Yuma Casinos

003
   Warm winter weather and a close proximity to Mexico makes Yuma very popular with snowbirds. There are over 30 RV parks and acres of BLM boondocking land. Most of the Walmarts do not allow overnight RV parking but all three casinos do. Starting with the 2015/2016 winter season all of the casino are charging a small nightly fee and some are limiting the length of stay.

   The Quechan Casino, pictured above, has two large dirt parking lots. The lots start to fill by late afternoon so plan on a fairly early arrival to get a parking spot. This is the nicest casino of the three with a good ventilation system, new machines and easy to move chairs. It’s an uphill trek to the casino entrance. Quechan

   The Paradise Casino also has dirt lots for RV parking. They’re low lying and get flooded during rain storms but there’s always plenty of room to park. The casino is small and a little smoky. The side entrance has a sloped sidewalk and the doors are not automatic so it might be easier to use the main front entrance. Paradise

  Cocopah Casino has wide paved spaces for RVs. They’re numbered and there may be a small fee to stay overnight. We didn’t see any signs. We stayed the night and left about nine the next morning. Nobody came to sign us in but we noticed the most of the other RVs had hang tags. The casino is easy to get to from the RV lot. It’s fairy small and has very heavy chairs. Cocopah
