Sunshine Holiday Ft. Lauderdale

0/100 The only compliment I will give this place is to the photographer who took the pictures for the website. Fantastic photos, they make you think you're staying somewhere nice. This place is a trailer park!! Not a mobile home community, a TRAILER PARK. Not an RV resort either. We called and told them we were going to show up an hour after the office closed, they said no problem. Our problem was they did not leave us any information, no site number, we had to find an empty spot to park for the night. The hookups are on the wrong side at every site. Used laundry house water drains in the street daily. The front gate is broken so the property is not secure. I need to stop thinking about the other issues with this place, it's causing my blood pressure to rise. Does not live up the Encore name. I hope someone turns the place around. Could be something special someday. Here's a few photos from the "RV resort" side of this place.

Couldn't get out of here fast enough. Beware, they give violations without communication. Their connections are backward, so we had to reverse our camper. Got a violation the next day threatening to tow because we were parked wrong. Nothing in their documents states any guidelines or expectations of this nor was this communicated to us. Majority of the park are Canadians and not very friendly. The one staff member we ran into also not very friendly. Not sure how they can call this an Encore park. It's terrible.

If you're Canadian, this is the perfect campground for you. If you are American, this campground is not fit for us. The campers that I encountered were not friendly at all, they don't even wave hello or acknowledged me and are very clicky. If you travel with "American" dogs, they are not allowed to bark, only "Canadian" dogs can bark. I do have a small dog which barks a lot, I did put her inside whenever she did start barking, but still, I had a very mean lady come out and yell at me even though she saw me putting the dog inside the RV and she still complained to the office, says a lot! I also had a Canadian women who started talking crap to me about the USA. When you go to another country, be humble! I stayed 2 weeks in February 2025.

This park is definitely a different camping experience then what I am used to in other States. This park is in-town so convenience to stores, etc are nice. On the other side, it is also very busy with cars constantly coming in and out with their loud music and not adhering to the speed limit AT ALL! Only 1 shower is available. Your neighbors either speak french or spanish and are not as friendly of campers like other campgrounds. A lot of folks are from Canada and are quite clicky. Check in was easy, staff was nice, and assisted me to my site. Sites are concrete which is nice. Yes, hookups are on the opposite side so make sure you have two sewage hoses. My water hose and electrical cord only required one. Yes, rigs are LITERALLY touching slide out to slide out, but depending on the size of your rig, you may be able to pull forward a bit to avoid touching your neighbor. To sum it up as a FL native, this park is not bad but typical South FL living; over populated, over rated, and over crowded with lots of traffic. Not my idea of camping. I'll stick to visiting and/or living in the northern states. Happy camping!

0/10 - DO NOT RECOMMEND. I arrived ahead of my husband who had our rig, went into the office to check in. First thing the man in the office (Michael) said is that they don’t do check ins, they do arrivals. 🙄 Okay, great tone to start off. He told me that having 2 vehicles was going to be a problem. My husband pulled in and Michael came out of the office and first thing he said was “you better lock those bikes up”. Of course we would but that right off gives the feeling that this is not a very safe place. The gate to come in to this place is permanently open. The “sites” are very narrow and difficult to get in. The utilities are on the wrong side. So, after unloading I drove my car back to the office, went in smiling and giggling and acting dumber than I was - looking for where I could park. Michael then became very friendly and took me outside by my arm and gave me a couple of options. First one was that I could park in the reserved office parking spaces when the office was closed (5 pm to 8am only), inconvenient. Or I could park down by one of there 2 small pools, on the street. No problem, that’s what I did. There’s a list of 13 different ways that can have your car towed LOL. I had already decided in my mind that we were leaving asap and when I got back to my husband at the camper he asked me to call Thousand Trails and get us out of here. Done. We’re out of here in an hour. We had read the reviews a couple of days ago but thought it’s an Encore location, how bad could it really be? Save yourself the trouble and go somewhere else.
