On South Shasta Street in Willows, California, Lodge #1786 has built something that goes beyond a membership card. Pull up a chair at one of the legendary clam and steak feeds and you will understand immediately why guests leave raving about the food and the people in the same breath. The crowd is friendly, the portions are real, and the atmosphere is exactly the kind of place you hope still exists in small-town California.

The lodge sits tucked into a quiet residential neighborhood just a short walk from Willows' historic downtown district. That location matters. Members and guests alike describe the feeling of arriving here as a genuine exhale, a place where the pace slows down and conversation picks back up. Whether you are a lifelong Elk or simply a traveler who stumbled across a good tip, the welcome is the same.

Lodge #1786 also maintains RV parking behind the building, complete with electric, water, and dump station hookups. Overnight guests consistently call it one of the best surprise stops on a California road trip. The couple managing the RV program has earned a reputation for treating every visitor like a returning friend.

What We Offer

The centerpiece of Lodge #1786's calendar is its community feeds, particularly the celebrated clam and steak nights that draw crowds from across Glenn County. These are not catered affairs. They are cooked with care, served with pride, and attended by members who genuinely enjoy the company of the people around them. When a feed is on the schedule, word travels fast.

Beyond the dining events, the lodge offers RV overnight parking at four dedicated spaces behind the building. Each site includes electric hookup, water, and a dump station, making it a practical and surprisingly comfortable stop along the I-5 corridor. The neighborhood is quiet, the area is safe, and the proximity to Willows' historic district gives road travelers a reason to explore.

As a BPOE chartered lodge, #1786 also supports Elks National Foundation programs, youth activities, and veteran initiatives throughout the local community. Membership opens the door to all of it, from the social events and lodge facilities to a nationwide network of over 2,000 lodges across the country.

"This is a small lodge with four spaces behind the building. There is a dump, water and electric. Very quiet neighborhood. The couple that handle the rv parking, etc. are SUPER. We have never be treated so well by any RV park or Elks lodge. We were having some battery issues and Dave even took us to the store for supplies. We would definitely go out of our way to stay here again."

Join the Elks
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
