My RV is a car, do they forbid camping in your car at Bear River Casino?

As parking lot go, it was OK. The upper end of the lot was more level. The lot was bright all night. A little noisy all night die to late night gamblers. We were told the players card gave us $10 gas credit. Actually ended up being $1 credit. All in all it worked for an overnight stay

It is a paved parking lot next to the casino. In order to stay you have to get a players club card then fill out a page of detailed information about your RV. You can stay up to 3 days. They give you $10 to play as a new member and $10 for fuel to be used within 7 days. The parking lot is sloped everywhere and we were not able to fit in the regular RV spaces so had to park along the side across multiple parking spaces. That would normally not be an issue but the slope was enough that I could not get level. Other than the neighbor dog barking all the time it wasn't too noisy. Security patrols the parking lot at night and there wasn't much activity.
Both AT&T and T-Mobile were poor signals. I could make calls but the download speed was only about 2Mbps. I only gave it 3 stars because of the slope, paperwork, and poor reception. An hour north on 101 you can park for free along the beach in one of the many pull-outs. A little louder traffic but it is quick and easy. I'd choose that over this casino parking lot any day.

you Can stay a maximum of three nights, they gave me $10 to spend to gamble and $10 in free fuel. Lots of security and staff going through the parking lot so felt safe. My one complaint is the lights. Very bright and on all night. Even though I covered my windows with towels and blankets it was still a lot of light- hard to sleep. Must be self-contained. New services. The restaurant only has indoor seating so I didn’t eat there.

Courteous staff, check in with security at front desk for permit, and you must have a players card. Plus player’s card came with $10 free play and $10 free gas, including diesel. Restaurant is a little expensive but the food was bery good. Good place to stay to explore Humboldt Bay area. Only drawback, it’s a parking lot.

Our 2nd time here. Level, lit, security, great scenery. 3 nights max, have to register with security inside. Right off 101, nice for sightseeing Ave of Giants, Ferndale, Eureka... too bad Loleta Cheese factory is closed - perm, it was our favorite!

You must register, so they can keep track of your spending. Free wifi if you walk to the hotel beside it. No water, garbage, not even a smile.

When we arrived at approx 11pm, the lot had maybe 10 other RVs/trailers parked there. Parking was abundant. Lot very was clean. Casino staff were all friendly and professional. As usual we spent a few $s on the slots and restaurants as our thanks for the stay. Would stay here again.

No sites available in any of the other campgrounds for 50 miles so we were pretty happy to get in here for free, particularly after spending 2 nights in San Francisco at $100/night.
As per previous reviewer, all was easily sorted out on arrival and good location to visit other parks when everything else is full.
Not sure about the rough sea comment, lot is fully paved and very level.
As casino lots go, this one is very quiet and private with easy access and a decent restaurant.

This was a good casino parking lot, right by an exit from Hwy 101. It was an excellent base for visiting the Humboldt Redwoods State Park and the Lost Coast. (If you go down to the Lost Coast, go from the Ferndale end. The road from the south was a nightmare.)
The lot was as level as a rough sea, but manageable. Go to the casino cashier to sign up for a players card, then take that to security to get a parking permit. You can stay up to 3 nights. It was very quiet, and there were never more than two other RVs there. The sign says tractor-trailers can park there too, but there were none while I was there.
Verizon 4G was fast, with 2 bars, -114 dB, 40 Mbps down and 7 up.
With this casino and the ones at Blue Lake, Trinidad and Smith River, I got a total of 11 nights along the northern California coast for only $31.
