Went into the Casino and asked a public safety officer about overnight stays. He helped us get registered and came out with us to get our license plate and vehicle information. He was very polite and even gave some tips about where to eat and what to see in the area. He also mentioned that there was some “free play” provided if you sign up for the players club card. This site was just a few minutes from the 29 Palms Entrance to the park. Safe, well lit and not terribly noisy. There was some noise of people coming and going to the casino throughout the night, but nothing to keep us awake.

Checked in with security and he gave us a 3 day permit to park. Super close to the National Park and a nice spot to come back to.

Stayed here 11-3-2024. Security guard met us while we were driving around the parking lot, showed us where to park, and then signed us in. They had us park quite far from the main parking lot, so we heard very little traffic. Showed our appreciation for the free overnight by having dinner in the casino - fish & chips were very reasonably priced and delicious. A very quiet, restful night. Thank you Tortoise Rock Casino!

Camping inside national parks is always an impossible unless you reserve seconds after the bookings opens up. We wanted to try our luck in Joshua Tree first come first serve sites. Of course no luck. Saw this place on here after a long day of driving.
Security guards are all extremely nice (other reviews confirmed). Can stay here up to 72 hours.
Nights quiet less the occasional raffle winning announcements and loud motorcycles. No star gazing marking lights full of lights.
Woke up with a gorgeous view of the mountains and the city. Bathrooms like all casinos, extremely clean.
Best of all, this is all free!

Make sure you check in with Security when you get here. They were great. And felt safe knowing they were patrolling. Stay is free but they will take your vehicle info and I.D. and give you a pass for your dash. Pass is for 24, 48, or 72 hours. So I presume a 3-day limit.

From the entrance, the back lot to the left, the east side, is the most level. It's also designated RV parking on the map on your pass. 5 bars on T Mobile. I connected to their Guest Wi-Fi, but my hotspot was faster. Beautiful facility. Nice views. Friendly staff. If I didn't have an appointment I would definitely stay longer.

Designated areas for RVs. No water, dump, electricity or wifi but staff was super friendly and it was free. Can stay up to 72 hours. Must check in with security first to get a slip. Super easy. Please look at photos for more info.

After a frustrating day looking for a walk in campsite inside JT, We decided to spend the night at the Casino. The staff was super friendly and very prompt to give us the permit we need to stay overnight.
It was very quiet and level for our 24 feet class C

“You Have To Have A Vehicle That’s Converted Or A Trailer ”
noted 7/6/2023
You have to have a vehicle that’s converted or a trailer, they will not let people sleeping in a vehicle stay which is stupid.
“Surprised!!!”
noted 3/24/2023
Attn 5th wheelers! Stopped there today...you cannot detach your tow rig at all if you stay here...not even an hour! was going to run into town and into Joshua Tree but was told can't detach! It's a small casino and it looked like they could use all the gambling revenue I was going to give them! bad policy on their part! 😕☹️
