Morongo Casino Resort

After driving 10 hours through California with our 43 foot fifth wheel, we needed a place to stay. The Morango casino was a blessing. The directions say to go straight up towards their new travel center, but the new policy just put in place -you need to stay on Seminal Drive, turn left into the main casino, and then follow the valet instructions. Do you have plenty of clearance at valet even for the largest rig. I am including pictures. They will give you a parking pass, and then you’ll park in the upper North lot.
On the upper west side of the casino, they are building a full-fledged RV resort, they said it should be open by January 2024.
Personally we went straight to the north lot, parked, then walked to valet, we had a picture of our license plate in our rig, and they gave us the parking pass.
Inside the casino the pink coffee café has a very wonderful espresso..(i’m pretty picky)
Their new travel center had wonderful fuel prices compared to most of California.
One of the things we liked the most, was there was constantly security driving around, and cameras everywhere. So we felt very secure!!

As far as Casinos go, Morongo really knows how to take care of RV'ers. First of all, the parking lot for RVs and Semis is on the far East side of the casino property (not the overflow parking lot to the North). Overnighting is perfectly fine - we confirmed with security and this is our second time overnighting here. No check-in or permission is needed beforehand. It's just a dirt lot, so you'll have to dry camp, but it's safe with security patrolling the area and a great view of the mountains. Dumpster is located in the paved parking area for semis. There free shuttle pickup from the lot to the casino. The casino is located in the wind corridor, so just be aware that it can get pretty windy at times.

The Morongo Travel Center on the Northwest side of the Casino has really good gas prices compared to the surrounding area as well as propane, potable water, sewer dump.

Parking lots (to me) are always a crap shoot (no pun intended). This one paid off. I got there early, and scoped out the possibilities. Behind the bowling alley adjacent to the casino are two parking lots; one paved, one dirt and gravel. The paved one had several semis and a few large RV's. I drove all the way to the back of the gravel lot, away from everyone and away from the halogen lights (that often keep me awake at night). I parked parallel to the curb/burm. There was a nice breeze when I was there, the sunset was gorgeous and the sunrise almost as nice. a few more trucks and RV's came later, but nobody was close to me.
There was a nice place to walk my dog. Fast food just off the parking lot on the other side (many choices--I had Chipotle and Cold Stone Ice Cream for dessert). A security guard rode by a couple times, which made me feel safe, not harassed. Verizon got about 3 bars. Overall, nice easy stay. I can't find one thing to complain about. I can't give it 5 stars because it is a dirt parking lot, not a campground in the forest or by a lake, but for a free place to park, it was pretty damn nice.
Oh yeah. Don't forget to visit the dinosaurs one block to the west!
