elk valley casino

Wildlife viewing starts before you even check in: a live elk herd roams the casino property. Elk Valley Casino functions as an overnight RV stop rather than a traditional campground, set in a large parking lot where noise from other guests is possible. Registration requires a visit to the casino floor with a valid ID to sign up for a players club card. The on-site restaurant, tribal gas station, a nature trail, and pet-friendly grounds round out the stay. Campers wanting a more conventional setup can look at Bayside RV Park nearby.

We arrived around 10pm and was it was pretty dead and well lit. Once we got a players card we asked if could stay overnight in our honda civic hatch. They made an exception for us but YMMV due to us not actually having an RV. If you are in a RV or bigger camper style vehicle they don't care at all. They said we're welcome to come inside and use the restroom anytime during our overnight stay and to be respectful.

Great stop

Loved the nature trail, large parking lot with room for RVs think you have to check in for the larger vehicles. Hit the slots, gas up, walk the pups, grab some food, can’t loose.

Free Overnight Parking (2 Days)

We needed a place to stop for the night and park the RV for a few hours. This was perfect and the price was right (free). You do have to go inside the casino with an ID and register for their players club card and then register with security. We ate at the restaurant and the food was actually good. They had a salad bar and a pretty full menu. Also, the tribal gas station is quite a bit cheaper than all of the other ones in the area. Overnight there was one loud “discussion” but you are basically in a parking lot so it was to be expected. We felt safe the whole time. Bonus is they actually have an elk herd on site so it was cool to see them. This is a place to stay the night not to set up your outdoor kitchen and cook a meal.
