I have been fortunate to camp in almost every National Park unit in the system.
Capitol Reef (one of the Utah "Mighty Five") is one of my favorites despite being one of the least-visited Parks in the country. Lots of great canyon hiking. The campground sits in an orchard of fruit trees. There's a great diner up the road for breakfast. It's way off the beaten track, but it's worth a visit.
I would also recommend the Southern Unit of Canyonlands (another of the "Mighty Five"). Stunning views on the drive in...awesome red rock formations, petroglyphs, etc. Many of the campsites are in hollowed-out caves or under rock overhangs...bats stream out at dusk. No civilization for miles, so the nights are crystal clear and the stars abundant.

You never realize how important somebody like Jon Falk is until they retire.
A real "Michigan Man" and the best equipment manager in the world.
Enjoy your retirement, big guy!
