"But Milly," you say, "aren't you too cheap to pay for a night at an RV park every time you need to dump?"
Yes I'm cheap. Proud of it too. And you should have enough faith in me to know that I found a way to stay at RV parks four or five times a month while STILL being cheap.
I got Passport America! It's a club that gives you 50% off on a multitude of RV parks. There's three in Pahrump. I found I could stay at the swanky Lakeside Casino for only $15. That's the same that I would pay at a dump station with water in many places. But this also gives me laundry (not free, but access) and showers.
Well, I sure figured it out, didn't I? It's smooth sailing from here on. Yes, sir, one cheap night at Lakeside Casino will put us right for the next 4 to 5 days and then it's back to our sweet little boondock. :pats self on the back:
My mom: We're only staying one day at the RV park?
Me: Well, yes. We're just dumping, taking water, showering, and doing laundry.
My mom: That's a lot of laundry!
Me: @_@ Yes, but, it's not going to take more than a day to--
My mom: So I have to spend the whole time we're there doing laundry?
Me: But...well, I can do the laundry if you want, there's just no need for us to--
My mom: Why can't we spend two nights there?
Me: Why would we--
My mom: I have to spend my whole time doing laundry while you goof around fishing at the lake?! I'm tired, Yamila. I'm still sick from the mothballs.
Me: But...we're only staying there to--
My mom: SO WE CAN'T STAY TWO NIGHTS?!
Em...yeah. So there's a very nice casino attached to this RV park. My mom was not okay with only seeing to the necessities when a nice casino would be beckoning her.
:SIGH: So I paid for two nights here. And because tomorrow is Friday I had to pay the weekend rate. My cheap dump station plan went from $15 to $38. -_- DANG IT! And after I was nice enough not to mention that she broke the handle on the screen door.
Anyway, Lakeside is a gorgeous RV park with an artificial lake that's stocked with fish. And yes. I will be fishing here. The casino is the best one in Pahrump, too. Last time we were here I won $760 on Keno. It has a restaurant that used to be nice, with $5 buffets, but the $5 buffet was gone and the service went down hill. Meh. It's still a nice RV park.
