I do too. Sometimes you hit a real busy lodge. Even though they are first come first served, I called this one lodge and the host put an orange cone out in front of a spot to save it for me, as they were just about full for that night.
(I'm not an Elk member even though I've had the rv books for many years) I live about a mile from the(Seattle) Elks mention above. I drive by it when I go to the store. They are filled up at least 80-90% of the time. Sometimes when I get the store and I see a RV parked, I chit chat with them a bit. Great people. Many times we used to let them park at my house if they were just only going to be a couple days. (Not any more, I tell them about overnighting places close by).
Here is what I've learned from some of them. (Probably many know of you already know this but if you don't...)
The Elkdom travel guide books are great but many times are out dated. The search button on rvparkreviews brings up many that are either not in the book or maybe closed down, etc...

Go down to orange area on left hand side...Enter, "elks" in search bar, check the first 4 boxes in "search field", hit the search button just below. (you could probably turn up more results by also entering the state in the search bar IMO)
As many know Seattle is tuff to get around in with RV's and not so many RV parks close by.
If the Elks is full they park at a close by store, unhook toad and go back to the Elks and socialize waiting or asking when somebody is going to leave. If nothing is going to open up they go to their back up plan.
