Thunder Valley Casino

Friday Night in early May… Stayed overnight with our camper truck following a concert at the Casino Venue. Plenty of space to spread out in the parking lot, easy going security guy, not a lot of noise (I slept through the 3am train, though, my husband woke up). It’s about a 10-minute walk from the far side of the lot to the Casino entrance. You are parking in a huge asphalt parking lot with no amenities… keep that in mind during the hot, Lincoln, summer season. Totally worth it for our needs.

Parked here for the night, intended to hang around the casino until my loose cash was secured in their coffers, eat dinner, sleep, grab breakfast, and go. Pretty standard. Rude security approached immediately then again and again for seemingly no reason other than to make me feel like I didn't belong there. Didn't eat at a restaurant, didn't play games, didn't get coffee or breakfast, but slept and left. I'm no business doctor or whatever but I think they could have made more money from my visit if the Paw Patrol hadn't felt the need to mark their territory so hamhandedly.

Massive lot so running generators all hours should be no issue. Every rig seemingly has a quarter acre to itself, and there are at least 30 others here at the moment.

People should rate this relative to what it is, which is a free place to park with the tacit understanding that you patronize the casino a bit. Relative to Walmart or Cracker Barrel it’s great, and there are no tweakers out this way either.

You won’t be disappointed unless you expect a free parking spot at a casino to have hospitality and be silent. Just mind your business you’ll be left alone. It is what you make it.

We found free overnight RV parking at the Thunder Valley Casino near Sacramento California. The Thunder Valley Casino offers up to 72 hours of free overnight RV parking in the casino’s large parking lot. Inside the Thunder Valley Casino you’ll find several sit down restaurants, and there is even a food court. Both a Costco and Sam’s Club are just down the road and the Costco has a fuel station with diesel fuel. Verizon cellular service clocked in at 40.6 Mbps download speed and 7.89 Mbps upload speed. AT&T cellular service clocked in at 32.4 Mbps download speed and 5.1 Mbps upload speed. T-Mobile cellular service clocked in at 25.7 Mbps download speed and 4.18 Mbps upload speed.

We traveled over the Sierra, got a late start. Left Bishop after 11am and we’re too tired to continue on north of Sacramento. Tried Walmart and Bass Sports, neither of them wanted overnight RVs. Thunder Valley to the rescue!!! We weary travelers go to get the rest we needed and for free! Nice level parking lot with security. Highly recommend.
I had 5 bars 5G T-Mobile coverage.

We stayed here one night on the way through. It was late June and temps were HOT - so we ran the generator all night to cool off the coach. Didn't hear any noise over that and the A/Cs running, and we didn't notice any smell, so the wind must have been favorable. The food is good at the Thunder Cafe, the buffet was still closed due to Covid rules. There's no kiddie menu, they have to order from the regular menu, so be aware the portions are large. Better if they can share yours - our granddaughter ordered the chocolate chip pancakes and they were delicious, but 3 huge dinner-plate-sized pancakes meant there was enough for all our breakfasts the next day!

Security drove by, but never stopped so we never got a tag and no one bothered us. The last time we were here was January, and it was a good stop then too. We'd stay again.

Our stay was very positive all around! We parked near the back of the lot since we have a dog and therefore wanted to take advantage of the grassy area, and had no issues with any smells or noise as reported by other visitors. We did check in with security and met the famous Roberto who is one of the kindest people I've ever met! The casino and amenities are all just great and access to town is perfect too! A great Sacramento stop!

Stayed one night. Parking lot is across the street from the hotel/ casino. Very large, maybe 10 acres and flat. Well lighted. Industrial area at the south end. Can be slightly noisy. A number of semis at the east end. Only 9 campers there. Probably could hold 200!
Ate at one of the many restaurants in the Casio. Red Lantern. Mostly Asian. Had Bass and shrimp and scallops. Fantastic. Are at the bar and David was extremely pleasant.

We asked security if we needed to call them and they said no. We arrived at 730 pm before dark. Left are 830 am the next. It’s always difficult to find a good flat parking lot that’s quiet near a large city and this is a winner.
