Year-round (peak: October – April)
Sedimentary cliffs banded red, white, and tan rise 300 feet above the desert floor at the El Paso Mountains' western edge — a film-location landmark (Jurassic Park, Westworld, hundreds of car commercials) wedged between Edwards AFB and Death Valley. Ricardo Campground holds 50 sites at a 30-ft cap, dry-camp, year-round, with the dump station 0.5 mile from the loop. Highway 14 carries every rig in from either Mojave or Lone Pine; the loop road inside the park handles 30-foot motorhomes to every site but the satellite Hagen Canyon sites which narrow to 22 ft. The summer window (June through September) clears out as ambient temperatures break 105°F; October through April is peak, and the dark-sky designation (Bortle 2) makes new-moon weekends the busiest of the year.

Other state parks in California
Humboldt Redwoods
Humboldt Redwoods holds the world's largest contiguous old-growth redwood stand — Burlington's year-round 33-ft loop is the basecamp, and the 31-mile Avenue of the Giants is the reason you came.
Mount Tamalpais
Mt. Tamalpais posts a 24-ft road advisory and offers only walk-in tent sites — stage at China Camp or Samuel P. Taylor for RV camping, then day-trip the East Peak summit.
Anza-Borrego Desert
California's biggest state park lets you dispersed-camp any dirt road inside 600,000 acres — Borrego Palm Canyon holds the only full-hookup loop, and the operational season runs October through April.
Pfeiffer Big Sur
Pfeiffer Big Sur's redwood campsites cap at 32 ft, run year-round, and book six months ahead — but Highway 1 landslide closures north of the park are the actual planning constraint.
