Photograph of sunrise at the Red Rock Canyon State Park, CaliforniaRed Rock Canyon State Park is a very nice place to camp. Campsites are well separated and there are many trails for hiking. Plenty of opportunities for solitude and reflection. It can be very hot in the summer, though, and is almost always windy.
