The lodge offers a full-service bar as its social centerpiece, with seating for groups large and small and game tables for those who want a little friendly competition alongside their drinks. The outdoor deck opens up the experience when the weather cooperates, giving members and guests a place to take in the Fairbanks air.
For road-trippers and RV travelers, the on-site campground is a genuine find. About eight spots with electric and water hookups run $30 per night, and free shower and laundry facilities are available during lodge hours. It's a practical, affordable stop that beats most commercial campgrounds in the area on both price and atmosphere.
Beyond the bar and campground, the lodge hosts the full range of BPOE programming: community fundraisers, member events, and the kind of social calendar that has kept Elks lodges relevant for over 150 years. First-time visitors are welcome to explore membership, and traveling Elks members are always encouraged to stop in and sign the guest book.
