Morongo Casino Resort

There is a large parking area at the end of the casino. One section is mostly truckers and the other is RV'ers. This place fills up overnight so truckers will be come park in the RV'ers section. Most RV'ers park along curb and enjoy a little space that way. When you are coming in, try to park at the back by the fence and you will have a nice field. There are really nice views of mountains from this parking lot. Casino has shuttle or is shortish walk to building. Have a decent enough buffet.

Check out their spa, with either a purchase of a service or for a daily entry fee you can get all day use of their facilities. This includes seperated women/mens areas with a dry sauna, wet sauna, jacuzzi and cold pool along with water, tea, coffee, magazines, showers, towels, bathrobes, slippers, all the shampoo, hair combs, etc.. products you might need, even shave kits. Great way to unwind from the road!!

I found it fairly quiet. Weather was a bit crappy in February, but was able to drive to Palm Springs 25 minutes away for hiking and Indian Canyons and town walking.

From the casino the small town of Banning is 5 minutes away. Right next to the casino is Desert Hills open air mall. A little further is Beaumont and it has all of the major shops you could be looking for.

All in all, great free place to park and have easy access to shops.

I ask “Was the experience acceptable, regrettable, or exceptional for the circumstances I was given.”

ACCEPTABLE: A huge parking lot that is a bit of a hike to the casino and restaurants. It is free. It is fairly level and constantly patrolled. Semi trucks toward the freeway and RVs on the upper lot. The casino tower looks good in the sunset. If you bowl, that facility is closer. Bring a kite.

Stayed 5 nights in the regular parking lot (we are in a 19’ Roadtrek) without incident; no security, no harassment. We parked a little far out so we weren’t “in the way” and during the week nights we didn’t have any neighbors. During the weekend nights, we did have people parked near us coming out to their cars late at night, but that’s to be expected at a casino. Also, music from the pool party and a classic car show on the weekend, but again, some noise is to be expected. There are bright lamp posts to keep people safe at night, so good curtains help at night. It gets windy in the area so there was some gently rocking of the van, I-10 traffic can be heard at night as well as trains from nearby railroad tracks but all in all, not a bad spot for free.

Stayed here for 5 nights and was not approached by Casino security nor anyone telling me to leave. It seems like you can stay here forever. I noted two other RVs that were here before we arrived and were still here when we left.

Otherwise, very quiet here. You can call the casino main phone number and they will have a shuttle drive out to you within a minute or two. It gets quite windy here.

The parking lot is slightly sloped down towards the south-east. I had to use leveling blocks. Verizon 4G signal came in very strong. The only amenities is a dumpster. The casino has a travel center on the other side with a dump station and drinkable water fill for $15.00, as well as propane.

I keep staying here because the weekend brunch is amazing and only costs $35 with tax & tip for my wife and I.
There is a strong Verizon, Tmobile, AT&T service.
Free shuttle for pickup & dropoff service, not a far walk to fast food & mini mart.
Relatively quiet at night, the semi parking lot is 100 yards away and the i-10 is maybe 1000 yards away. The wind can often be strong enough to rock our 10 ton diesel pusher so strongly, even with jacks down, that it's difficult to sleep. However this isn't the fault of the casino, the entire area is often very windy, with a field of windmills nearby.
Free water & dump at the gas station.
Large spaces for RV diesel & gas
No free wifi inside the casino, no free coffee or drinks inside, however the casino does have plenty of food options. There is also a blowing alley within a short walk.
Paved parking lot is relatively flat

They moved where the RV camping area is since my 2015 and 2016 overnights at this casino. The marker on Campendium is correct, but was wrong at the time. We talked to a security guy who told us where to go and that there is a 3 night minimum (!!!) I've never heard of this before, but be aware that they really want you to come in and spend some money for your free stay.

The RV area is just an old parking lot, real far away from the Casino. You can call the casino's main line, be put on hold, then the run-around to be transferred to the right department to ask for a shuttle. By the time the shuttle arrives though, you could have walked to the casino and already be eating dinner... which is what happened to us when we asked for a shuttle.

Happy to have this place as an overnight stop though. Not only have I used it 3 years in a row, the casino has been rewarded with my money spent inside each time.

Stopped at Morongo Casino for one night. Camping is in a designated lot near the bowling alley, which is a ways from the casino itself. Shuttles arrive regularly to bring people to/from the casino. The lot is brightly lit so good window shades are a must. There's a truck lot nearby by far enough away that I couldn't hear their comings and goings.

Easy access off I-10.

I'm always grateful for the casinos who allow overnight parking, and who provide designated areas for it.

This was our 3rd time camping here, so when we arrived, we went to where we normally parked and stayed the night. The next day, security pulled up to our rig and honked their horn. It turns out, the RV lot has moved to the east lot behind the bingo hall and bowling alley.

The new location is brightly lit, so you may want to park as far from the lamp posts as possible.

Big rigs have their own lot, however, many still park in the RV lot. The noise from their engines idling and the nearby train blowing it's horn every few hours woke me up regularly.

This is a fine stop for an overnight, but certainly not ideal.
