Website: Casino Campgrounds
www.casinocampgrounds.com
Welcome to the website with the best up to date, in-depth
information on finding Casino Campgrounds. This online directory
will give you all the information you will ever need to find the
best casinos with campground facilities.
In our travels, we find the Casino Campgrounds to be newer,
with larger paved sites and usually full service with 50 amp and
cable at attractive rates. As each is different, be sure to ask
about access to the Hotel Services. (Pool, Jacuzzi, Fitness
Club, Comedy Club Shows, etc.) In most cases you will find
regular Shuttle Service to and from the Casino. Many Casino
Resorts have Golf Courses that are open to RV Park customers as
well.
This site is packed with information compiled from many
different sources. Use it for reference when planning your next
trip. Enjoy!

I have been a full-time RVer for 10 years, primarily "boondocking,"
camping free without hookups, in the Western US. I am connected
electronically with the world via satellite TV, cell phone and
internet card. My batteries are charged by solar panels.
Good Night Irene
by
Tim R. Enright
Sleeping while camping can be one of the greatest challenges of
being away from home. The more time you spend in your RV, the
more you will come to appreciate a good bed. From crawling into
a sleeping bag under the stars to sliding under the sheets of
king sized bed in a class A Motor Home, a good night’s sleep can
sometimes be hard to get.
There are several levels of comfort in sleeping while camping.
The most rustic sleeping arrangements start with laying out a
sleeping bag either under the stars or in a tent. This can be
somewhat upgraded to a folding cot or even an inflatable air
mattress.
Next up the comfort scale will require a migration from a tent to
an RV of some type. An RV will allow for a thicker foam mattress
than a cot will have. Some come with an inner coil mattress. Newer
designs supply you with an inflatable air mattress. The type of
mattress will depend on the frame that supports it. The better ones
will be found in main sleeping areas that have a permanent bed
frame.
Guest sleeping arrangements tend to be less comfortable. These
beds will usually double as sofas, chairs, tables or even walls.
RV’s with bunk beds are extremely popular. They come in a variety of
configurations. I have even seen some that more or less slide you
into a drawer.
At the top of the sleeping comfort scale are the beds that are
most like ones that you would find in a home. These units have
upscale inner coils mattresses or air mattresses. I have even heard
of water beds (to go with the hot tub, of course).
If you are looking to upgrade your sleeping conditions, you will
find many ways to do it. Some of them are: foam mattress covers
(fingers), mattress pads, inflatable mattresses, replacement inner
coil mattresses, to name a few.
When looking for a replacement or upgrade remember that the RV
industry tends to size beds smaller than the bedding industry. For
an example a RV queen size bed may be shorter than a regular queen
size bed. This is more than often the case. A new mattress will most
likely be quite a bit thicker than the one you are replacing. Make
sure you have room for where the replacement is going. It would not
be good to bring in your bed slide with your new mattress only to
find it buckle against the wall on the other side.
Sometimes you can make small modifications to your RV to allow
for a new bed. I actually removed the storage box below our bed to
make room for a queen size mattress to fit below a shelf at the head
of the bed. If need be you can purchase RV size beds at camping
supply stores or have them special ordered from retail stores.
Whatever your situation there is always a way to improve it.
After all we all need a good night’s ZZZZZZZZZZ.
