Golden Acorn Casino

We asked the security guard in front of the casino where to park (Driving a 30 foot Class C E450 towing a F150 pickup). He said anywhere we want and suggested the outer edges of the parking lot. Perfect spot to spend the night. Great cell phone coverage on both T-Mobile and Verizon. We didn't care much for the casino itself. It's one big room filled with slot machines (I prefer table games) Also, it was thick with smoke in the casino.

Saw billboard along highway advertising free play in casino with purchase of 50 gallons of gas at their Travel Center- could not read it all as we were going down the highway at 60 miles an hour..... Pulled in and asked gas station attendant for details. He stated that we would receive a $10.00 slot play on our card for every 50 gallons of gas we put in our RV. Pumped gas and took our stamped receipts to the Cashiers cage in casino and was told "NO" (not very nice tone either) - only for Truckers. When we told her what the gas station attendant stated- "Don't care what you were told- only for truckers". Had a hot dog , played a little slots and left....

report from Bill, November 2007

I stayed overnight at Golden Acorn Casino. It is 60 miles East of San Diego and only about ¼ mile off I-8. I called ahead and was told they cater to Rv’ers. The casino is small and exceptionally clean, there is a small restaurant, mini mart, and gas station. All prices are very reasonable. The parking lot is large and the entire north end is level and well lighted. I would definitely recommend this as a stop over for the night or just a rest stop.
