Small-Scale Casino, Fine for an Overnight

If you're in this part of NY State and looking for a spot to boondock for the night, this is not a bad choice. The lot is level and spacious. There is a large lawn, away from the parked cars, that was great for exercising the dog. There was strong cellular service for both Verizon and T-Mobile. If you like the trotters and you're there on race nights, again its a good stop. The casino itself is *very* small, offering...

Parking lot is the best attraction

For a safe, quiet spot to overnight for free, Presque Isle Downs is pretty darn good. Just off I-90, there is nice, straightforward access into a spacious, level parking area. We didn’t notice any designated area for oversize vehicles. We parked in the big lot near the entrance. There was no registration. Do NOT cross the little bridge to try to park closer to the casino and racetrack: there is nothing for you there. Across the bridge...

Being operated by Mohegan Sun sets it a cut above

This is another modest-sized casino that expands on an existing horse-racing track. Parking lots are on the casino side of a curved road that runs along one side of the race track, hotel, and casino. No registration was necessary. We did not see many security patrols, though the parking lots were actual close enough to the casino that we did not feel isolated. There were also frequent shuttles to the casino (in spite of it being no more than a...

Excellent if limited stopover

This is a modest-sized casino with slots and table games. We saw other RVs parked in section C, so that is where we parked. There didn't seem to be a need to check in with anyone. Very level. NIce and quiet overnight. Easy walk to casino. Casino personnel were very friendly. One thing we always like about dry camping at casinos is the ability to pull in late at night and still have eating options. Not so...

Decent, convenient stopover

We camped at Foxwoods in August 2012. RV parking is in the Rainmaker parking area. Finding it and getting to it is not hard. The area is of moderate size at best, especially when compared to nearby Mohegan Sun. We were at Foxwoods on a weekday and there was ample space to park; weekends might be more of a challenge. Most people seemed to favor parking along the perimeter; we had better luck getting level by parking crossways in the...

Some late night hijinks, but okay overall

We arrived on a Sunday afternoon and found the parking lot very crowded. The bus lot nearest to the casino is for buses only; we were directed to the lots beyond the valet parking and self-service parking for hotel guests. At the extreme end of the parking area is a large lot near an old (and picturesque) smelting plant. There are angled-in parking for oversized vehicles on either side of the lot. On the Sunday we arrived...

No special accommodation in this nice overnight spot

We didnt see anyone parked in the RV parking area past the asphalt lots for regular cars. Our small RV fit fine in two out of the way spaces in the asphalt lot. We even showed a picture of it in situ to a guard inside, who said he thought we'd be all right there, but that parking lot security might say different. Sure enough, at 7:30 in the morning, parking lot security asked us to move to the gravel...

Awesome parking, okay casino

The casino itself is medium sized, clean and handsome. We agree with the reviewer who says it is one of the nicer ones we have visited. It is easily walkable from all parking areas. Lots of slots, decent games. Non-smoking room is sort of an afterthought. Nice lounge, though a little unorganized: there were signs on the bar advertising the featured cocktail, a French 75; bar staff had never heard of the drink. They had...

Fine stopover spot in lower Florida

We stayed here on our way to the Florida Keys. Rvs were parked in the back in a nice open area. There were some grassy areas where we could walk the dog. The parking lot is very level and well lighted. We saw frequent security patrols, though none stopped to talk to us in the parking lot. Even so, we went inside to get our permit. That was a short process, and we enjoyed knowing that we were officially sanctioned....
