About Us

Out here on East Pima Street, where the Sonoran Desert stretches to the horizon and the freight trains roll through town, Elks Lodge #2089 has quietly become one of Gila Bend's most reliable gathering spots. Reviewers consistently call it out for one thing above all else: the people. Friendly, genuine, and ready to welcome a stranger like an old friend.

The lodge sits on a wide, open property that does double duty as a dry-camp RV stop for traveling Elks members. Pull in any size rig, drop a donation in the box, and settle in for the night. It is not glamorous, but it is flat, spacious, and gets the job done. The on-site pub keeps things lively, and the parking lot holds more rigs than you might expect for a small Arizona town.

This is a working BPOE lodge in every sense. It serves the Gila Bend community through charitable programs, member events, and the kind of casual camaraderie that is harder to find than it used to be. The 4.4-star rating across 63 reviews says something real: people leave here feeling like they were taken care of.

What We Offer

Lodge membership opens the door to a national network of Elks lodges, charitable giving programs, and member-only benefits at locations across the country. Locally, that means access to the pub, lodge events, and the welcoming common areas that members have called consistently clean and comfortable.

For traveling Elks members on the road, the RV parking area is a practical desert oasis. The gravel lot accommodates rigs of any size with room to spare, and a donation of around $10 to $20 per night keeps the operation running. No water hookups are available, so plan accordingly for a true dry-camp stay.

Beyond the parking lot, the lodge hosts community events, fundraisers, and the social programs that have defined the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks for generations. If you are passing through Gila Bend, AZ on I-8 or looking to get more involved locally, Lodge #2089 is worth a stop.

"Boondock RV parking for Elks members only, plenty of space for any size rig., donation box in front, $10 a night. Unknown if Wi-Fi, no water. Lots of noise from the street next door and there is a public walking path behind the lodge. Lots of goat heads so watch your shoes when you go inside your RV. The lodge was closed when we arrived and left. Excellent Safe place to stay overnight. We tried to call but no answer. We would stay here again."

"This is for the RV parking only. A big, wide open, relatively flat gravel area to dry camp. The freeway noise is ever present, but I did have a good night's sleep. A $20 donation is appropriate. The person who guided me, over the phone was greatly appreciated, as they were closed when I called."

"We were traveling through as a group in our Motorhomes and needed a place to stay the night. Several of our group are Elks members and invited us to stay on their lot. We all visited the lodge that evening and had a beverage. We made a ten dollar donation for the ability to spend the night in our coaches. Very nice lodge and people."

"Gila bend Elks lodge is open on Fridays and has several dinner options. Very friendly people! The lodge grounds are great for a stay with any size RV. No hook up’s or services like dump and water. At least 5 acres of level gravel parking with a suggested donation of $10 a night. The lodge is very easy to get to and easy to get in and out of. You will hear road and train noise. The train does not blow its horn at night so really it doesn’t bother at all."

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.
