This summer make a splash at Blue Hole Park in Salina, a truly unique swimming hole in Oklahoma. It’s not very often you find crystal-clear water in the Sooner State which is one of the things we love about Blue Hole. Plus, the water is ice-cold making it the perfect place to cool off on a hot, summer day. You can visit for the day or stay overnight in your RV or tent. Either way, you’ll never want to leave this refreshing place.

Blue Hole Park in Salina is a privately-owned park that is open seasonally during the summer.

They do have a concession stand on-site with food, drinks, ice, firewood, and more. The price of admission is $10 per car, per day...so it's a very affordable family-friendly place to visit.

The park is home to a large swimming hole plus the creek area that feeds into it. The swimming hole can get pretty crowded on the weekends but there is usually plenty of space to spread out if you venture down a bit from the main area.
