We’re not just talking about Wally-docking and casino camping.  There are many free and low cost camping opportunities in places far away from a paved parking lot. 

As part of our “Ways to Save” week I’ve collected a list of links that will help you find parking and camping opportunities all across the country.  I’m sure I’ve left out many good resources, so if you know of one that I haven’t listed please share it with us all in the comments area at the bottom.

Casino Camping Location Report - Southern Indiana

If you’ve been following my posts we’ve taken a quick trip through the central Midwest, stopping at casinos in Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana.  We’re traveling with a schedule to keep, so we had to skip some RV friendly places, but we’ll catch those next time.  Our last stop in Indiana was on the Ohio River at the Horseshoe Casino in Elizabeth.  Read more

Casino Camping Location Reports - Joliet, IL and Michigan City, IN

Casino Camping Location Report - Quad Cities

I mentioned in my last post that I’m traveling through the Midwest and writing about several locations for Midwest Gaming and Travel magazine.  After leaving Dubuque, Iowa we traveled about 70 miles south to the Quad Cities of Davenport, Bettendorf, Moline, and Rock Island.  If you make this trip, and have time, we recommend taking the “Great River Road” — longer, but more scenic.  We were in a hurry, so we took US-61.  Read more

Casino Camping Location Report - Dubuque, Iowa

Dubuque is an exceptional small city and an interesting place to stop for a night or to stay for several days.  We arrived on a Thursday, and spent the first night at the Wal-Mart Supercenter because we needed to stock up on some groceries.  On Friday I visited the Diamond Jo casino in the Port of Dubuque district, and on Saturday we had a great time at the National Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium (photo is one of the historic riverboats on display outside the museum).

The $1,128,000,000 Campground

Airstream RV Blog #84 - The $1,128,000,000 Campground from Sean Michael on TheLongLongHoneymoon.com.

How valuable was this camping experience? We’ve been told that a half acre of land on the Las Vegas Strip recently sold for $47 million. And yet, here’s a massive swath of such land dedicated to a full hookup RV campground. So using these numbers as reference, I guess our little campsite is worth at least $5,000,000 — and the campground itself is worth around $1,128,000,000. Read more

Casino Camping Update — Reno Nevada RV Parking Ban

A quick post today to bring this to everyone’s attention.  Reno Nevada has started enforcing the overnight parking restriction that has been a local ordinance since 1996.  Over the years there has been sporadic enforcement; although, several casinos made accomodations for RV travelers, especially those of us who are serious players.  It seems even this has come to an end.

We (don’t) like Ike! 

Family commitments and other things kept me away from blogging last week, and I didn’t want to miss two weeks in a row, so today will be a “random thoughts” day with a couple of odds and ends that I hope you find interesting and/or useful. Read more

Casino Camping Location Report - Carson City Nevada

A few weeks ago I posted a report on the Reno/Tahoe area and I left out Carson City because we hadn’t finished exploring there.  Now I can tell you about the capital of Nevada, and it’s a great little city to visit. Read more

Gambling for the Casino Camper – Video Poker Part 2

One of my goals in posting here is to help you to get the most out of your recreational gambling budget.  It was May 24th the last time I talked about gambling - and more specifically Video Poker.  In that post, I gave you a very brief overview of the game along with a few references and resources (both online and in print) to further your study.   Now, I’m coming back to provide a more complete coverage of the subject, but rather than “reinvent the wheel” I’m going to give you a link to an excellent post on this topic by nationally known gambling writer Linda Boyd.  Read more
