"Went there to hear a concert from the El Cajon Community Orchestra. Large meeting room with comfortable chairs. Good amount of parking. It was weird having to sign in coming into the concert. Everyone there was friendly. Nice clean bathrooms."

"If you want a good nights sleep you may want to choose another Elks. The Crunch fitness business behind all the RV spaces has a big parking lot and anywhere from about 11 p.m.to 2 a.m. theirs people talking loud, yelling, racing their vehicles, burning out, doing donuts. It's AWFUL!!! After 3 nights of it we turned our big fan on to drown out some of that obnoxious noise. Will stay again at the Chula Vista Elks next time though their spots are pretty tight. You have to order food in order to buy a drink. During covid they run as a restaurant is why and the patio is the only thing open. The live music was great!! It's a little tricky how to reserve an RV spot online. Also, big garbage bins are locked and there's only one small trash can for everyone's trash therefore that area in back gets overwhelmed with trash and other items that could go into the big bins. There's lots of shopping and restaurants near this Elks and our favorite was CraftedGreens restaurant, Excellent!!!"
