Made the reservation for one night for a Sunday check in. Was a bit worried as I saw their office is closed on Sunday. Their prices are good so took a chance and booked. Was very surprised with the email commutation leading up to our arrival. The check in was on line before we left our stay at the previous RV overnight place. After completing the check in we received an email with our lot site. Upon arrival we checked in a box by the office for arrivals. There was our paperwork, map and contact numbers if more help was needed. Our lot directions were clear and precise with all the lots well marked with concrete patios and tables. Easy stay

We visited for 10 days during the summer. It is quiet and clean during this time. The clubhouse is really cool. My children who are homeschooled loved visiting the pool after their work was done. Staff is nice and helpful. The only downside for us was the roads are tight to maneuver our 42ft 5th wheel. We would return again during the summer. Our site was beautiful. I loved the palm trees we had.

We love the location of this park. It is closer to town than most Encore parks and it is clean and well-maintained. The employees are great too. We typically get a space right across from the pool which puts us closer to the main street and away from the canal. When you're there you feel like you're home.

So the only thing that was decent was the pool. Rv spots are right on top of each other and sites are so small you can hardly maneuver your rv. The roads are very skinny so it makes it difficult to drive your rv to even get to your spot. There is no wifi and there are alot of old campers and rv that look like crap that hasn't moved in years. It's seems pretty ran down. There is one area called a dog walk which is nothing more than the back strip of grass in an easement on the property. We will not be back and if this is what the thousand trails other properties are like we won't be renewing our membership.
