There is nothing in the general CA state park rules that states that pets are not allowed to be "unattended" in a vehicle.

Obviously, if the dog(s) call attention to its/their being inside an RV without a human present by incessant barking, whining, and/or howling, and somebody in a nearby campsite reports this to the camp host or a ranger (if one can be found), the vehicle owner might get a "warning" or, possibly, be asked to leave. Not because the dog(s) was/were in a vehicle by themselves, but because they made their presence too well known.
CA state parks are never my first choice of campsites (because they're grossly overpriced, overcrowded, and often poorly maintained), but, over many years, I have never had a problem leaving any of my dog(s) on their own in the motorhome while I'm hiking or otherwise away from the campsite.
If a dog or dogs is/are well behaved and the owner makes sure that leaving the animal(s)alone in the RV is as safe as possible (for example, I turn off the propane when I'm away from the rig and the dog is inside) I believe that this is a non-issue. :R
