Grants, NM

 

 

Almost all of the Indian casinos around the country that we have stopped at have some sort of area set aside for the RV traveler.

Some are just barren, unpaved lands, where it’s free to boon-dock. Others are a little more modern and have paved parking areas, but you still have to boon-dock.

Then there are the ones that offer some hook-up facilities. They still may be free but you will have to qualify. Qualifying is normally the simple process of obtaining a casino playing card.

Near Grants, NM we found one of the latter. It’s The Dancing Eagle Casino & RV Park. The fee there is $10.00 for a FHU site within a gated parking area. And that’s what it will cost you if all you want to do is pull in and park in a safe area overnight. If you decide to walk over to the casino you might as well get a players card because it will get each new patron a $10.00 coupons for free fuel at the pumps at their Travel Center. It will also get you a two for one dinner coupon. There is no obligation to use any of your own money while parked at the RV park. However, It must be your first time to sign up for a card there to receive the coupons. If you want to bypass staying in the FHU RV park you can stay free in the unpaved boon-docking area. We stayed two nights in the RV park. Got our two for one meals, played some slots and got our $20.00 of free fuel on departure.

This is a true Indian reservation with a large percentage of employees and casino players being Indian. The prices in the smallish shops and food stores surrounding the RV park was very reasonable and no taxes. The people we had contact with were friendly and eager to talk with travelers. We enjoyed our short stay and will stop again if ever in the area.

If you have children traveling with you there is a Family Fun Center completely detached from the casino. It is very modern and has a nice snack bar.
