Downstream Casino

Report from Rick & Lucky Lucy
During our most recent visit in October, 2010, we noted changes in the Downstream Casino camping policy. The casino no longer offers unlimited free camping at their facility. As stated in an earlier message some campers looked like squatters taking advantage of the offer and abusing the privilege.

Free camping with hook-ups for water and electricity is still offered but limited to three days. Any time over three days is charged $15 per day. It must be working for there were fewer campers and plenty of spaces available. On a visit last year (Oct 2009) the place was full and some campers did, indeed, look like long term residents.

There is no registration or check in. A shuttle driver told us they keep track of the RVs and after three days the camper will be asked to pay a fee or move on. The rules posted stated the camper must have a players card for the free camping but no one checks.
