Minnesota Casinos Three ways to find an RV Friendly casino: 1. Use the table below 2. click to browse all MN casinos 3. Find a casino on the Google Map of Minnesota
Note: July 19, 2008: While doing research for a blog post to the Official Blog of the Open Road I discovered that many more Minnesota casinos are RV Friendly. Of the 19 casinos I was able to locate, all but one had either an RV park, or allowed free overnight RV parking. The one without RV accommodations is Canterbury Park horseracing track. I'll get the website updated soon, but until then I wanted readers to have this information.
General Note: This table is a quick reference, look at the footnotes below, and read the reports for more detailed information.

Minnesota Casino Camper Reviews
This section contains information specifically about RVing from our own experience and directly from readers. Organized alphabetically by City and Casino Name.
Cass Lake
- report from A. Van, August 2006 Relatively small casino of a half dozen BJ tables and 500 or so very up to date slots. Adjacent to the casino is a RV parking lot with about 20 spaces with electric service. Water and dump station available.

Deer River
report from John and Joie, September 2007 White Oak Casino is a very small casino in Northern Minnesota that was opened in August of 2000. The casino has one Black Jack table, a small snack area, a bar, and is mostly slot machines. Free water is provided to the players.
On the western edge, of a nicely paved parking lot, is a well marked RV parking area. I counted three free 30 amp hookups. The RV parking spaces are about 15 feet wide.
We did not stay here other then to try our luck at the Casino. Which turned out to be no luck at all. Granite Falls
- report from Rick & Lucky Lucy, July 15, 2008 Their RV park is fairly new, just a couple years old and
is in excellent condition. However, we thought the sites were a little
pricey for the area -- $26 and no coupons or rebates. They did offer full
service including wi-fi but The facilities are in the middle of nowhere and are a little difficult to find. We had no cell phone coverage for either our AT&T or TRAC phone. The casino is a pretty good hike from the RV park on a hot summer day and in spite of the claim to offer free rides we saw no shuttle bus. We really didn't care for this place and thought the RV park overpriced for what they offered. - report from J n J, October 2006
Just a FYI. I stayed in the Prairies edge casino, Minnesota RV park
and I will highly recommend the park, it's located next to the casino 3-5
minute walk or take the shuttle.
Park is concrete pads and blacktop with grass
in between sites with pull-thru and
Hinckley
- report from A. Van, August 2006 Large casino operated by the Grand for an Indian tribe. Over 2,000 slots and about 50 tables. 5 restaurants, several hotels and a golf course. Large parking lot with ample big rig parking.
There is also an RV park associated with and adjacent to the casino. The park is a carbon copy of the Grand's Tunica, MS park. About 250 angled back in sites with full hookups (50/30 amp) including cable. Sites are paved including paved patio with grass and a tree between sites. Interior roads are also paved. Shuttle service 24/7 to casino (@ every 20 minutes.) Large clubhouse with nice seating area, game room, laundry (small for the size of the facility), convenience store and very large outdoor pool w/patio. I noted 6 free, open Grand RV Park WiFi connections available at our site. Park is open year round. Summer rates are $19.95/day ($22.95 Fri/Sat) and $12.95/day winter (Oct through April). Good Sam and Escapees discounts available.

- A reader's report, August 2006 We've stayed at Grand Casino Hinckley, Minnesota several times over the last few years. The Casino Campground has full 30/50 amp hookups with a pool, children's playground and is about a quarter mile from a very nice casino. The Casino is located about 70 miles north of Minneapolis/St Paul on Interstate 35
Morton
- report from Rick & Lucky Lucy, July 15, 2008 The casino has added a new section to their RV park and now offer full service including wi-fi and cable TV. The price is $20 (no tax) but they give you a $5 coupon if you have a player's card (one per day per RV site). The older section is $15 plus $5 coupon ( no cable TV but may be able to pick off wi-fi). The new campground is well laid out with most sites being pull-through. Interior roads are blacktop and the camping sites are concrete, wide and level. Both sections of the RV park are within easy walking distance of the casino. We enjoyed half price Tuesdays at the buffet (need 15
points on your player's card to be eligible) and the food was pretty decent.
Wednesdays are senior day with $5 cash coupon for each of us (same 15 points
makes for eligibility). We were here on Lucky Lucy's birthday and they gave
her an additional $5. All the cash coupons combined paid for our RV spot for
the night. - Richard and Joanell April 2007 Nice, little park. The scenery isn't much to look at and it can be noisy with the casino air handling system nearby. Full hook up for $15/day during the week and $20/day on the weekends. If you join the players club and stay in the RV park you can get a coupon book every day with a $5 cash payout and $4 on your players card which effectively reduces the cost to $6/day during the week and $11/day on the weekends. We found it to have the best seafood buffet we've eaten at and a fantastic breakfast buffet. We stayed here a little over 2 weeks.

report from John and Joie, September 2007 Grand Casino Mille Lacs overlooks the shores of Lake Mille Lacs, in the heart of Minnesota’s vacationland. The lake provides year-round recreation, including boating, swimming, golf, and world-class walleye fishing. Grand Casino Mille Lacs offers more than 1,500 video slots, dozens of blackjack tables and live bingo six days a week. They also feature some of the biggest names in entertainment. Casino hosts four on-site restaurants including the Grand Buffet, and The Woodlands Steakhouse.
Overnight parking is allowed in an area which is under 24 hour surveillance. In addition, the security guard drives thru the area routinely. The casino is a short walk away from this parking area. No hookups are provided. The parking lot is graded to run water away, so leveling may be required.
One of the more friendly casino's we've been in. Tuesday is senior day (55 and over) and rooms go for $30/night plus there are coupons for free ice cream, match play(s) and, discounts on food. Tuesday is also $2 blackjack day.

Note from Cheryl: No bars or alcohol beverages allowed in the casino or hotel. There is also NO Cigar or Pipe Smoking allowed.
-Report from Karen B. July 2007 There's only one parking lot where overnight dry camping is allowed. It's located at the campground office and there's a $10.00 a night charge. If you need hookups the campground is really nice between $30.00 - $40.00 a night. Follow the signs for RV parking. Everything is well marked. It's a short walk to the casino and there's also a shuttle which runs frequently. Dry campers have access to the dump station and can get fresh water at an unoccupied RV site. The office also has free WiFi which worked great for us in the parking lot. I don't think that the signal is strong enough to work in most of the campground. The casino is very big with every type and denomination of machine available. The video poker pay tables looked better than what we have been seeing in other Indian casinos but by state law the pay out percentage for VP must be between 83% and 98% so they're limited by that.
Mystic Lake Casino Dry Camping area - photo from Karen B.
-Report from Cheryl, May, 2007 On our return home from South Dakota to Michigan we stayed at the Mystic Lake Casino in Minnesota. That was a great place. The RV park Dakota Meadows was really really nice. We enjoyed it so much that we went back before the summer was over even though I think it's open year round. The layout of that RV park was well planned. It has all the amenities including, storm shelters, gas pumps, RV wash, access to a health spa, accent lighting, concrete paved site that are level and a great view of the casino (which is really pretty at night). Didn't win any money in the casino, but we still enjoyed it.
- report from A. Van, January 2006 Dakota Meadows RV Park, southwest of Minneapolis, part of Mystic Lake Casino. Great CG. Full H/U; 50 amp svc., Paved level sites on tiered hillside. Full RV service including fuel and RV wash bay. Side by side sites.

Red Wing Area
-Report from Karen B. July 2007 Follow the signs for the campground. It's $18.00 for full hookups and free for dry camping. The dry camping area is along the grass on either side of the campground office. They didn't require any information from us and said that there is no time limit on dry camping. The only restriction is on generator use.. There's an overflow parking lot to the left of the main entrance if you want to dry camp and use a generator. There's a $5.00 fee to use the dump station. Water fill is either at the office or at any unoccupied site. The campground has free WiFi but using it's a little iffy. Sometimes the signal was strong and everything worked great , other times it wouldn't stay connected. It also required us to reauthorize our use every morning at 10:00 which was just one click but it kicked us off for a second and we would lose whatever we had been working on. It's a short walk to the casino and there is also a shuttle. You must call for the shuttle from a dedicated phone on the outside of the office building. Security patrols the campground on a regular basis. The casino is big with a lot going on. There are two bingo sessions daily , poker rooms and Texas Hold'em tournaments twice a week , a golf course and a marina with dinner cruises on the Mississippi River. The casino appears to have been added on to through the years so it rambles a bit and has several areas with table games and many different sections of video poker along with slots. We arrived a few days before the annual pow wow so we decided to stay to see it. We had never attended a pow wow and really enjoyed it. The outfits and dancing were wonderful. However the campground which had many empty spaces earlier filled completely so make reservations if you plan to attend and need hookups. The photograph shows both the dry camping area and the full hook up sites.
Treasure Island Casino RV Parking -- Photo from Karen B.
-Report from Cheryl, May, 2007 Last year on June 10, 2006 we were on our way to South Dakota from Michigan, we stayed over night at the RV park at Treasure Island. The RV park had blacktop roads but the sites were gravel. They had a 95-pad RV park complete with all the hookups, including water, sewer, and electricity. • 20, 30 and 50 amp service Check-out The RV park and restrooms were very clean. The staff was very nice. The casino was good size, over 2500 slots. We were there on a Saturday night so as you can expect it was sort of crowded. I can't say anything about the food because we ate in our RV. We didn't stay at the casino long because we were tired, but if I am in the area again, I would definitely stay there again.

report from John and Joie, September 2007
Newer Casino that is becoming one of our
favorites (wife won $$.) Casino staff is very helpful and friendly. Casino
has a snack area, buffet area, and upstairs a fine dining restaurant.
Security kept an eye on the RV parking area which is both well lighted and
level.
- report from A. Van, August 2006 New, modern casino with a dozen BJ tables, poker and 1,000 up to date slots. Large parking lot. Designated area for overnighting RVs at the SW fringe of the parking lot. 30 spaces with electric.
Northern Lights Casino RV Parking -- Photo from reader A. Van
-CasinoCamper Report, August 2006 A report on our Yahoo Group tells of 24 free sites with electric, first come first served. Sites are narrow, so it's typical for rigs to park in every other site so they can open slides. No room for awnings.
