The El Capitan is a regular stop for us when traveling between Las Vegas and Reno. Usually we spend the night, but sometimes just stop in for a bite to eat. The casinos is a bit old and run down but it's clean and friendly. The coffee shop serves good American comfort food at a good price. The free RV parking area is paved and level. They also have a free dump station.
We like El Capitan and recommend it to others who are traveling through this area.

Everything that others have posted still applies. Easy place to pull in and camp free on your way through. We found the food in the cafe to be wonderful. The free dump site is a nice touch.

Stopped for lunch at EL CAPITAN in Hawthorn, Nevada on 04/01/08. Still have same free separate parking facilities for RV's and Trucks. Free dump station. The Trucks are required to turn off their engines within 15 minutes of parking. It is a city ordinance- signs all over the place. See photos. The food was standard coffee house fare.

Surprised you don't include the El Capitan Casino, 800-922-2311, "The Friendliest Stop Between Reno & Las Vegas," GPS: N38° 31.515', W118° 37.338', NE corner of US-95 and 6th St in the center of Hawthorne, NV.
They allow overnight RV parking for customers, in a separate area from trucker parking, a block E of the casino motel. They also have a free standard (flush water) dump station in the middle of the RV/Truck parking lot. Decent food.
We were just there 6-7-07 (at the Elks, across the street) and noted this RV parking and dump station are still good. Hawthorne, "America's Patriotic Home," has two excellent museums, the unique Hawthorne Ordnance Museum on US-95/E Street (main) on the N end of town, and the Mineral County Museum, one block W of US-95/E St on 10th St. The Veteran's Memorial Park on the N end, across from that museum, sports a huge American flag, the Hawthorne neon sign, and several unique bomb fin wind spinners. On Armed Forces Day in mid-May, they fly the largest American flag in NV, 79' x 40', see the bottom of www.nevadatroopsupport.com/id2.html . The McDonald's is to the E of the park. There are two RV parks in town, a nice new one near the Safeway, Whiskey Flats RV Park, www.whiskeyflats.net .
Stunning 11,239' Mt. Grant dominates the Wassuk Mountain Range to the W and Walker Lake to the N has several BLM boondocking sites along the shore of the lake below US-95. Neat town.
