This used to be a great park but no more. There are too many issues to list. Definitely would not recommend. Paid fo 1 week, left after 2 days. There are much better choices.

Clean restrooms, friendly staff, great pool and hot tub. 55 and over resort. Lots of activities to do

This was our first experience with an Encore property in Texas, as part of our Thousand Trails membership. We're loving the over age 55 aspect, and all the activities in the park. We had a lot of problems pulling into the spot we were originally assigned. We're 42' long (just the fifth wheel) and there was just no way we were going to fit so they were quick to accommodate us in the spot next to it. That was much easier, and we were finally able to get set up before dark. We spent two weeks at Fun-N-Sun and it just wasn't enough. We enjoyed so many of the things they had to offer - the library, putting puzzles together, watching birds at the aviary, watching RC car races, playing shuffleboard and pool, and so much more. I will say that the spots are all close together, no one's having to mow much grass, that's for sure. Everyone is kinda piled on top of each other, but it doesn't seem to matter. There is not one single person we met that wasn't friendly and accommodating. We had no less than six people stop and say hello as we were setting up on the first evening. That has never happened in over three full years of full-time RVing. Everything we asked, everywhere we went, anything we needed, someone was friendly and eager to help. We were ready to move into a place of our own by the end of the second week. This was only solidified when I found out they have a quilting group, and my husband found out they have a HAM radio group. We're sold. We'll be back when we can. We had a great visit and will be happy to recommend to anyone.

This is a great place to spend your winter, or even to stay year-round. The most amazing part of this is the community created by the people who stay here. It is the friendliest RV park or 55+ community I have ever been to. The activities available to us are almost without end. The amenities at this park are numerous. It includes indoor pickleball courts, shuffleboard courts, billiards, table tennis, darts plus others. There are shops for doing woodworking, stained glass, silversmith, lapidary, painting, art and others. They have RC car races tracks and a field for RC airplanes. The pool is quite large, as is the hot tub. There is a very to large dance hall with a wood dance floor. There are a lot of opportunities for live entertainment during the winter season. This is a good mixture of RV sites, park models and mobile home sites. Every Sun evening is a great ice cream social and every Tues morning is a coffee klatch with donuts. The physical park itself is older and does show it's age. It is not a fancy place but what it lacks physically is way more than offset by the community of people here and all the activities that go on every day.
