Nevada’s Valley of Fire blazes with red Aztec sandstone arches, canyons, and curves that pop vividly against the pale gray of the limestone mountains that surround them. The park covers 40,000 awesome acres and has two campgrounds with toilets and showers.

Some spots have electric hook-ups while others are more basic, with just tables and grills. All, however, offer the chance to see the landscape cloaked with stars before the first rays of sun make the colors even more intense.
