Mill Bay Casino

The nightly fee is now $60(!) to park at a casino essentially in a parking lot. Kind of ridiculous. If you don’t want to gamble there are plenty of better campgrounds some of them free if you want to boondock. I was in the gambling mood so I stopped here.

You are NOT allowed to boondock in their regular lot. Security will harass you. You must use the RV area.

No real great place to walk the dog abs there’s spurs on the ground everywhere so be prepared to pick those out of your dogs paws.

Casino is small and average. Nothing to make a special trip for.

However, all sites have full hookups and it’s brand new. The Thursday before Memorial Day only had 6 of us out of 20-something sites so we could space out. Felt very safe. Cameras are around and security drives by frequently. The view is also amazing and the drive here is spectacular. Large enough spaces for any size rig and they’re all pull-thu.

My only real issue is the price. Most of us are going to lose money gambling here (or at any casino) so the $60 charge on top of that seems pretty excessive. If I didn’t want to gamble I would have gone to any other campground in the area. Cheaper and not a parking lot.

Overall it’s pretty average for a casino, but overpriced.

They no longer allow boondocking here. I tried to stay overnight in the parking lot and security told me I had to stay at the RV park right next to the parking lot. I would rather have boondocked for free but the RV park was nice and well manicured. Each site has full hookups for $40/night and the wifi is good. I arrived on a Thursday night and there was lots of space.

We stayed here 2 nights in July. We were not in the normal RV area, which was being used for a concert, so they put us in a field adjacent to the parking lot. We were required to register with their players club, and were told we needed to play $20 in the casino (but had no indication they were checking on that).

If you need a place to stay while exploring Chelan and Lake Chelan, this is a good choice. We downgraded it for noise because of the people next to us who clearly enjoyed the concert a bit too much. It's probably better when you can park in the normal area.
