Located just across the Ohio River from Louisville, KY, this is a convenient spot for visits into Louisville, and only a few miles off the interstate, so it’s not a big detour if you’re only staying one night. This was previously a Caesars Casino and is now owned by Harrah’s.
As you can see in the photo, they have plenty of room for RV parking, and the photo only shows half the parking lot! It’s well lit and patrolled regularly by security. They will ask you when you arrive how long you plan to stay. A few days is fine, they just want to keep out the squatters. It does have a bit of a slope, but we didn’t need to use jacks. It can get a little noisy with the trucks coming and going, but there are shorter spaces on one side of the lot marked for RVs, about 45′ long and a truck won’t fit there. Note that it’s a LONG walk to the casino – probably a quarter of a mile (I kid you not).
The casino is fairly nice, and large, but it’s on a 4 deck dockside riverboat and there are lots of escalators. I actually got lost once and had to ask someone how to get out of the casino! There are several good restaurants and a buffet. FYI, smoking is permitted everywhere; casino and restaurants.
Other RV Friendly Casinos
There are four other RV friendly casinos in Southern Indiana that we weren’t able to visit on this trip. I’ll just list them here, and you can read what other travelers said about them at www.casinocamper.com
Argosy Casino, Lawrenceburg, IN
Belterra Casino, Florence, IN
French Lick Casino, French Lick, IN
Grand Victoria Casino, Rising Sun, IN
That’s it for the Midwest until next fall, and this is probably my last “Casino Camping Location Report” until at least next spring. Next week I’ll be talking about saving money while casino camping, and then I plan to post a gambling article.
Happy travels and good luck in the casinos!
