Buster52.....You can buy the "Elkdom" book(s). They're three books produced by the Elks that provide lodge information. There's a west, central and east coast book. They tell you the location of each Elk's lodge, if they allow camping, the number of sites, size of sites, if they have water, electric and sewer. They're very accurate and easy to use.
Some of the lodges have from 20-30 sites, such as the Albuquerque Lodge.
Florence Oregon has 17 at the lodge & 40 more at the Elks RV Park,
with elect, water & dump.......
But -
both Albuquerque & Florence are a long way from Lake Isabella!..:R
"They're very accurate and easy to use"
That's a firm "maybe".
Sometimes it's best to know the *area* where the lodge is located -
other than being close to where you want to be - or are visiting.
Some lodges were established many years ago in (CA) "metro" areas which have "changed" over the years.
The lodge may be full of great people - but the surrounding area can be a bit "shakey".
Also some lodges are in outstanding locations, a couple of spots with NO hookups - but easy in easy out, easy to get a spot 'cause the "gotta have at least elect" folks aren't interested.
And for others, you wonder who sent in the info for the book.
Yet others are heavily populated by "Snowbirds" in the winter, and rigs are packed in like sardines - with "overflow" waiting to join the sardines.
That's when bargain camping is *not* a bargain!..:(
