Chinook Winds Casino

Park- Using a Players Club Card go play- Accumulate 20 points then swipe your card at a kiosk to receive an Overnight Parking Voucher. Take the voucher to the Winners Circle. Need to know your site number and license plate number. They will fill out a form and give you a 1-night RV Parking Placard to be placed in your window. Have them put both you and your spouse on the form with each Winners Circle Card #. You can each accumulate 20 points and each can robtain a voucher (do it the day you gets the points or it will disappear from the kiosk)). Use 2nd voucher the next day (they are good for a week). I realize this sounds complicated but once you have learned the system it is an easy process. The form is only filled out 1 time as they use the back each time you surrender a voucher to record dates of stay for a full month- then a new form.

I found this to be a very nice stay. Big parking lot for rv's to park themselves but no 'marked' spots. Not level but I have blocks. WiFi???-Did not work for me. No antenna tv. Good beach access for a nice walk. Grocery and fuel readily available. Casino nice with good table games and lots of slots. Food seemed pricey so did not try.

Although they do allow RV parking overnight I wouldn't recommend it. The parking area is small and rough. We were very disappointed, didn't park there but drove to the adjacent Logan Road RV park, http://www.loganroadrvpark.com. It was $28 and that's more than we like to spend. We had heard about Spirit Mountain Casino a short distance away, and moved there the next night. It was great by comparison, a level paved area and free.

The casino road make a loop off of NW 44th and NW 40th Streets . The RV parking is next to the main casino parking. All of the other lots are clearly marked - NO RV Parking. The RV lot has large marked spaces.



It’s actually the worse lot for RVs because of a big dip going into the lot which causes many people to scrape bottom. The lot slopes every which way so if you don’t have levelers bring some extra boards.



The hotel faces a beautiful sandy beach that is easy to get to from the RV lot. The casino is fairly big with a good selection of slot machines, table games and restaurants.

I have been by the Chinook Winds three times and each time the RV parking area was full.

The last time I drove the motorhome into the overflow car parking lot which was 95% empty (I think it is used for staff parking). I was immediately challenged by a security guard in a pickup truck whom I told we were just going into the casino for lunch and an hour or two on the slots. We told him we would not stay overnight. He pointed to a small sign that said, "No RV Parking" and asked, "Didn't you see the sign?". I had not seen it and told him so. He told me the sign means what it says and I would have to park in the RV lot. I told him it was full and he said to try again tomorrow. We went on our way.
