Was able to level my van in the gravel lot by staying close to the truck area. Good night sleep.

Just got the knock on the door from Security to ask us to move the the other spot behind the casino. Overnight camping is not allowed in this car park. 😔

Current location for RV parking is the dirt lot behind the bowling alley. Security redirected me when I had parked in Lot G by the travel center. He said to check in with the security desk at the small casino attached to the bowling alley.

Fairly level, lots of space, freeway not too loud, but very windy.

Morongo RV and truck area are closed for Sept and October for the Annual Powwow. You will need to check with Valet parking at the hotel as to where they are allowing parking.

We got there around 10 pm and there were a good handful of trucks and a few campervan/RVs already parked. We went into the bowling alley that was in front of the lot to check-in. The security guard said you don't need to check in and you can stay up to 3 days. So just pull up and park! Relatively flat, but we parked on an edge that was slanted a tiny bit. Nothing to uncomfortable. And it's free!

Just like other reviews said. Check in with valet, nice boys, you can stay up to 7 days. Very quiet. I didn’t check in the first night bc I arrived late in the night and left early, but I wasn’t bothered. I think you can buy a pool pass during the weekdays. Gas station and other restaurants within walking distance

This lot is 75% fenced off due to construction. Parking space is limited. Lots of helicopter noise, motorcycle noise and loud music during the night.

This is a huge paved parking lot with a lot of RVs. It’s easy to get onto I10 but it’s not noisy at all. It’s kind of far from the casino and we didn’t use their bathroom.

April 15th, 2023 by chinvarasopak

Quiet and felt secure in the lot. Parking lot is paved and fairly level. We didn’t use it, preferred the walk to the casino, but nice they valet will come pick you up if you call them.

Big parking lot where you can stay up till 7 nights after registering. There is security, very safe. 24h gas station with clean bathrooms close by.

Exactly as described! Checked in with Valet, got a receipt and stayed the night!

Great Spot. Follow valet parking signs to front of casino (highrise hotel). They will issue you a pass for up to seven days. Safe, almost level and free.

Stayed here overnight without an issue. There were a ton of other campers here. Casino is regularly patrolled by security, but they didn’t bother anyone in the camping lot. Great spot for a quick overnight

This place is amazing. Paved parking lot, very friendly valet staff (that’s where you get your pass). You can stay up to a week, then need to leave for a week, then come back. The valet told us they’re planning to add dump stations, pickleball, and showers in the future. They’ll even send a shuttle to your RV to bring you to the casino. Lots of dining options in the casino food court and outside. Well lit with security driving around. Felt very safe.

The actual RV Parking of the Casino. Flat Parkinglot. You can stay up to seven days.

We initially parked on the gravel lot by the road but a friendly security officer came along and told us to check in with the valet parking at the hotel. Easy process: you leave Name, telephone number and licence plate and get a permit for 72 hours and then get directions to the actual parking which is not the gravel parking lot that is NOT at the gravel lot but behind the hotel/casino next to a gas station - safe and well lit.

We parked between semi trucks on the dirt lot. Trucks come and go all night and they keep their engine running but it was fine for us and we felt safe. There was a police/security cruiser checking the area regularly

October 19th, 2022 by anaistorres.a

stayed a couple nights with no problems!! there's a gas station and mini Mart right access the street. pretty chill through out the night, the sounds of cars in the distance aren't overwhelming or anything.

Most rigs are parking in the paved lot right now, big rigs parking in the dirt area. Paved lot has lights on and activity all night as well as early morning construction. Would recommend dirt area for dark and quiet. Cell service. Dump station at travel center is now automated and $10.

Nice, quiet, and level in the back parking lot. 3rd place checking tonight. Walmart, then rest area and the Casino is far better. plan to check out breakfast in the morning.

February 6th, 2022 by rybinc

Security guard said we could park anywhere in the dirt lot and sleep. Also allows parking further in where it is more level and paved.

Several semi trucks and other RV’s on a Sunday night.

Can hear the train in the distance.

Great place to stay. We came in Saturday evening and left Sunday late afternoon. Note, this is NOT the overflow paved lot, but the dirt lot on the outskirts of the casino property (you'll see the semi's and other RV's). Quiet area with a great view of the mountains. Far enough away from the casino to feel like you're not casino camping. A friendly Public Safety officer for Morongo Casino let us know it's perfectly fine to stay in the lot.

January 29th, 2022 by Tucks' Truck

go straight to the back of the dirt area, we'll away from the road, we had a very peaceful night. no road noise. The site is on a little bit of a slope though. be prepared to level up.

January 28th, 2022 by daleenbell

Super clean, and safe! Great overnight spot. Free water, $10 pump out, dollar less with fuel prices. Tons of places to eat.

January 18th, 2022 by vagavaughans

As described, $15 to dump down at the travel center. lots of trucks tonight so there is a bit of noise. Heading over to the casino! wish me luck!

January 13th, 2022 by intisolsticio

Nice rest area on the way.
When arrived to the huge casino resort, I had to ask a security where to overnight, they direct you to either a small flat graveled area near the gas station, where the toilets are (24h) or the further enormous spot near the bowling.
We used the toilets and slept in the latter.
It’s quiet enough, though there’s noise from the installations, barely hears the trains though.
Overall a good place.

Stayed two nights. Felt safe. Dirt lot in back is quieter, but train noise woke us up every couple hours. Large dumpster at southeast end of dirt lot.

October 16th, 2021 by Mark Roberts

Nice big dirt parking area for RV's. A shuttle will pick you up right at your RV by calling 1-800-252-4499 and ask for the shuttle driver. The staff are friendly and most of the casino is non-smoking. The casino is fairly big and very nice.

May 18th, 2021 by pvazquez03

We stayed the night here, some large truck came and left but mostly quiet but it was windy at night. We parked in the back parking lot way in the back.

January 15th, 2021 by Don Davis

Easy access to the area. Best to part away from the pave parking lot. Semi truck park there and leave the fridge running. You can stay here free for 3 nights. There is also a free shuttle bus that will pick up and drop off. (1 888 667 6646) There is also a trash dumpster to trop off trash.

November 26th, 2020 by oddstuff

Good for a nights stop over.
Prob about 4 trains woke me, but soon off to sleep again.
Not sure if shuttle bus is running with Covid

If you go to upper gravel it's more quiet and not so much noise from pulling tracks. Also road noise is much more limited. Great spot for spending a night!

December 20th, 2019 by genieko

if you are facing the casino, the RV and Semi lot is the in back right. we rolled in around midnight and had no problem parking and we didn't see any staff. probably 30 other vehicles parked for the night, mostly large semis. 5 min walk to casino to reach bathrooms. I was pooped and slept well with ear plugs. my partner also had ear plugs but he could hear the train and additional trucks every few hours, though not terrible. felt safe and abundant parking, would definitely stay again.

November 15th, 2019 by daveonanInstagram

As previously described. A little noisy at sundown with folks pulling in for the night. I haven't heard the train nor highway, being half deaf does have a few perks. I'm getting a great AT&T signal, enough to turn my phone into a wifi hotspot and use my laptop to stream videos. The lot is fairly sloped for drainage, I had to use my leveling blocks to get right. Recommended for an easy overnight stop.

Très grand parking et le seul qui accepte les camping car. Les walmart sont interdit 😡

We stayed at the upper gravel lot as the main one was quite full of trucks and RVs.
Security just asked us if we were spending the night and took our van details.
In the upper lot there were just a few trucks.
Night was very quite, not much noise from the highway and didn’t hear a train during the night.

July 6th, 2019 by sophiekurman

we had troubling finding the lot at first but a nice security guard came up to us and directed us towards it. not many people were back there, it was pretty dimly lit and not loud at all. some wind but a nice breeze for nighttime! nice enough for a free spot at the casino
and not a bad view!
there is also a travel center back at the front that has a dump

October 4th, 2018 by scott_miller42

Stayed one night. Highway was a bit loud and the wind was almost continuous. You would have to walk a ways if you want to get to main casino as the rv/semi lot is hidden away behind the bowling alley!

December 7th, 2017 by albatros-on-tour.de

We stayed 2 nights. Noise from trains (3-4 each evening/night) was ok - not too loud.
WiFi at Casino.

December 3rd, 2017 by ed_font

Large parking lot. You need to walk a bit if you want/need to use the casino restrooms. You can call for the shuttle bus but you need a phone. Trains at night a bit noisy. Very windy this day/night.

January 30th, 2016 by vannatravels

A perfectly good place to overnight. There is a kind of field next to the RV parking lot, good for dog walks. I was parked there for over 12 hours and only heard one train. The noise was not a problem at all. They have a big buffet every night in the main casino if you like to eat! No toilets, no garbage at this site. Good ATT signal though. Gas station right on the way back to the freeway.

October 30th, 2015 by Tony LEE

Free Morongo Casino parking area set aside specifically for RVs.
24 hour security.
Free Shuttle bus (call phone number on notice) to bingo hall and main casino
Toilets available in adjacent bingo hall, as is a basic snack bar. Other restaurants available at main casino.
Train runs down the other side of the valley so expect the usual un-musical train horns cacophony played loud and long every half hour all day and all night.
