We could not have asked for a better spot during our visit to Redwood. The RV parking is on an upper level from the casino, next to the Tribal Offices, so no noise or traffic comes through here. One side is shaded and the other not. It was quiet and felt very safe... even had camera in the parking lot.
Once we parked, we went into the casino and paid $20 for up to three nights. They have several water spigots and even gave us free wi-fi, which was enough to stream some Netflix in the evening.
Redwood NP is only about 20 minutes north and we were able to do some hikes in the morning, then return for lunch and a short rest before returning to the park in the afternoon.
The only negative is the very sloped parking lot, but it was doable with some leveling blocks. If you back in under the trees, be aware that you will not be able to use blocks under your power jack because of the slope.

We were able to stay for 6 nights altogether. We had to re-register and pay another $20 for the second of 3 nights stay.
The road to the casino is a little overgrown with hanging branches, but even big rigs like ours can get there borrowing the oncoming lane here and there.

The RV lot is not the best design, kind of a parking free-for-all with everybody doing their own thing, but it worked. We had a lovely view of the ocean from our spot. There are water spigots on one side of the lot and several trash cans. It costs $20 to park, and you can stay up to 3 nights, which we did. The lot is well lit and patrolled regularly. The casino gives $10 credit per day when you join the players club. We went to Bingo, which was awesome, and everyone that worked at the casino was very nice.
The best thing about this spot, that made the $20 well worth it, was the things you could walk to in the surrounding area. Walk south on Scenic Drive about half a mile for access to Baker Beach. There isn’t much of a walking path, but traffic on the road is light enough to make it without much stress. Gorgeous views along the walk, delicious wild blackberries but also a lot of poison oak, so forage carefully. It’s a steep trail down to the beach, but it is well maintained. Wouldn’t recommend doing it with kids or dogs. The beach is very secluded, beautiful rock formations, very soft sand for lounging. Check the tide schedule because there are tide pools with starfish, sea urchin, and sea anemones. Walk half a mile north on Scenic Drive, there’s a ton more wild blackberries on the way and then a pizza spot that does $9.99 for two slices and a beer. Best pizza we’ve had in a while. You can also drive to both spots but we prefer to walk.

You pay $20 cash for 1-3 nights to stay in the casino’s overflow parking lot across the street. There is water available and garbage cans. Walking the grounds gave us a lovely view of the water, but we didn’t find any easy beach access. It looks like you should be able to walk down Scenic Drive and find beach access but there isn’t much of a shoulder, so we decided against exploring. Instead, we stopped at Clam Beach a few miles down Hwy 101 and had a lovely time.
The sites would best accommodate 24 ft or smaller rigs backed-in. Larger rigs fit, but there isn’t much room to turn around. We pulled in without unhooking since we were the only ones there, but ended up moving when another larger rig arrived. Probably would not have fit if there were multiple vehicles parked in the lot.
We didn’t visit the casino, other than to pay our camping fee so cannot report on it or the restaurant.
We had 4 bars of Verizon 4G.

To stay here, you have to pay $20 cash to stay up to three nights. You will need to go in and fill out a short form at the Players Club.

Pros: With our Netgear Nighthawk modem (with MIMO antenna), we got 78 mbps down and 15 mbps up on AT&T! Without the modem, we still had two bars LTE of T-mobile.
There’s free water hook-ups and trash!
The casino and the RV lot are clean and well-maintained.
Great location right by a bunch of Redwood parks.
The view is pretty nice- ocean view through some thick trees.
The RV lot is separate from the regular parking and on top of a hill- great for solar!
Cons: I suspect the $20 is to act as a gating mechanism to keep out certain RVers but it seems a bit silly to charge money to park in an empty lot?
While very nice for what it is, it’s still a casino parking lot.
Because it’s a casino, there was quite a bit of noise at night- a tree fell during our stay so there was chainsaw noises at 2 am (I assume the tree had to be cleared from the road so probably nothing they could’ve done about that) and car doors slamming at all hours.
Verdict: Would definitely stay again if I needed a cheap place to stay in the Redwoods for a few days!

Really glad to have this spot near Redwoods NP. Same as others have said, come in from the North. Was a little concerned about cell service (why, oh why do we still talk about "bars" that mean nothing?!) but I was pulling 40 mbps down on my Verizon hot spot so nothing to complain about there! Everyone staying here was nice enough. Some vehicle noise early in the morning with the early risers hitting the road. A few folks with their dogs off leash but comes with the territory. I parked facing the ocean. Being somewhat unlevel doesn't bother me. Locals were celebrating with some fireworks and mortars yesterday evening but wrapped up before sundown. I never saw security in the RV lot but they might have come by after I went to bed.
When you arrive scope out the lot to make sure its for you. Go to the casino to fill out form and pay $20 CASH.
