I went to Big and Little Caliente's a couple of days ago and all the roads were open
though some mud pools were pretty deep for a passenger car.
I am not sure if the gates are open now since it's raining.
For that info you can try calling the ranger station
Los Padres
National Forest
6755 Hollister Avenue Suite 150
Goleta, CA 93117

I always seek a ride to Caliente and to Saline Valley in exchange for beer and use of my Forrest Adventure Pass
