Intoxicating night skies, a crackling fire and cozy tent space for two are just a few of the things you need for a romantic getaway with the one you love.

February is the start of wildflower season, so be sure to take a hike around the park. And, with little to no rain in the desert, you can keep your rain fly packed away and enjoy desert sunrises from the comfort of your own tent. Don't forget to look up while you relax around the campfire. The stargazing at this desert state park is considered some of the best in the world—and once the sun falls behind the mountains, you'll understand why. Expansive skies provide a glimpse into milky galaxies and make it easy to spot shooting stars.

This campground, located between the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean, is the epitome of tropical—relax at your campsite with swaying palm trees overhead and spend your evenings watching the sun set over the water.

Get away from the campsite for an afternoon and head to the Conch Republic, an old Florida town with narrow streets and unique architecture, where you can wander around hand in hand. There are shuttles you can take to and from the campground.

Get cozy in this campground located at the base of the Cascade Mountains. Forested sites provide plenty of privacy for nights around the campfire, and the Trail of Ten Falls will keep you busy all day. The trail starts above a 100-foot waterfall, but that's just the beginning.
