About Us

The Elks Lodge #460 sits on Old Pecos Trail at the edge of Santa Fe, and the moment you step inside, you feel the weight of decades of American fraternal tradition. Members have filled these rooms with stories, service projects, and the kind of handshake friendships that last a lifetime. Ask about the lodge's history and someone like Ron will gladly walk you through it, pointing out photographs, memorabilia, and the details that make this chapter unlike any other.

The grounds extend well beyond the lodge walls. Travelers passing through Santa Fe, NM regularly stop to take advantage of the RV camping area, where the high-desert elevation rewards you with some of the most spectacular sunset views in the Southwest. The silence out there is real, broken only by wind and the occasional coyote call.

With a 4.4-star rating built on genuine member and visitor experiences, Lodge #460 is a place that earns its reputation the old-fashioned way: through open doors, shared meals, and a community that shows up when it counts.

What We Offer

Lodge #460 offers the full range of Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks programming, from regular member meetings and social events to charitable fundraisers that directly support Santa Fe-area veterans, youth, and families. The lodge hall is available for member gatherings and approved community functions, making it a genuine civic anchor on the south side of the city.

For traveling Elks members and RV visitors, the camping area is a standout amenity. Pull-through and boondocking spaces sit on open ground with panoramic views toward the Sangre de Cristo foothills, ideal for an overnight stay or a quiet few days while exploring Santa Fe. Coordination is handled through lodge staff, so check availability before arrival.

Membership in the Elks opens access to a national network of over 2,000 lodges across the country, reciprocal lodge privileges when you travel, and a brotherhood built on the four cardinal virtues: charity, justice, brotherly love, and fidelity.

"We had a wonderful time meeting local Elks members. The camping area was quiet and offers fabulous views of sunset! Ron gave us a tour of the lodge. It's full of interesting history. Someone should definitely write a book about the history of this castle-like lodge!"

"Nice place to boondock. Leveling was a challenge for our 44' class A with hydro lift. We gave the other occupants a show and we are full timers 4 years in. It was a great location."

"Coming through town, we decided to stop in and stay a couple of days in Santa Fe. We wanted to see some of the sights. So we set up our trailer at the Elks Lodge. Everyone we met at the Elks were super nice and really accommodating. We are making plans to return in September and making it a point to stop in and say hello. Great group of people."

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
