Ojibwa Casino has seven free campsites with 20-30-50 amps. The sites are long back-ins on mostly level dirt and grass and are partly shaded, but we were able to use our satellite dish. Sites are first-come, first served, so try to arrive before noon to get a site. The casino is located on highway 28 about 10 miles east of Marquette. There is no time limit on how long campers stay. The casino is small and they have a big parking lot and it is OK to boondock in the lot overnight or to wait for an open site. But most of the parking lot is unlevel.

We stayed here overnight in August 2007. They have free RV sites with electric hook-ups, but they are only back-in sites. We have a motorhome and tow a vehicle, so we didn’t want to unhook just to back into a site for one night. We asked about parking overnight in their parking lot, and were told that we could. The casino is small, so the parking lot is not that big. The lot was not even half full, so we had plenty of room to park away from the cars.
 
There are more slots than table games, and no poker room. The 2004 Casino Camping guide mentions $1. Blackjack tables, but the lowest we found was $5. We were there on a Wednesday, so maybe the $1 tables are open only on the weekends. There is a bar, but no sit down restaurant, just a small counter service offering hot dogs, fries and such.

We stayed here on 8/7/08 & found the review below correct except there is now 3 poker tables. The Back in sites are very long for Big Rigs.

This casino is preparing for a huge addition. The RV Park was due to be shut down on July 24, 2017 but actual date depends on equipment arriving. There was mention of a new RV park as well as a hotel, entertainment center and much larger casino. There were 6 RV sites available when we arrived....one already had commercial trailer in it. Look forward to going back when work is done. Hope they keep the daily free play vouchers for RV Park use.

As per the previous review this casino is very RV friendly, long sites (80 feet) that will accommodate any size rig, electric only, no limit on how long you can stay for free. No problem Memorial Day weekend in getting a site, there were always 2 or more available. Very friendly staff, I asked one of the security guys where I could get a water fill up and he told me to find him and he would run a hose out to the front of the casino for me to fill up. There is a campground 1/2 mile south that will allow you to use their dump station and water fill up for a charge of $15.

The sites were not so much dirt sites but compacted sand that drained very well even after heavy rain. My wife was expecting us to drag dirt in to our rig if it rained but we were very surprised that this did not happen due to the sand draining instantly. Our two small dogs had a great run area right behind the sites on a sand dune, also there is a superb dog friendly beach again just 1/2 mile south on M-28.

This is a smaller type of casino so does not have a restaurant but it does have a snack bar serving hot dogs, burgers sandwiches etc. Now here is a rarity if you go to guest services and ask for the RV package your stay is still free but they give each member of your party $5 cash (not tokens actual cash) a free alcoholic drink ticket and two black jack coupons that when used on a winning $5 hand will pay you $ 10 instead of the normal $5. All tickets are valid on day of issue only so you have to go in everyday and re-register. I have been to many casino campgrounds and stayed for free but this is the first one that has ever paid me to stay, everyday. Also they have 50 cent roulette with $ 10 limit inner and $25 outer.
