Blue Lake Casino

Not a place to get sleep. We played by the no generator rulebook after 10:00 pm only to be one upped by the overgrown boy children in the next RV over. When they finally stopped playing for several hours with their generator switch sleep finally arrived only to be bombarded by the WALMART SEMI TRUCK that parked directly in between both of our rigs at 4:30 am so he could sit in his cab AND READ A BOOK! No one from Security ever came out to check on anything including the cars burning rubber in the parking lot half the night. It's to bad, because employees were nice at the casino, including security. The Casino itself looks "tired", but the slots were fun and a nice selection. Sushi restaurant was very good and the younger women waitress was excellent. Point being... Your charging us $33.00 for the night, we're spending Plenty 'O $$$ in your casino, please do not treat us like second class casino patrons. WALMARTS STILL READING HIS BOOK!! From 4:30 to 7:30 am with the truck still idling! We would have gotten way more sleep in the WALMART PARKING LOT downtown!!

This was our first time trying out a casino parking lot to stay in, and it was a nice treat to be able to walk from the RV to dinner. The casino has some good restaurants in it, and there are other options within walking distance as well. The casino has their own brewery, which was very cool, and the beer was delicious. 

The casino has you join their club in order to be able to park here for the night. Membership is free and easy to sign up- and you get some cool swag as well: a deck of cards, $20 worth of gambling money, and most exciting to us: a redwood tree starter kit! This last one might just be limited time for Earth Day though. 

The casino is currently open with limited capacity, and your temperature is checked at the door. The restaurants inside offer in house dining, and the guests were seated at tables far apart from each other, and all the staff had masks on. 

One downside: this casino had several semi trucks parking in the RV area, so the engine noise of them coming and going made it sound a bit like a truck stop. However, it was really quiet overnight. 

There’s also a gas station on site, and they have bulk propane at $2.89/gal as well. The use of the dump is only for RVs staying overnight. There are trash bins but we didn’t see any recycling bins. Keep in mind this is sovereign land and not California State land, so some things that are legal in California (i.e. marijuana) are not legal on casino property. Good wifi from the casino reached all the way back to the RV parking area, which was a surprise. Good T-Mobile, ATT, and Verizon reception as well.
