PARAGON CASINO RV PARK - MARKSVILLE, LA

Well, I finally made it to the Paragon Casino in Marksville.  It was on my agenda last winter but I never did make it there.  The GPS took me down some pretty bad roads getting here from Holly Beach.  However, it is located not far from Interstate 49.  Going home should be a whole lot easier.

Slept well last night.  Let the generator and A/C run all day yesterday and all night last night.  I probably burned up $30 worth of gas but it was worth it to be comfortable.  It was really hot at the beach.

I was the only one on the beach each night I slept there.  Everyone left by 9:00pm.  I thought that the people in the camper would stay overnight but they didn't.  It was kinda freaky but I could see people in their camps along the beach so felt reasonably safe.  It was worth it to see the sun come up over the water this morning.  I walked the beach without the dogs and took it all in.  Not sure I'll ever be back there again.



Left Holly Beach this morning around 10:00 and arrived in Marksville around 2:00 this afternoon.  The RV park is located behind the casino and it is really big with over 200 RV pads with full hookups.  With my Good Sam's card I paid $17.00 a night.  I paid for 2 nights but may stay longer.  There is a shuttle that comes by every 15 minutes to take you to the casino but I could easily walk there from my RV spot which is also near the pool and other amenities.  There are some really cute little cabins that rent for $50.00 a night.  Motorized vehicles like bikes, scooters, and golfcarts are allowed.  Every pad also has a cement picnic table and benches as well as its own shade tree.  How cool is that?


 I put out my awning and 2 chairs and fixed some lunch.  Walked the dogs and then it started to rain.  I'm too tired to go to the casino tonight but I will tomorrow.  I'll be missing the all you can eat crawfish that's offered every Wednesday but that's OK.  I rarely eat out but do plan on enjoying some of their food during my stay here.  I'm not a gambler and if I do play the slots it will be for nickles and dimes.  I'll be just as happy walking around and watching others play.

It's good to be back on full hookups.  Can't wait to take a long hot shower.

      Hi Nan... LOL! But you're not considering how cold I keep the RV. It's freezing in here - just the way I like it. I also have a fan blowing on me all night long in the bedroom. Love it!

    That looks like a nice corner site an $15 is a good price for full hook-ups.

      Hi Chuck and Anneke... If you like to visit casinos then this RV park is a good deal. It's so big that there is a lot of space between folks who are camping. There are empty spots all around me which I like.
