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.
