High fuel prices --- ugh!!!
Looking for free overnight parking? Anything that will help to save a few bucks these days is welcomed. Just a reminder: Appendix B in the current (3rd) edition of Casino Camping lists 88 casinos throughout the country that are located within 2 miles of an interstate exit, so you won't burn too much fuel getting to that RV-Friendly casino. Warning: There is one exception on that list -- Empress Casino near I-80 in Joliet, IL does not allow free overnight parking for RVs. They require you to pull into their (somewhat pricey) campground.

We have stopped at Casinos overnight and enjoyed a little gaming plus the great breakfast specials.
Like WalMart, they usually make more money off you then you would have spent at a campground so it's a win-win situation for all.

The Cons: Empress RV Camp grounds in Joliet IL also does NOT allow you to use the Swimming pool (only Hotel Guests can use it). Nice park but a disappointment.
The Pros: Convenient to drive to Joliet's train station & get into the heart of Chicago.
There is a RV pk in Wilmington (just 15 mins S). Great little town to go Antiquing, enjoy the River, some local sites.
