Wildhorse Resort & Casino

- from R. Green, June 2007

We have stayed at the Wild Horse Casino RV Park many times and have enjoyed it. There is a free shuttle to and from the Casino if you like. They have just done some remodeling and the new restaurant is now open. We have not been there since the remodeling but intend to get there soon. Also dry camping in the Casino back lot. There is also a motel that is quite nice if you prefer. Happy Camping!

We dry camped here for about five days visiting the casino, sightseeing and having some repairs done in Pendleton. The parking area is big, level and graveled. Because it’s so close to I- 84 many people use it as an over night stop. It’s gets busy but there was always enough room. Many of the motor homes appeared to be new and the owners didn’t seem to understand basic dry parking courtesy - generators running into the wee hours. One couple even left their diesel motor home running from 5:30am - 7:30 am while the wife went into the casino!

The casino is pretty big, good variety of machines and table games. They also have weekly Texas hold'em tournaments and three big yearly tournaments.

The Tamastslikt Culture Institute museum is very well done and worth a visit - $6.00 per person.

The information center in Pendleton has a dump and water fill station at the south end of the lot-donations.

Stayed here on 7-3 to 7-5, 2006. Rates for the campground are now $19.26 for 30amp or $21.40 for 50 amp. They give a discount Mon-Thu for Escapees, Good Sam, AAA, & AARP. I paid 52.00 for 3 nights under escapees, it would be the same for AARP. They give you 2 free cont. breakfast tickets each day of your stay. Stay is limited to 30 days. Laundry and restrooms open 24 hours as is casino and free shuttle.

They still allow dry camping in their lot and at the adjacent truck stop.

The buffet is pricy so did not partake. The Hot Rock Cafe, snack shop has good and reasonably priced food.

In August 2004 we pulled into the Wild Horse Casino, east of Pendleton, Oregon on the Umatilla Indian Reservation. The casino has a very nice full hookup RV park, with fees of $18 a night at that time. We saw several RVs parked on one side of the parking lot set aside for RVs, and the security guard said we were welcome to dry camp for free.

We decided to spend the money a full hookup site cost on a nice seafood buffet in the casino's dining room instead. The food was decent, though we've had better. We dropped a few bucks in the slot machines, with no luck. Casino is just off Interstate 84 with easy access and room for any size RV
