You know what, I ride there about 3 times a week and there is no parking law it is BLM land and you can park anyway you want as long as you are not blocking anyone. Part of the reason is could a large fire truck get through?The other trailer is right people usually back in and only leave enough room to unload their horses. You might want to consider using the new parking lot it is just a mile down Hwy 49 and it is set up to drive straight in and usually is half empty. Plus the bonus is the trails to the main part of the park are very shaded and cool in the summer. The old parking lot is small and set up poorly plus a lot of cars part where they should not. Hope that helps.

I have a question for anyone who might know about the proper way if
there is such when parking a horse trailer at a trailhead.
My girlfriend and I went to Cronin yesterday (at Pedro Hill) and every
time I have gone to park my trailer I have pulled behind the other
trailers to find my spot then park at an angle. Yesterday I got there
and there was one trailer that didn't leave enough room in the rear
(there was room in the front to pull up 3 more feet). So, I had to go
in front then back in to fit next to my girlfriend's rig.
I left a note on the windshield of this trailer to say they needed to
pull up so others could get in and park.
While we were tacking up, the riders came back and this woman (who
owned the trailer, which happened to be a gooseneck/living quarters)
immediately told my girlfriend she was pulled out too far in front and
she was going to get hit if she didn't move back. She then said that
the proper etiquette is for people to pull around the front, then back
into a spot, leaving more room at the front of the trailers to pull
out (ie, for her type of trailer). She then said she was on a trails
committee (??) and that was the law. Later I looked at the sign by the
parking lot showing arrows coming from the rear where the trailers
park and where single cars park. It'd seem to me I'd rather have
people pulling along side of my trailer going forward than trying to
back in, as not everyone is a great backer, especially if the
room is tight.
Thanks!
