Located just outside of Hattiesburg, the Camp is the Mississippi Elk's State Major Project. The motto of the BPOE is "Elks Care, Elks Share." Elks come from all walks of life, and membership is open to both men and women, aged 21 and older, who believe in God, and are United States citizens. There are eleven Elks Lodges in Mississippi: Corinth, Clarksdale, Greenville, Greenwood, Canton, Vicksburg, Hattiesburg, Biloxi, Ocean Springs, Gulfport and Pascagoula. Today the Elks are known primarily for their support of United States veterans, providing scholarships to high school seniors, promoting anti-drug campaigns in schools, and helping the less fortunate in their communities. The organization was chartered in 1868, with the goals of promoting charity, justice and brotherly love. The Mississippi Elks are part of a nation-wide fraternal organization, the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.

Good price for the services and large sites. Convenient location in a nice small town with scenic marina and a nearby state park. No good hiking without driving, but there are many nice beach walks a short drive, including Harris Beach State Park a mile or two north.Ĭomments: This was our second stay here. Hiking/Walking: Walk down the hill to town. (Our neighbor in site 6 was complaining about the work of cleaning the tree drippings off of his motorhome.) The shade would be welcome on a hot day. Lighting/Noise: Quiet at night reasonably unobtrusive lighting.įavorite Sites: We liked 7, but 1-4 look the most appealing - except that the trees behind them tend to drop dirt and tree litter on your rig. Elevation is near sea level, but high enough to be out of reach of a tsunami! Views are of the row of rigs across from you, green trees, and the back of the lodge. Local NPR on 91.1 FM.Įlevation/Landscape/Terrain: Mostly level parking on the perimeter of the large parking lot behind the lodge. Lots of cable TV stations, so we didn’t check antenna reception. Phone/radio/TV: Strong Verizon phones and aircard signal. Rate: $15 for electricity and water, dump station use, cable TV and WiFi. Easily accessible dump station and even a laundry room! The RV parking area is behind the lodge, away from traffic noise. The very nice Brookings Elks lodge is up a hill just east of Highway 101, in the middle of town. We used blocks under our front jacks in site 7. The remaining sites are on asphalt and are rather sloping rigs in these sites are jacked up pretty high. All sites have wooden picnic table in decent shape.Ībout half the sites are on gravel with some shade from perimeter trees these are fairly level. All are suitable for big rigs and unusually spacious compared to most Elks parking, with room for your slides, awnings, and tow or towed vehicle at your site. Sites: Seventeen sites (2 pull-through and 15 back in) have at least 30 amps (rumor has it that some sites have 50 amps, but we didn't research this) and water at each site, along with cable TV. Weather During Stay: Foggy and overcast, with light rain from time to time. ![]()
