkeling, cliff jumping, and scuba diving to explore the connected underwater caves are all popular pursuits here. You’ll also find a big private RV campground as well as some other outfits within a short distance.
• Comal River in New Braunfels, Texas. The lazy Comal River is a wonderful clear river that is beloved for its fantastic tubing and swimming opportunities. And when you go RVing, you can book at the wonderful Landa RV & Campground located in New Braunfels, Texas, and enjoy easy, neighboring access to tube rentals and a tubing shuttle service. You’ll also be within walking distance to the historic downtown of New Braunfels and all the top restaurants, brewpubs, and shopping there.
