Desert Diamond Casino

Stayed 1 night in 40 ft MH towing Jeep. When we arrived late afternoon a security car was just passing by and motioned for us to follow him. We were escorted to the RV parking section where there were already a half dozen other motorhomes and trailers, plus a couple semis. Nice open lot with a view of mountains. Fairly level lot, we didn't put out slides or jacks. Good Verizon signal. There was noise from trains and airplanes in the evening, but quiet at night. You will certainly hear jets at 6:30a. We would stay here again.

Pulled in for the night. Place is very clean and quiet. There were only two rigs here besides us. I felt very safe and got a good night's sleep. You can catch breakfast at the casino if you want don't want to cook before pulling out. Not a place for an extended stay, but perfect for an overnight. Train tracks are across the road a ways. Train could have gone by, but we didn't hear it.

Near highway, airport and train tracks. Highway noise not bad. Airport noise minimal at night. But a very loud train rolls through blowing its whistle a couple times a night. Parking lot felt safe. We stayed here 2 nights but if we had known about the sister casino to the south we would have stayed there instead. Unless you need to be 10 min closer to Tucson, the other casino in Sahuarita is a better choice, IMO. Or try Casino del Sol.

We stayed here for a night and it was really nice. There are a ton of RV's in the RV lot with nice garbage cans around and a general feeling of being welcome. The players club card is totally worth it as mentioned by others! We signed up in 2 minutes and got $20 in meal vouchers plus $20 in free play (which we turned into enough cash to cover drinks and tip at the buffet). So if you're lucky you can actually make a little money to stay here for free.

To access make sure you get directions right to the lot. We came in the main entrance and driving past the front doors and around some tight circles wasn't the easiest.

Really no complaints, I just can't give blacktop camping 5 stars ;-)

Stayed at Desert Diamond for a week while getting some work done on my rig (luckily they were able to give our camper back to us each night!). Tucson is a fun city, and a great place to stay for a longer period. The casino is about 15 minutes south of town.

RV camping is in front of the casino hotel. There were a number of RV's camped each night, though it was never overcrowded. There is some generator and idling truck noise, as well as noise from the highway and the occasional train. Fighter planes practice in this area, so you may hear some seriously loud airplane noise for brief periods of time.

Parking lot is clean, well lit, and regularly patrolled by security. The casino appears to love RV'ers, and when they cleared the lot one morning for a large yard sale they were hosting, they encouraged overnighting RV'ers to move into their main parking lot.

If you acquire a free players card inside the casino they'll give you a $10 food voucher, which gets two people breakfast at their buffet. My husband and I both got players cards and were able to eat free breakfast for two days.

Check out San Xavier del Bac, right down the road from the Desert Diamond. Free admission and a beautiful historic mission.

Desert Diamond is easy in and out overnight (or longer!) parking, and about a 20 minute drive to downtown Tucson. We stayed 2 nights mid-week, and another 2 nights over a weekend. Mid-week, it was pretty quiet, with just a couple RVs, and a handful of semis that would come in around dark. It was much busier on the weekend, but still had plenty of space for any size rig.

Trash cans are all around the parking lot, and emptied frequently. There are some idling trucks and generators, but overall, the area is pretty quiet. You are right next to Tucson airport, so you will occasionally hear a super loud plane overhead.

There might be a stay limit, but we saw a couple rigs that had obviously set up camp, and were still there when we returned a week later. Security occasionally came around, but no one ever talked to us.

Easiest access to RV parking is to turn west on Topowa Drive from 19, then right into the parking area.
