Nice place for camping or stargazing. Make sure where to go, especially at night bcz one of the gates may be closed. Don’t walk bare feet. Too many spikes! There are seats, tables, and BBQ grills. Bring food, beverages and enjoy the views. By the way Lancaster seemed a little strange, and that’s definitely a windy town. So bring your jackets.

Be aware that this park is NOT dog friendly. You can have leashed pets on the main road and in campsites only, but not on any trails. There is a deceptively placed sign with a dog on a leash right by the pay envelopes. Ended up with a $5 day pass for a 10 minute walk with the dog. The park is bordered by highways with semi traffic on two sides, very close to both camping areas. If you're passing through and need a low cost alternative to a hotel, it's cheap, clean, and well maintained. Otherwise Vasquez Rocks is free and has 4000 acres of rocks and trails to get lost in - plus it's dog-friendly.

Nice park. Was conveniently available on short notice. The park allows pets and has fresh running water. Some all night traffic noise from travelers going into town but it is still very nice.

We hiked the Saddleback Butte Trail. It was very windy. It would have been more enjoyable if it hadn't been as windy as it was, but as I've read from other reviews, it is typically windy here. It is a peaceful, quiet park. The view from the top was incredibly beautiful.

Perfect for our purposes. Just needed a spot to crash overnight. Nice clean bathrooms with flush toilets and a dump station if needed. We went dec 20th and there was only one other person there. Beautiful dark skies, minimal light pollution.
