Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races

Although reviews say to park in the lot across from the West Garage we parked in the West Garage parking lot itself with no troubles. Lot is uneven in some spots. It was a Monday night so maybe not an issue with the casino not being busy and nothing going on entertainment or race wise. Did hear the train and by morning the grounds people were working around mulching but no disturbances during the night.

I parked in the lot south of the west garage. A huge, unlevel parking area that evidently is no longer used. When I was there, there was one unhitched trailer, another hitched (where I never saw anyone), myself and later on, a Class C with a toad. The unhitched trailer (Lord only knows how long it was and will be there) was abuzz with an F-bomb screaming female at about 3:30 in the morning. There was also car and pickup traffic shortly after that as well. This, combined with the seemingly constant, nearby whistle blowing train traffic, made for a most unpleasant stay.
My advice -- if you want to stay at this location, I would try to use the east side parking lot next to the barn area. I think since it is much closer to the main building and a much smaller lot, chances for screaming folks in the middle of the night would be greatly diminished, compared to where I was. At least there would be a chance to have security patrol there on occasion -- I never saw anyone connected with security (although I was told inside by a security guard that they do patrol the west lot).

Campground reservations here are outrageously expensive. They call themselves "resorts" and offer things that are unnecessary if your focus is the national historic parks.

This is a huge lot, patrolled frequently by casino security. I talked to the security guy and he said they might come knocking on the door "after 3 nights!" And it is a short walk to watch the horse races from the fence.

There is a train passing nearby, but I did not notice it at night.

Our next campground reservation wasn’t for another day so we needed a spot between where we were and where we were headed to sleep. We were able to unhook our toad and grab some amazing tacos at Ortegas and then rehook the toad and relax. There were a couple semis parked by us and a couple other RVs came and went. We felt safe and comfortable here. Other rvs put slides out and used generator but we opted not to use our generator (we don’t have slides) The lot is a bit unlevel like others said. Bad in some places not in others so we moved around until it was level enough. I’d crash here again if we were passing through

We stayed here on October 22, 2021. We checked out both parking areas mentioned in the reviews below. We decided to stay on the north side of the casino. We were the only RV with a couple of trucks. We did see RV's in the other parking lot as well.

The casino parking lots and garages were virtually empty giving the feeling that perhaps the casino was not open, it was open. The north parking lot is not level, easy to get level with our self leveling trailer though. There is some traffic noise, but hardly noticeable inside the RV.

We did day trip to Harper's Ferry National Historic Park and enjoyed it.

Good one nite stay! Parked on North side of Casino in the "Employee/Overflow" on Finish Line Ave, parking across from the horse barns. The other Employee pkg was used for COVID testing... No need to call, just be polite and let security know that you are there. Had some traffic noise from E 5th Ave but not too bad. Not very level but you should find a spot. We parked near the near fence on left as you pull in.
