About Us

A peaceful view of a lakeside area with mist and trees. — Elks Lodge
A peaceful view of a lakeside area with mist and trees.

Out on Elks Lodge Rd in Hattiesburg, this lodge has earned a 4.8-star reputation the hard way, one community project, one fundraiser, and one handshake at a time. Members here don't just show up for meetings. They build haunted houses that draw crowds from across the region, maintain two campgrounds on a large private lake, and consistently look for ways to put something good back into Hattiesburg, MS.

The setting itself tells you something. A quiet lake away from the city noise, two separate campgrounds, and enough open space to host events that feel like genuine occasions rather than calendar obligations. Reviewers call it a destination worth the drive, and the atmosphere backs that up.

BPOE members carry a long tradition of putting Elk values, charity, justice, brotherly love, and fidelity, into daily practice. This lodge takes that seriously. Whether the occasion is a community fundraiser, a veterans' tribute, or a fall haunted attraction, the people here show up and deliver.

What We Offer

The lodge offers members and guests a full calendar of activities rooted in service and fellowship. The lakeside campgrounds give members a rare escape, two distinct sites with a large, quiet lake that reviewers consistently praise for its peaceful atmosphere and distance from city traffic.

Beyond the grounds, the lodge hosts community events throughout the year, including seasonal attractions like their well-reviewed haunted house that draws families and thrill-seekers from across the Pine Belt. Charitable initiatives, civic programs, and veterans' support activities round out a schedule that keeps the membership active and engaged year-round.

Membership opens the door to a national network of Elks lodges across the country, meaning your card travels with you. Local meetings, social gatherings, scholarship programs, and volunteer opportunities give every member a concrete way to contribute to something larger than themselves.

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
