report from -Sean Welsh,
November 22, 2008
http://OurOdyssey.BlogSpot.com
We stayed here last night (11/22/2008). While the
Casino Camper site had a quote from a casino employee indicating they had at
least some parking set aside for RV's, we found none when we arrived.
When we called the casino and described our vehicle, they directed us to
park in the bus loading/unloading area south of the parking garage. A
sign at the entrance to this lot says "Buses Only." There are four bus
stalls here, nose-in angle spaces designed to put the door of the bus right
at the sidewalk for passenger unloading.
Since we have a bus, we did not seem out of place in this spot, and only one
or two tour buses arrived last night (a Saturday) to pick up their groups.
Clearly, the drivers take the buses elsewhere while their groups are in the
casino, but I haven't a clue where -- there does not appear to be any such
place on the property.
The SEPTA transit bus stop is also in this immediate area, and transits came
and went all night. It appears the stop is used mostly by casino employees.
I suggest that you should not plan on staying here at Harrah's Chester
unless you are comfortable sleeping in what amounts to a bus station. It was
no problem for us, but I think I would have been much more self conscious if
my rig wasn't a converted bus to begin with.
We're not gamblers (well, I play a little black jack, but this casino has no
table games), so I can not comment on the gaming. We did eat, though, in the
high-end restaurant, The Cove, and found it quite
enjoyable, with good food and a great view.
Casino Camper Report, November 24, 2007 We had a report back in
May, 2006 that this new casino under construction would include a FHU RV
park. I received an email today from the casino's Advertising/Public
Relations Manager correcting this. They don't have an RV park and no
dump station; however they do welcome RVers to visit and have RV
parking spaces (Note: see Sean Welsh post above).
"...your website has listed
us as being a facility that includes full RV hook-ups when unfortunately not
the case. We welcome guests with campers and have the areas for camper
parking but do not have facilities to dump or replenish water, etc. We
received a complaint from a guest who read the posting on your site"
This brings up another topic
that I'll mention here. Please don't be upset with a casino when
information you find here isn't correct -- it's not their fault. The
information we have is from a variety of sources and is sometimes out of
date. Call ahead if you feel you must know before you go. Here's
a link to more casino parking
etiquette.

Casino Camper Report, February 2007 Al B., a reader of my
Casino Camping blog on RV.NET wrote and told me about this casino.
They allow overnight RV parking and will pick you up in their van and
transport you between the RV parking area and the casino.

report
from Mike, October, 2007
The Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs Casino located
in northeastern Pa allows RV's to park overnight in their parking lot. I
know this because I live very close and have asked if this was their policy.
They are easy to get to. Take exit 170 B off Interstate 81 and follow the
signs.
