- Report from our YAHOO group, October 2007

Spirit Mountain has a free dump station. You have to go inside to get the code for the gate

- report from Rick and Lucky Lucy, July, 2007

Leaving the coastal highway we headed east to Grand Ronde to the Spirit Mountain Indian casino. The casino is the largest in Oregon and they court RV business. One large paved parking lot was devoted entirely to RVs, had stripes painted on the pavement of RV length, ran shuttle buses through the lot, and provide a dump station. All we had to do was register with security and we were in.

Lucky us, we hit them on seafood buffet night (Wednesday) and a bargain at only $15 each. Very popular with the locals and there was quite a waiting line. But they had "take a number" system so customers could go off and do other things while they were waiting (like gambling for instance). As we stood in line (when our number came up) we noted several trophies touting the skills and abilities of the chiefs in cooking seafood. This was encouraging and proved to be true. There was lots of seafood dishes but the highlight was the steamer clams and pan fried oysters. We packed away lots of good stuff and I can't recall eating any vegetables, salad, or bread -- just clams, crab, and oysters.

Unlike Washington casinos, they had real VP machines and a few even had decent payback schedules.

Some time ago I spent a night at the Spirit Mountain Casino in Oregon. It has a large, flat, quiet RV Parking area with security for dry camping. I played slots for a while and then started "lurking" around the Blackjack tables. Even after hours of watching Texas Hold'em on TV I am still not confident of my ability to keep up to the speed of the game so had never actually sat in on a live game. The dealer at the low limit table invited me to take one of the empty seats and I said no, telling her that I would just slow things down. She laughed and said everyone at the table were regulars and no one would mind.

Well, I had a great time! She basically taught me how to play the game. She told me how to bet, when to walk away and how important it was to watch her hand. I didn't win that night but the lesson didn't cost me too much either! It turned out to be much cheaper than playing the slots and I got to talk to some nice people.

I would rate the Casino as VERY RV friendly!

We moved here from Chinook Winds.  Nice level spot for dry camp parking and you can stay several days.  I was told there was not a time limit (within reason).
