Three Rivers Casino & Hotel

We stay here when other campgrounds are full. Three Rivers will let you stay if you play a little. Just go to the security desk and they will get you a sticker for your RV. Dry camping only with no hookups of any kind. They setup several RV spaces so you shouldn’t have any problem finding a spot open. They mentioned that eventually there will be power available but not sure when that will happen.

Just a quick update as the rules are slightly different than described in the past. You can stay the first night for free after registering with security. If you want to stay an additional night you will need to sign up for a players card and obtain 50 points on your card. Points are obtained by the number of “coins” you play. If two people have cards they will combine them to qualify for the 50 points. Money spent in restaurants does not generate points. You can stay a max of 4 nights as long as you qualify with 50 points for days 2-4.
As described previously the sites are large and it was pretty quiet while we were here. Security and other staff were very friendly.

The casino and lot seemed nice enough despite the ridiculous amount of RVs but as neither of us are 21 they couldn’t give us a players card, and therefore we couldn’t stay the night. We are on a very tight budget and currently do not have the money to stay in the 20$-50$ camp grounds. It’s also the only free camping for at least an hour :( which makes it all the more unfortunate.

We had a group of 6 RV's stay 2 nights and managed to squeeze in 4 spots total. The satellite view on google earth is outdated (as of 9/20/18) and they now have basically 2 dedicated lots to RV's with painted lines and numbered spots. The most southern lot has 2 rows of RV parking that are about 65' long each and maybe 25' wide, but they are 90 degrees to the aisles so if it was crowded this could get tricky for larger rigs. I'm 65' long and fit in a spot lengthwise no issue. The spots are also plenty wide so you have plenty of room to put slide outs. The large concrete area is still there and there are some shorter back in spots along the left side of this. The lot closer to the Casino has the spots laid out at an angle so these would be easier to get into with a larger rig, even when crowded. The spots along the side of the parking lot are some of the longest spots (some might be 80'+). They do have in their rules that you must be a larger rig to use these very large spots or you could be asked to share with someone else.

The first night is free and then you need 50pts on your players card for each additional night. A couple of us played black jack for an hour and easily got the 50pts needed for another night plus I left with more money than I started with which is always nice. The staff was super nice and friendly!

Have stayed here on 3 occasions.
Each time was excellent.
Check in with security and post paper in window.

***Little secret: You can stay here 4 nights max. However, on 4th day, if you get a buffet and bring your receipt to security, they will extend another 4 nights. I stayed 6 days total.
I highly recommend you confirm this with security, as unwritten policy is what it is. But a security person told me this and it worked for me.
Nothing negative, all positive.

UPDATE July 5, 2018. I have heard that the rules have changed and to stay free, purchases at casino must be made beyond night 1. Call casino for the 411

AFTER you've parked your RV, you are obligated to go to Reservations & provide your photo ID. They want to know WHO you are, HOW MANY people are with you, a Description of your RV, & it's license #.

You then are obligated to go to the SECURITY desk & they will provide you with a ticket that you MUST DISPLAY on your RV's windshield. The ticket shows the date you arrived & the date you will be leaving. IF no ticket is displayed on your windshield you will politely be asked to leave.

I overnighted 24 May, there were a total of 9 Class A's, 6 5th Wheelers, one Class C, a pickup with a camper shell, & a Jeep towing a Teardrop.

Stripes are painted on the pavement & are ample for even the longest of 5th Wheelers.

Three Rivers Casino WELCOMES you to come & park your RV. I set my solar panels by the front of my van & that was OK with security. All employees I came in contact with were polite, courteous, & helpful.

The restrooms are clean & stocked with the essentials.

FREE beverages (meaning coffee or soft drinks)

2200 - 0700 are quiet hours & THEY ARE ENFORCED. NO generators or other noisemakers allowed during quiet hours. The parking area is brightly lit at night. I felt safe & secure.

I didn't buy any food or gamble so I can't comment on those attractions.

Frankly, it boggles my mind why some people spend a quarter of a million dollars on their RV & then spend time in a Casino parking lot for FREE.

We came expecting the 4 days free but there’s new management so the new policy is you can stay first night for free but the next nights need to be approved - meaning you need to get a players card and use it to gamble. If you get a minimum of 50 points betting you’ll be approved for an additional night. This is our first night and I collected 200 points so tomorrow night should be all set. The maximum amount of nights at one time is 4 and then you have to wait 14 days before you can do it again. We stayed May 20, 2018

Good for cheapskates like me looking for free spots along the coastal highway. We needed a place to crash in our van for the night and felt safe staying here. Was pretty busy and full on a Saturday night (which means it was noisy.) Had to register for a players club card in order to register at the security desk for the night. Registering with security is required as they are very vigilant. Try to find a smaller spot or share a long spot with a bigger RV if you’re in a small van or passenger type vehicle like me, as parking in the regular parking lot overnight can get you towed. You must be in the RV parking area if you’re staying overnight. Everything is clearly marked with signs so it’s easy. ALSO: Bathrooms are very clean and nice and staff is helpful and friendly.

This is the fullest free RVing spot we've every stayed at. There must have been a hundred RVs of all shapes, sizes, ages and conditions. Pluses: Free for up to 4 nights, space when all the nearby campgrounds were Full on Saturday night, not any closer together than many RV parks, quiet hours from 10P to 7A. Minuses: There were several RVs that ran there generators for hours.
