Facility Overview
Sunrise Mobile Home Park is a rural residential and vehicle park facility situated along California State Route 58 (19816 CA-58) in the unincorporated desert community of Hinkley, California. Positioned in the Mojave River basin just west of Barstow, the site spans open acreage featuring wide paved internal driveways, open-air surface lots, and direct off-street vehicle bays. Because the property is entirely uncovered with no overhead structures, multi-level decks, or low parking canopies, there are virtually no vertical height restrictions. This open footprint readily accommodates standard sedans, large pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, high-roof cargo vans, as well as extended trailers, utility haulers, and recreational vehicles.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Located in the heart of the Mojave Desert, the property serves as a functional stopover and staging area along the heavily traveled east-west California State Route 58 corridor. The park is situated approximately 10 to 12 miles west of central Barstow, placing visitors within a 15-minute drive of major desert hubs and historical attractions including the Historic Harvey House and Western America Railroad Museum, the Route 66 Mother Road Museum, the Desert Discovery Center, and the Barstow Station shopping stop. To the northwest lies the expansive Harper Dry Lake wildlife area, a popular destination for birdwatchers and desert nature photographers, while off-road enthusiasts frequently traverse the nearby BLM-managed desert open spaces.
Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Vehicle access is direct and straightforward via California State Route 58, which connects the central San Joaquin Valley and Tehachapi directly to Barstow and Interstate 15. The facility features wide, unobstructed aprons for ingress and egress, facilitating simple turn-ins for extended vehicles and towing setups without complicated maneuvering. Regional transit connections operate in nearby Barstow via Barstow Area Transit (BAT) and Amtrak at the Barstow Harvey House station.

Visitor & Driver Tips
When approaching the property along CA-58, maintain moderate highway speeds and signal early, as traffic along the two-lane and expressway sections moves rapidly. The open desert climate can bring extreme summer heat and occasional high winds with blowing sand, so drivers should ensure vehicle cooling systems and tire pressures are properly monitored before extended stops. There are no on-site automated payment kiosks or mobile parking app meters for temporary transit staging, so travelers and long-term vehicle owners should contact property management in advance to verify lot rules and availability.
