About Us

A tranquil sunset view over the water near the lodge. — Florida Keys Elks Lodge #1872 — A tranquil sunset view over the water near the lodge.

At mile marker 92.6 on the Overseas Highway, the Florida Keys Elks Lodge #1872 has carved out something genuinely rare: a place where a Flag Day ceremony draws a crowd of volunteers who actually care, where the dock stretches out toward open water just in time for the evening light to go gold, and where a 4.7-star rating across more than a hundred reviews tells you the members are doing something right.

The lodge sits on a property that earns its reputation on looks alone. A small dog run, a mini wharf built for sunset-watching, and a setting that reminds you exactly why people move to the Florida Keys in the first place. But the scenery is the backdrop, not the point. The Elks are one of America's oldest fraternal organizations, and Lodge #1872 carries that tradition forward through genuine service, patriotic programming, and a community calendar that keeps Tavernier connected.

Every June 14th, members gather for a Flag Day Ceremony that visitors have called one of the most moving community events in the Keys. That kind of moment doesn't happen by accident. It happens because this lodge has built something worth showing up for.

What We Offer

Lodge #1872 offers membership in the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, one of the country's most respected fraternal organizations, along with all the rights and privileges that come with it, including reciprocal access to Elks lodges across the nation.

The lodge hosts a rotating calendar of patriotic events, community fundraisers, and social gatherings throughout the year. The waterfront venue is also available for private events and rentals, making it one of the more scenic event spaces on Key Largo. Members enjoy access to the lodge's common areas, the waterfront dock, and the on-site dog run.

If you're visiting the Keys and already hold an Elks membership, stop in. If you're a local looking for a community built on service and shared values, talk to a member about how to join. The lodge's website at floridakeyselks.com keeps the calendar current.

"UPDATE... No fault of Elks, but I would not recommend using the Weather Sense insurance at booking. We had a change to our reservation and when I asked Weather Sense to ensure we're covered, they refused to cover us during our changed reservations. Lesson learned, DO NOT USE!!! Florida Elks is still a great location for RV Stay, but need to be an active Elk member. Have to use their reservation website. The camp host John and his wife were great. You need to show before 5pm."

"It's a VERY pretty setting, complete with a small dog run and mini warf to walk out and enjoy the sunsets. However, I felt somewhat put upon with many of their "rules", like no dog pens - which I very much need because I have 2 special needs dogs. And I found the parking situation challenging too, so be prepared to try ti find a place to park your extra vehicle one day and then be boxed in with tons of cars being parked in the RV Park area on nights when there is an event going on. I've stayed at many Elks Lodges all over the East Coast and have always been treated warmly and felt so welcomed, but not here. If I ever go to The Keys again, I will stay elsewhere."

"We parked in the RV park for a week. They advertise 12 spots but the camp host occupies one. Nice gravel level spots with water and 50 amp electric. They say there is a dump but think it's hard to get to. They have a blue boy available if needed. Nice view of the ocean and beautiful sunsets. Lodge has bingo on Sundays, Show me the money on Mondays. Kitchen is only open Monday and Friday. Not sure about bingo night."

"My husband and I have been here numerous times since 2020. We've stayed in the campground from theee days to two months and loved all our time here. We always had one or two dogs with us, the beagle enjoyed the laid back Keys lifestyle and the other loved being active with her walks and playing ball. We never felt unwelcome, everyone was friendly and helpful. The lodge is always clean, bartenders are friendly and the food was always good. Whenever we go to the Keys the Elks is always on the list of a place to go to, if for no other reason than the amazing sunsets."

— Susan Wheeler

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
