Konocti Vista Casino

report from reader T. O'Neill, February 2007

We have also stayed at the Konocti Vista Casino Resort, Marina and RV park in Lakeport, CA. Restaurant was ok. Had the prime rib buffet one time. The smart choice was a New York steak off the menu. There are 74 spaces with 50 amp service, washers/dryers and clean. We were met by the park host who was very helpful. We had been dry camping for days, so it was nice to have hookups. Blackjack didn't kick my backside like Cache Creek. I left with a few of their $$. There is a Best Western Motel on the grounds, stayed there once. Clean rooms with a very short walk to the casino. On the back side of the hotel is a nice patio area with boat ramp and quite often a bass fishing tournament. The location can be a little hard to find if you aren't paying attention.

Highway 175 to Konocti is an unpleasant route for long rigs. In fact, they don't allow rigs over 36' (i think that's the measurement). Our friend thought it would be fun to take that route while we took highway 20. He had a truck and 30' trailer. He said it was a tight squeeze for him. Some of the turns were quite tight. He only arrived 10 minutes before we did, so the stress factor (or backup factor!) is not worth the time difference!
