Vista Elks Lodge #1968: Where Community Thrives!

"Always a great time. A first time band played and they were great! Food was very good as always and drinks that aren't shy on the pour! Being a member is an honor to serve others - volunteer driven."

"The Elks Club in Vista was off the hook . The band was fantastic. The dance floor is pretty big and a lot of line dancing if you love to line dance .. go check it out!!!! 😉 Oh and the food delicious thumbs up to the chef..."

"Arrived after the Senior lady Host had checked out for the day as per her phone message.. so went inside to the bar & Debbie kindly greeted me & walked me out to find me an RV spot. They said a big group was coming in next day. I said I was just passing thru on my way back to my desert home. We were joined by 2 other very welcoming Elks, Tom, Jerry who assured me told me it was OK & I could pay the Hist in the a.m., no problem, 'cause that's the way fellow Elks are. Next a.m. Camp Host came by with her little dog,, saw me & immediately assumed the worst. She was absolutely furious & started yelling at me saying in her Southern accent...'Why are you here? Your NOT supposed to be here!' (Is this how you treat a fellow Elk?) I kindly introduced myself saying since she was off duty last night, I was told by Debbie, Tom & Jerry that it was OK to park for the night, pay in a.m. However even after my explanation she continued to be rude & inhospitable. All I wanted to do was get away from her toxic demeanor. After paying her I immediately left. As a longstanding Elk, I have never been treated so badly at any Lodge. This woman does NOT represent the commaraderie & fellowship we are known for at the ELKS."

"Love the bingo they play Tuesday nights. Plus summer time there's bands playing outdoors."

"Really wonderful as always! It's basically a gravel lot with utilities, but it's the lodge and people that make it so special! Glenda and Esther share the hosting in the RV Park. You'll probably talk to one of them. You'll also probably see Esther's husband, Vincent, around. They're all great people and they work hard to keep the park running smoothly. There is a small dog park, the Swim Step Bar where you may find some live music or a celebration of some kind (the 4th of July party was great fun!) Laundry room, the lounge, indoor and outdoor seating... it's a really great lodge! If you're in need of a friend, stop into the Vista Elks lodge and you're sure to find one. Or more!"
