Southern California’s Pala Casino Spa & Resort last week took a major step to tap the growing market for RV travelers by opening a 10-acre, .1 million RV Resort near the boundary between San Diego and Riverside counties.
The RV facility is across the street from the hotel casino and offers 100-full-service sites. It also offers water, sewer, power, cable TV and Wi-Fi. When you add restrooms, shower, laundry and two heated pools, it almost like staying at a hotel. There’s even a fenced dog park.
This puts it into a market that nearby competitors, including Pechanga Resort & Casino a few miles away in Temecula, already entered years ago.
The demographic of those who use RVs and those who visit casinos also overlaps considerably.
The RV facility is the third expansion for the Pala resort since it completed its $100 million expansion and renovation 2009. In 2015 they added the CAVE, a dining facility with an underground wine cave.
In a separate but related development, the Pala Band and California Governor Jerry Brown signed an update tribal state gaming compact that allows the tribe to deploy an additional 500 slot machines.
