This is one of our favorite campgrounds when passing through the eastern side of the Sierras. No real amenities, with pit toilets and water faucets only. But, the scenery is great if you like the desert. Hot in the summer, at an elevation of about 2500-2800 feet. Great motorcycling in the BLM areas adjacent, and to the opal mines across Hwy 14. Senior rate is $10 per night (over 62). Dump site is presently closed. We camped here in a Truck Camper.
Located in one of my favorite areas of the world, red rock canyon state park is basically a primitive campground with dump station and a small nature / geographic info center. Crude bathrooms, no services at sites, along tight, crudely graded dirt road. Sites were not very level or big. A few sites were pull through, sort of, but this was a generous description. Staff ranged from friendly and helpful to park ranger Nazis. We got yelled at and threatened by a ranger for letting my mellow, friendly lab roam around on a walk when I was ¼ mile from anyone else. Overall, a place to park and dump, but you could just pull off the hwy 8 miles north in open BLM land, park wherever you want, have all the space you want and not get hassled—just pack out your trash please and don't dump on the ground.

If you like the desert, this is a great scenic park, with the red cliffs,interesting geology, stargazing and local hikes. Surrounding area is a treasure of local, quirky history. Dump station on site, ranger stattion and visitors center. Other than that, there are NO facilities here or nearby- make sure you bring whatever you need. We camped here in a Motorhome.
We have stayed here many times and always stay in the back: sites 1 to 4. This allows us not to unhook the trailer and have easy in and out. There are no sewer hookups in these sites but we only stay for the night. The managers are very nice and will help in anyway they can to make your stay nice. They take Passport America and many other discount cards. We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is a great stop over for passing through with easy on and off from the highway. Passport America gets half off the price shown. Overnight spaces are the pull through spaces at the back of the park. The remaining sites appear to be long term mostly. There are no sewer hookups for the pull through sites. I would definitely stay here again for an overnight. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
Convenient location off of Hwy 58. Pretty rustic pull through sites in the back storage lot but serviceable. Gravel streets and parking spaces. No sewer hookups on the pull throughs. Good for overnight while en route We camped here in a Motorhome.
This is an overnight stop only, and be sure to get a pull-through (there are only 7). The park has mostly residents and is very tight if no pull-through is available. Definitely not a destination park, but acceptable for a nights stay while travelling. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Not big rig friendly. Pull throughs are in back of park with no sewer. When asked if it was big rig friendly the answer was yes. We have a 42' motorhome pulling a 26' trailer. Not big rig friendly if you go in where it says to go in. This is a very old park and should not have a very good rating. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Big Rig sites if you take up two sites, otherwise not. Nothing fancy. There is train noise. Gravel roads and sites. They want you to park 1 1/2 feet from the hook ups. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.
A Dirt parking lot with hookups. We were there Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend, and there were literally hundreds of rigs coming through to dump on their way home. They used all unused pull-through spaces for dumping, creating a muddy mess in most of the park. Staff said that happens only that one day each year. WiFi was $3/day. We stopped there only because we wanted to watch the space shuttle land that afternoon (which we did). We camped here in a Motorhome.
Just a dirt parking lot. Pull through sites with FHU, pay for wi-fi. Long term residents around the perimeter of the park. The train goes through town at all hours, but no whistle after midnight. The "Spaceport" is right next door, but we did not hear any planes. The bath house was clean but old. Verizon cell and aircard worked OK. A place for a short overnight stay. If you are an Elks member, the local lodge is a block away, for a beer and some fellowship. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
OK for an overnight stay but to many regulars living around to border of the park. We used their WiFi then had a hard time getting their site off our computer. Wide open pull throughs in the middle of the park. If the wind is blowing it can get very dusty. We camped here in a Motorhome.
Park for the price is OK, Pay WIFI is $3.00/day. Long 60' pull-through for overnighters (no need to unhook the dingy). Nothing special,gravel semi-level; but a place to lay your head in Mojave [Edwards Air FOrce Base(pop 3500)].There is laundry, but I didn't use it. We camped here in a Motorhome.
