New York 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.
Canandaigua
The racetrack and casino allows RV parking with restrictions. We stayed in the lot at Canandaigua, but had to be "out" by ten the next morning. The casino closes at 2 in the morning. The only eateries are deli type things, but good food, although expensive. - readers J & N Felicita, February 2006
Hogansburg
Akwesasne Mohawk Casino 518-358-2222, 877-992-2746, www.mohawkcasino.com 873
State Route 37
- report from Karen B, August 2007 There's a sign directing trucks to a large gravel lot to the left of the casino so we followed the example of the other RVers and parked in the gravel lot to the right of the casino. Both of these lots are huge. The casino is medium size and an entire half of it is non-smoking. It has a good variety of slot machines in all denominations. There are a couple of dozen tables and fair amount of poker machines but no good pay tables. There's new shopping plaza with a large IGA just across the road from the casino.

Niagara Falls (Canadian side too)
Reported on the Casino Camper Yahoo! Forum
Len, a reader of our forum, posted two items of important information. First, he said in a visit last year (2006) he found no RV parking available. Second, he warned of a low clearance at the exit ramp to the largest casino, probably a little more than 12 feet, that was not clearly marked.
It looks like anyone planning a trip to the Niagara Falls area should probably get out a Woodall's or Trailer Life directory. -Mac
Seneca Casino
-Report from Cheryl, May, 2007 On May 4, 2007 we went to Seneca Casino in Niagara Falls, New York. Although the security guard said that it was okay to park your RV in the back parking lot near the back fence, I wouldn't trust it. There was not enough room and it didn't look too safe to me.
On the Canadian side:
Fallsview Casino located in Niagara Falls
Ontario Canada, no RV parking area.
Salamenca
Seneca Allegany Casino, (716) 299-1100, (877) 553-9500, www.senecaalleganycasino.com
NO Overnight RV Parking - readers J & N Felicita, February 2006 We were turned away from staying overnight. They are building now so maybe soon one can stay.
Verona
Villages at Turning Stone RV Park 5218 Patrick Road, Verona, NY 13478 800-771-7711, www.turning-stone.com
RV Park - seasonal only RV Overnight Parking off season - see reports below for discussion - report from Fred H., June 27 2008 I would like to respond to the report about the Turning Stone Casino Free RV and Truck parking from Len G., February 2008. We strongly disagree. Over the last 5 years we have spent many happy days and nights at Turning Stone Casino's huge Security Patrolled "overflow Parking" blacktop lot. I venture to say it's as safe as any parking lot in the USA. We always make a habit of stopping there when we are nearby. There are two separate parking sections and usually the 18 wheelers park on one side and the RV's on the other. There are numerous large all weather shuttle waiting areas with phones to call for the free shuttle service. We have never waited more than 25 minutes for the shuttle. The Casino is about two miles away and similar to most larger well run Indian casinos. The buffet is 4 out of five stars and consistently good and very reasonably priced if you get in before 4 PM for dinner. The payout is poor like most Indian establishments. They have a large Bingo following and most come away happy even if they are a bit lighter in the money department. The Turning Stone is billed as a resort and has lots to do beside gambling. Most RVers spend 2 or 3 days in the overflow lot. There is no time limit posted and have never seen anyone abusing the parking privilege in any way. Another bonus is there is a Indian run convenience store / gas station at the far end of the truckers side of the lot. Right across the street is the Indian truck stop with the lowest priced fuel in NY. Vernon Downs a Trotters racetrack / Casino is about 5 or 6 miles down the road and also allows overnight parking. Vernon Downs lot is sub par compared to the Turning stones but I hear the Casino is a bit looser as far as winning. It's a much smaller establishment. Turning Stones year round parking lot is easy to
find right off exit 33 of I-90 the NYS Thruway turn North at the exit on RT
365 and its about 1/4 mile on the right. The Savon gas and diesel stations
are on the corners. We parked here may times in our 40 ft Monaco
Dynasty the last time being July 10th 2008. -report from Len G., February 2008 Their campground is a seasonal operation only. They will direct you to a remote parking lot for truckers only if you stay the night off-season. We were not impressed, especially when there was ample empty parking space near the casino during the week. It was 90 minutes minimum for a shuttle ride. Not patrolled, not a secure area to park. We were in a 24 ft class C, little bigger than an oversized van. -report from reader Sue B., June 2006 We stayed at the RV campground associated with Turning Stone Casino in Rome, NY. It was a really nice place, loads of things to do for the kids you bring, a stocked fishing pond, clean well kept sites. It even has various hiking trails and a bird sanctuary. The trails are not long at all. Sites can be paid for by points from your casino card. BUT the odds of winning were very bad. I did not see anyone winning big jack pots, and you have to get a players card, they put your money on the card and when that is finished, you can get more money put on the card. At the end of the night you can cash out your card. The tables do not accept the card, they want cash, so it's a catch 22.
- report from reader T. Norton, February 2006. Turning Stone has an excellent camping facility. Free shuttle to the Casino which is about a mile from the park. Even if you don't enjoy casinos this is a great park. Public areas and restrooms were all very clean. Paved streets and sites, full hookups, cable TV. It's a good place to explore nature with hiking trails, a pond etc.
- report from reader A. Van, January 2006. East of Syracuse 5 star park associated with Casino. Wide pull thrus. Nice landscaping & ponds. Paved level sites. Good (small) laundry. Well maintained. Some sites have instant phone service. $28.
