About Us

Since earning its charter, Florence Elks Lodge #1858 has been a fixture on 12th Street in one of Oregon's most beloved coastal towns. The lodge sits just minutes from the Siuslaw River, and that geography shapes everything here: the pace is unhurried, the people are genuine, and the sense of belonging runs deep. With a 4.6-star rating earned from nearly 200 visitors and members, this is a place that clearly delivers on its promises.

What sets Lodge #1858 apart is the range of what happens here. On any given week you might find a family scoring incredible deals at the Elks Thrift Store, a road-tripper hooking up their rig at the RV campground with 50-amp and water service, or a longtime member gathering in the lodge for an evening with friends. Reviewers consistently call the thrift store clean, organized, and fairly priced, and campers note that the lodge staff are genuinely pleasant to deal with.

The Elks are a fraternal organization with a national mission rooted in charity, patriotism, and community service. At the Florence chapter, that mission shows up in tangible ways for the central Oregon coast.

What We Offer

The RV campground is a standout amenity, offering 50-amp electrical hookups and water connections at rates that beat most private campgrounds in the area. It's a favorite stop for travelers working the Pacific Coast Highway, and the welcoming attitude of lodge members makes it feel less like a pit stop and more like a genuine stay.

The Elks Thrift Store draws locals and visitors alike. Shoppers consistently praise the clean, well-organized layout and the friendly staff who keep the shelves stocked and the prices honest. Every purchase supports the lodge's charitable programs, so the deal you find on a jacket or a piece of furniture goes directly back into the Florence community.

For members, the lodge itself is the heart of the operation, with regular gatherings, events, and the camaraderie that comes from belonging to a chapter with real local roots. Membership opens the door to the full range of lodge facilities and the broader BPOE national network.

"Called ahead and was not told we had to be a member. Literally a parking lot, with 90% spots open. Got here to be told we can't park at all. Consider nonmembers for an upcharge. This is ridiculous."

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.

“To our absent members.” — the Eleven O’Clock Toast
