Pull off Route 66, park your rig at 2118 S Adams Street, and you'll find one of the friendliest stops on the high plains of eastern New Mexico. Elks Lodge #1172 has been a gathering place for Tucumcari locals and traveling members alike, earning a 4.5-star reputation built on cold drinks, honest conversation, and the kind of low-key welcome that chain hotels simply can't manufacture.

The lodge sits in a compact but capable facility that punches above its weight for a town this size. The bar draws regulars every evening, the pool offers a cool escape from the desert heat when it's in season, and the RV parking area comes with full hookups including power and water, making it a practical overnight stop for members crossing New Mexico on a long haul.

Tucumcari itself is a town with real character, a place where neon signs still glow along the old highway and locals actually talk to strangers. The Elks here reflect that same spirit. Whether you're a longtime member checking in or a traveler with a card in your wallet, you'll find a barstool and a conversation waiting.

What We Offer

Lodge #1172 keeps things straightforward and useful. The bar is the social hub, stocked and staffed for after-work drinks, Friday gatherings, and the kind of spontaneous evenings that turn into good stories. Food and drink specials rotate, so ask the bartender what's on.

For travelers, the RV parking is the standout amenity. Full hookups with power and water accommodate rigs of most sizes, and the price is right for members. Note that a dump station is not currently on-site, so plan accordingly before you arrive. The swimming pool is available seasonally, though hours and availability can vary, so call ahead if that's part of your plan.

Beyond the bar and parking, the lodge hosts fraternal events, charity fundraisers, and community programs consistent with the national Elks mission. Members can connect with local officers through the national Elks directory at elks.org to confirm current event schedules and hours before visiting.

"Nice lodge for a small historic town. Friendly folk, a tasty bar and a pool, though that was closed when we visited. Plenty of rv parking with power and water. I don't think there is a dump. A nice quiet place to spend the night in your RV."

"Elks lodge in Tucumcari is a sexist place they don't let women show swim suits at all inside even with cover up. But yet men in speedo shorts can walk around. They are clickish and mean not friendly with children. They make no accommodations and service is poor and snobby.They are very unorganized. Pool has frogs and bugs living in it. Elks lodge smells bad its to old and dirty. Bartenders are rude and over worked. There policies are only enforced for some when they want to bully or make people uncomfortable.If your a Elk skip this Lodge."

A Proud Heritage

The Elks gave America
Flag Day.

Long before it was a national observance, the Order set aside June 14th to honor the flag. Patriotism has always been one of our cardinal principles, and every lodge meeting still closes the same way it has for over a century.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
