Longstreet Inn Casino & RV Resort

We stayed here for 7 nights while visiting Death Valley National Park: the casino is the first thing you see as you drive north past the east Route 190 entrance to the park and cross into Nevada. You park your rig to the right side of the fuel pumps and the propane refill station while you check in at the front desk, which is immediately on your left when you enter the main casino doors. They gave us the option of taking a site near the building or further away where it was less crowded. We chose the latter, putting us on the northwest end of the campground, with a decent view of the mountains located in that direction. As you drive down the gravel road leading to the campground, you'll pass a "petting zoo" on your left containing a couple of mules, a goat, a sheep, and some sort of ox or bull

The campground is simply a gravel lot with one short row of back-in spots and two longer rows of pull-throughs. Each site has full-hookups one-third of the way from the back of the site, with a lidded below-ground water spigot, and a waist-high globe lamp that comes on when it gets dark. There are no picnic tables or fire rings. Every few sites there are large trash cans which are emptied every Monday and Thursday morning, and a few sites have a single tree between them but none large enough to provide any real shade.

The casino/hotel is the cultural center of the campground. You can reach the casino from the campground via a short flight of wide shallow steps or a concrete ramp that goes by three dumpsters. Either route brings you to a grassy yard surrounding an artificial pond fed from multiple cascading fountains, full of statues and sculptures of different styles. There is an outdoor pool and soaking spa on the left (open seasonally). In addition to the slot machines, the casino also contains a cafe restaurant, a gas station-sized convenience store (open 24/7), and more statues and exhibits.

The best place to walk dogs is in the grassy area: just mind the goose poop and the ducks/geese that hang out in the pond. There is another artificial pond with some palm trees on the opposite side of the campground from the casino that is a good second choice. After that, your remaining choices are the dirt areas on the edge of the campground, and the areas of dirt with short ground vegetation tend to have prickly goatheads on the ground.

In terms of cell service, the best bandwidth I saw on my Verizon Jetpack with MIMO antenna showed 7 Mbps down and 3 up, but there were enough prioritized Verizon users nearby to make the service too slow to be usable except very early in the morning. The speed test I ran on my 5G AT&T smartphone showed 43 Mbps down and 22 up, and AT&T was reliable throughout our stay. We were one site away from the nearest WiFi router, and the WiFi was okay for web browsing and even short video content most of the time: I recorded 11 Mbps down and 4 up.

A good stopover campground. All gravel yard and site. Full hookup pull-through sites. Casino, cafe, restaurant and gas station all in one with the RV campground. Pool was not officially open, but the hot tub was. Lots of birds (geese and ducks of all sorts) at the pond, as well as a petting zoo. Was able to get a weak Verizon Jet Pak connection, but was not able to get data off my phone from Verizon. Roaming area for Verizon. No picnic table or fire pit/ring.
Positives:
+ Quiet campground
+ Level gravel site with full hookups
+ Bathrooms and showers are in the Casino, which are fairly close
+ Tasty food at the cafe and they have a large convenience store in the Casino
+ Fuel pumps at the Casino, which are quiet a bit less expensive than in the NP. As of my stay, it was close to $4 less per gallon at Longstreet compared to Furnace Creek Gas Station, which was at $9.99! per gallon.
Negatives:
- Sites are somewhat close together. You can park a pickup along site your trailer and still have a little bit of room before encroaching on your neighbor's site
- Due to the gravel yard, there is a little dust if folks drive too fast
- No picnic table or fire ring
- Pool was closed, as was their steakhouse restaurant. The cafe was good enough though.

Full hookups, nice cafe, gas available, showers and laundry facilities in the hotel/casino. Terrible dust storm in Death Valley today so we came out here. Windy and some blowing dust but not nearly as bad as in the park. Beautiful views, friendly people and tasty food at cafe. The rate of 33.50 includes all taxes and the Good Sam discount. Sites are roomy in the gravel lot and easy to access. Nice place!

This is a nice base to visit Death Valley if camping at the park doesn’t work out for you. It is 45-60 min or so to the sites southeast and up to Furnace Creek. Nearest grocery is 27 mi away but there is a convenience store and restaurant onsite in a pinch. Casino consists of slot machines in the quirky lobby full of western antiques. Laundry was handy but cost me $18 for 3 loads. Loved the duck pond and the view of mountains from the RV. Very quiet and peaceful. Able to stream with WiFi.

Location: Used as home base to visit Death Valley, Ash Meadows, and Rhyolite. Worked reasonably well, was a 45 minute or longer drive to any place. I'm not sure there are many other options aside from staying in the park itself that would have been ay better since the NP is so large and spread out.

Site: Clean, well run, well spaced out, great view, very quiet.

Wifi: Was both best and worst I've experienced. Was strong signal throughout, reasonably fast, but frequent jitters and disconnects made video conferencing for work impractical. Audio only worked sometimes.
Unfortunately, did not get any cell signal in area as a backup so MiFi hotspot, text messaging, and cell phone tethering was ineffective.

Driving in late on our way from Denver to Death Valley we needed a place for the night and a place to do a few hours work the next morning with Wi-Fi and/or cell service. Based on the Campendium review we came here. Mostly large RVs and motorhomes but our pop-up fit in fine. Got 15 MB Internet service and good Verizon cell service. Showers inside were clean and good. They even gave us towels and shampoo at the front desk. We did not eat here but they have a restaurant that was busy. They have gas pumps, propane, and a decent RV type grocery store. Being just across the state line in Nevada from California there is a bar and casino. Quiet at night. No fire pits.

If you want to visit Death Valley and are unable to camp in California, this location right over the border in Nevada is a good choice.

We chose this location as a plan B when our Furnace Creek reservations were cancelled due to state conditions. Since Death Valley National Park was still open for exploration during the day, the Longstreet Casino offered decent proximity (about a 50 minute drive),
as well as access to the Rhyolite Ghost Town and several other attractions we planned for our itinerary.

RV sites are mostly pull thru on a gravel and dirt combo lot. There are also a few back in sites. Full hook ups are offered here. The only thing that wasn’t working for us was the cable TV, which was just as well since we don’t travel with the intention of watching TV. The landscape surrounding the campground is a large barren patch of land, quite beautiful actually if you appreciate southwest topography. We found the campground to be very quiet during our stay.

Inside the casino is a modest mini market with mostly snack type foods, sodas and assortment of several other items for purchase. A modest casino, bar and restaurant round out the indoor offerings.

Outside, there is a 24 hour fuel station and access to propane. And the kiddies will like the small petting zoo with a bovine, goats, sheep and a few donkeys. We grabbed a handful of hay to offer the friendly animals some munchies.

We almost selected a location in Beatty but were immensely thankful we did not as that area received a smacking of snow during our stay while the Longstreet Casino area just had a bit of rain. Nice not to worry about freezing RV pipes.

Great place for what we were looking for, full hookups close to Death Valley, and open as all California rv parks are closed at the time of visit due to COVID. The previous reviews had me a little concerned but the park was clean and had great sunset views and large sites. Very big rig friendly, nice little cafe and bar/casino. Free WiFi but no cell service. I would gladly stay again!
