Paragon Casino Resort

RV park is excellent with long concrete pull through pads. The buffet is ok but the Steak House is wonderful but a little pricey, however, you get what you pay for with lovely linen tablecloths etc. The casino also has 2 or 3 movie screens where the latest movies are shown daily. Its an older casino but well maintained and the people are wonderful. We've stayed there many times and it is always the same.

This place is a gem. Very nice park, every spot has plenty of room, pool was nice. Did not use the laundry or bath house. This is probably the nicest casino campground we have seen. Shuttle comes around really often if you want to take it but it is only a short walk to the casino. We would definitely stay here again! They take Passport America, rate was $17.50 on weekends, $12.50 weekdays. No charge for Wifi and it worked well. We camped in a 40' Motorhome.

Big Rig Friendly RV Park remains in pristine condition and definitely the best appointed parks we have encountered. Secured, super clean with all the 5stars resort services. WiFi is extra but works fine. The casino buffet is excellent and the entire staff is very professional and friendly. At PA [Passport America] rate, this is the best deal ever.

All prior report still applies. Only drawback, the pool cleaning seem to be a challenge due to high occupancy and temperature. We stayed 5 days in a motorhome.

Went to Paragon Casino Resort twice, both times staying in the Hotel, but looked over the RV park closely and the facilities in the RV park. It is located in the little town of Marksville, LA. not far from Alexandria, LA and Lafayette, LA. RV park is nice. an Indian res. casino. nice. would recommend it. Has about the same as the Hollywood, only a wee bit better in certain categories. I like the people that run the poker room better at the Paragon. People overall seem friendlier. They have a movie theatre with several current movies going all the time. nice. I enjoyed it. They have an alligator man with live alligators, mostly young ones, turtles, in some beautiful pools under the main lobby/casino area. quite large and pleasant to see. have a show once a week with alligator man. Spa is very nice. I would rate it 8.25 overall.

This Big Rig Friendly RV Park remains in pristine condition and one the best appointed parks we have encountered. Full hookups at Passport America Rates-- 'Watta Bargain"! Security roams constantly and conveniently stops whenever someone on foot is spotted. The Casino staff phones for shuttles for you when you are ready to return to your rig.

Sites big, level and clean on concrete with concrete tables. Nice woods bordering the property gives one a feeling of privacy. Though a bit off the beaten track, it is truly one of the most pleasant places to stop, rest and play awhile in that part of the country. While there, they had a fantastic crawfish feast with live entertainment in the lower parking garage for $5, including your beer.

The only drawback at the time of the our visit was the unworkable wifi. Apparently, it is one of the pay wifi setups that the park management disavows any knowledge of and the provider tekkies can't figure out what's wrong. We got our fee refunded "on principal" as we refuse to encourage parks to charge for "services" that don't provide service. They are getting ready for a major expansion and we look forward to a return visit for the anticipated recreation and hope that they have changed wifi providers
