When that Texas sun starts beaming, you don’t have to sweat it — literally. Summer in Bryan/College Station can bring the heat, but with a few smart strategies (and a couple of perks from your stay at Galloping Snail), staying cool is easier than you’d think.
Whether you’re here for work or just passing through, here are some tried-and-true ways to beat the heat and enjoy your stay without overheating.
Rise Early, Rest Often
Morning and evening hours are your sweet spot. Get errands, dog walks, and rig chores knocked out early, then spend the midday hours staying cool and relaxed — no badge of honor needed for braving the heat.
Pop-up canopies, windshield shades, and reflective RV covers can help keep your rig cooler, but sometimes the best move is just stepping into the AC.
Chill Out in the Clubhouse
Need to escape the heat or just change the scenery while working remotely? Our fully air-conditioned clubhouse is open and ready:
- Lounge with big-screen TV and comfy seating
- Table space for working, reading, or board games
- Game room with ping pong, pool, and more
- Small gym to sneak in a low-sweat workout
- Full-sized vintage camper kitchen so you don’t have to cook in your RV
It’s the perfect place to cool off and still get things done (or do absolutely nothing — we won’t judge).
Explore Local Cool-Off Spots
Ready to venture out? Here are a few local favorites where you can dip, splash, or just chill:
Adamson Lagoon Pool
Water slides, shallow zones for kids, and a relaxed vibe.
Fun for All Splash Pad
Free fun for younger kids with plenty of benches for grown-ups.
Lake Bryan
Bring a kayak, rent a paddleboard, or just sit waterside with a drink.
Cook Smart, Not Hot
Skip the oven and make use of the clubhouse kitchen instead. You can:
- Whip up cold meals or snacks without heating your rig
- Use the full-sized stove/oven for quick meals
- Prep crockpot dishes in a cool environment
