Colorado Springs Elks Lodge #309: Brotherhood, Community, Pikes Peak Views

"The lodge and camping are members only, the pool can be used by anyone who buys a membership. We only got to enjoy the pool one day as it was very crowded with kids. This is a very active lodge with lots going on. We had a blast with the locals and staff. Camping is first come first serve with 3 or 4 transient sites, the others are being used as long term. Enjoy!"

"I always try to visit different lodges when I’m in a different town. I was in Colorado Springs for work and decided to visit the Elks Lodge #309. Great views of Pikes Peak from the parking lot, a swimming pool (not open for the season yet), and lots of pool tables and dart boards. The staff was very friendly and I enjoyed my free beer and a few more! I traded them a pin and they said that ours was beautiful. Our lodge is Cape Girardeau, MO Elks Lodge #639. This lodge is definitely worth a visit if you're in the Springs. I’m sure it’s amazing when the pool is open!"

"A place you got to look for, or have to have the address to find it. Nice place to hold an event, lots of parking. Big dance floor a nice lil bar off to the side, clean restroom. 3 stars because of the Bartenders they had working there they knew nothing of making drinks, or how too. Other then that I would of gave them 5 stars."

"We made the mistake of spending a couple nights at this "very Nice" Elks Lodge. We are RV travelers and have stayed in 100's of Elks lodges nation wide. There was a private event that evening. At 9:45 the event spilled into the parking lot. Where attendees were drinking, screaming, and using narcotics. We were one of about 14 RV's in the lot, and are mostly weary travelers just trying to get some rest. It was loud and obnoxious. I called the lodge, and was told "these people paid a lot of money for this party, and there was nothing they could do" I informed the lady that I also paid a lot of money to camp in a parking lot and you should regulate the people you are accommodating. I was told "if you don't like it call the cops." So I did. Colorado Springs 911 dispatch was not only nasty, but completely worthless. They refused to send a unit. Then the Party goers started pounding on RV's with people sleeping. It was a gang of wannabe thugs. I called the lodge again and was again dismissed. But this time I was given a phone number for the manager. He showed up and confronted the crowd, who immediately surrounded him. I went out to help him. The cops finally arrived after my wife called 911 and said "there's about to be a fight or a shooting and you better get some officers here now!" They showed, the crowd left, and there was peace finally. I did not sleep at all, while I monitored the door with a shotgun. This lodge has completely lost touch with what being an elk is all about. THE MEMBERS! They charge $40 a night for camping and provide no protection to the members. I will never ever stay there again, and will inform others that it is an unsafe place to stay. I'll also be putting in a formal complaint. Epic FAIL Colorado springs Elks Club. Maybe worry less about money, and more about your members. Simply Disgusting!"

"Played pool 1st time last night the tables are excellent and the drinks are half the price of surrounding bars. Regular tap beers. A few goat patch brews and wine selections. Only amber beer can be purchased from a can. Food specials on different nights, Sitting out by the pool at sunset is a must for the atmosphere."
