We took a gamble in Hinckley

Day 1

We loaded up and headed out to

Hinckley Minnesota, to the Hinckley Grand Casino. We wanted to try this park well yes the casino but also we've heard good things about the rv park. We took highway 101 to highway 23 to interstate 35 right to the casino. The road through Mora is really bumpy and we didn't care for that very much. The kids of course slept through the whole ride which is ok. 

   We arrived at the park around 6:00 pm it's about 2 hours for us to get there. We checked in and found our site. This was the first time backing into a site for me so Jennifer jumped out to give me another set of eyes as we parked. The site is a level asphalt spot with a picnic table and a fire ring with a grill on the pit,

 the usual hook ups water,sewer and electric. A new feature for us was cable! I now see why people buy those portable satiilite dishes it's nice to have a little variety. There's about 5 feet between the picnic table area and the other site. There sewer and hook ups are to the left of that about 8 feet from the table which is alright. There are some trees around the park and some ponds with fish in them. Which if our state bird wasn't the mosquito it might be a great spot to get next time, unless they don't  spray for them. 

   We had dinner & went to the small kids park they have.

 They've got a rock climbing wall for the kids which was great to watch my little guy climb over the wall.

 We forgot to stop at the firewood are and grab the firewood and I went in and told the checking lady and she got someone to grab it for me so we decided to have a little campfire and relax. About 9:00 that evening I decide to walk the grounds and check it out. There's a bath house with vending machines and a path that leads to the casino. I mapped outy walk around the park and it clocked in at over a mile of road. I believe I saw 400 sites. Time for bed. 

Day 2

We got up and headed out. We promised the kids we'd hit the arcade the next day after breakfast. They have a shuttle that will pick you up when you put up your flag next to your number at your site *free and bring you to the casino. We got to the casino and had a big breakfast and head into the arcade. I love arcades that give you tickets and the kids love it to. This was a great arcade plenty of games for any age. I personally liked Sixgun Select, cause it had Fast Draw on it. 

We turned in the tickets and got the kids prizes and candy then the kids and I headway back on the shuttle to the rv park and Jenn stayed at the casino for some adult arcade time. The guy from the site next to us lent us his bounce ball game and we talked for a bit. Found out on Labour Day his trailer blew a tire and it broke from his truck and the trailer rolled and was totaled. So scary! After we played that and Jenn came back and we all just hung out for a while. Then my son and I decided to go try and find a geocach while we were here only to get skunked but still had fun walking the grounds. We just laid low for the rest of the day and then headed back to the casino to eat dinner and hit the arcade again. We had a beutiful day and a lot of fun. To end the day we tried these cone filled campfire treats. They were good. 

A fantastic way to end a fun trip. Sunday will be the normal dump & roll and can't wait for the next one. Be sure to check out Hinckley Casino RV Park when you're in Minnesota or need a little getaway.
