- MarkTwainExplorerGo with the Elks. Elks RV Lodges are in almost community and state. Almost all have at least water & elec. Many have site dumps or dump station. Almost all resturant and bar. Elks will never turn you away even if they are full, they will let you park in the parking until there is a vacancy.
- RVcrazyExplorerAnyone else? When I look at the online directories, all I get is a list and contact info for each lodge with RV parking. No pix to compare to Elks. If we were going to join one or the other based on what you've seen for RV accomodations, which would you choose? My Dad was an Elk. I don't really know anything about the Eagles, except that it was suggested by someone I know as an alternative. What happens if you join a lodge and it disbands? Do they automatically transfer your membership to somewhere else, or do you choose your home lodge? Does either lodge care if you are predominantly joining for the RV parking access. Since we will be on the road, we won't b3e attending regular meetings etc. Thanks!
- bobsallyhExplorer III forget what the Eagles dues is. Before I left Yuma a couple of weeks ago I got an application and haven't submited it yet. We use Elks quite a bit depending where we are. Elks dues vary by the individual lodge. Prices also vary on RV parking. Some have some hok-ups, some have none but it sure works for us. We just did 15 days at the Boulder City, NV. lodge. We are members at the Gila Bend, AZ. lodge as they work with RVers and have a huge induction every February.
- MarkTwainExplorerFind an Elk member and ask to look in their Elks RV camping directory (4 total). Check for the areas, trips you generally want to go. Or, you can just buy the directories. Many Elk Lodges have full hook ups, bar and serve dinners.
- 2oldmanExplorer II$15 a night and all the dust you can shovel in Coachella CA.
I joined just to have access to this "CG", but seriously when the wind blows it's a sandstorm.
