Lots of casinos encourage this. Some do it a better than others, like "The Mill" in Coos Bay, OR. They started out letting RVs park overnight and that got so popluar that they ended up building an RV park along the river right next door to them. "Turning Stone" in Verona, New York built a seperate parking lot for truckers and RVs with shuttle service from there to the casino. "Turning Stone" also has its own RV resort.

Most casinos other than the Vegas strip allow this but if more people use the lots for parking without using the casino facilities I'm sure it will soon become a thing of the past.

Another reason for joining the Players Club is that it gives the Casino a 'record' of what you did.
Just be sure to tell them that your a "Camper" so they can then look in their records and see the benifit of letting us park "free".....

Not a campground by any stretch, more like a parkinglot with full hookups, we stayed at a Casino in Council Bluff, Iowa a few years back. $20 on the honor system. I never saw anyone official. Lot of RVs there and lots of traffic to the casino. Never went inside. It was a great place to stay overnight and rest a few hours and still have water, sewer and electric.

Harrahs in Cherokee, NC allows RV parking at no cost, but no hookups either. Locals like to come by and blow horns or race loud engines in the middle of the night (3-4 AM) Level parking and they allow slides out.

Of course everyone knows about Circus Circus that famous asphalt parking lot on Las Vegas Boulevard in Las Vegas, Nevada. Convenient but NOT a place to stay in the summer.

RV friendly Casinos You can go here a purchase book on rv friendly casinos. They also have books on State Parks, National Parks, COE even RV Friendly Walmarts for those of you that like overnighting there. We love the Casinos and found this book to be great help.

We do it all the time. Best to tell security that you're spending the night. They'll tell you where to park and keep an eye on things.

Sorry, but I disagree............The VAST majority of Visitors DO in fact , come inside and Gamble, the casino's lots are usually so large, most of the time, when we are there, it is not causing any space trouble.


They offer so many promotinns, for people to come and stay and play, this is a GREAT DEAL, for them......... they get us inside, we usually come inside in the A.M. also, and they dont have to hire "extra" maids,. to clean our roooms. It is "win-win " for them, usually not so much for us, if you catch my drift!!



The BAD RIVER tribe, way up in central, northeren Wisc. offers FREE parking, Free power, and Free water, what a deal!!!!!!
