This ENCORE park is neat and tidy, the staff is very helpful and friendly. An escort will direct you to the assigned site and help you get aligned and ready to setup. The interior roads are paved and in good condition, just narrow and one way. Nearly all the sites have paved patios and all full hookups. Cable TV is available with Comcast but you have to sign a contract to get access, so it didn't seem worth it. This is the off season in Florida and the park was nearly vacant. There is highway construction on Burnt Store Road, however, there was no noise to deal with. A NOTE here: Burnt Store Road will be closed between FL-41 and Acline Road beginning 5-9-11 and will remain closed for the rest of 2011 to replace the bridge over Alligator Creek. Access to the park will not be affected, the detour will be using Acline Rd off FL-41 to reach the park. The pool, hot tub, spa, clubhouse, restrooms, laundry and showers are sparkling clean. There are some cosmetic repairs needed, otherwise this park would easily rate even higher. Monday through Friday the park maintenance people pick up your garbage at the curb. We would return if we are ever in the area in the future. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Excessively noisy for the price. We were here for two weeks in the 2nd row from the road and from Monday to Friday all we heard was the sounds of construction from across the street. There were machines moving and pounding pylons, constant beeping sounds from machines backing up etc. There was dust blowing across the road all the time. When the workers went home they turned on very loud generators to run pumps, so that when there was no work being done, we still heard constant noise from the massive generators. The office people lied to us when we asked what was the construction for. They said a retention pond was being build. Later we discovered that in addition to the pond, new sewers, an extra lane, and new concrete power poles were being build along 4 miles of roadway. This is a huge project that will take a long time. I walked over to the seventh row in the park before the noises became minimal. They have a nice park here, with lots of activities, the people are friendly, but they won't reduce the price because of these terrible noise conditions from the heavy construction. One day I went into the office and overheard a phone call. Someone was calling in and asking about Punta Gorda RV Park (which is nearby) and I heard the Encore lady say " I have no idea where that park is, but I can take your reservation here." She quoted them full rate and took the reservation. Oh, and if you go to the pool, you will hear the construction sounds because it's right near the roadway. The activities are great and every good thing this park had was spoiled by the construction. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Stayed a week. Not a bad park with good managers. Wi-Fi was Tengo and we could not get it at our site. The park is flat and there is no drainage. It rained and even the paved road was under water. After 6 days of no rain the site was still muddy. Pull throughs are OK but the road is so narrow its almost impossible to get in and out unless the site next to you is empty. Watched a number of people going back and forth trying to get out. If you have a long motorhome or trailer you might want to look elsewhere. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We were visiting relatives in Punta Gorda, so this park was very convenient. We timed our arrival around the departure of Snowbirds, who pretty well fill the park during the winter months. There were a multitude of sites available. Sites are not large and are grass with paved patio plus paved roads throughout park. We arrived just after rains, and our jacks went straight down into the soft topsoil - had to go to the local Home Depot for boards to reinforce under jacks. We camped in a 40' motorhome and the turns were a bit tight when maneuvering. Many of the folks who work here also live here. Very helpful and worked with us well. We will definitely return. Keep in mind this is primarily a membership park that is also open to others. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We thought it over priced for the conditions. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Way too jammed in and everything like the pet walk and showers were about 600 yards from us. We camped here in a Motorhome.

What a great park and the people that run the park are the best in the world. They were able to handle my rally of 45 rigs ranging from 20 ft. all the way up to 45 ft. with full hook ups and the best service, with smiles on their faces. The nice people that run the camp ground even DJ'ed for dinner one of the nights. They also DJ on the side. We love them and will go back to their park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed here for 5 months. Park facilities damaged from hurricanes. Park personal unable to be of any help. Managment more interested in selling park models than seasonal RVers. Improvements promised for 06/07 season. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We reserved a certain site two months in advance, they did not honor our reservation. We were put in the worst site of the campground. We got to look at the garbage dumpster, a makeshift work area and piles of split wood. We did move to a new site which was much better, but we had the inconvenience of moving. WiFi: I suggest you buy the most expensive, I didn't and could not get internet most of each day. If you have a dog, beware in warm weather. Behind the campground rattlesnakes are seen. We camped here in a Motorhome.

No review for this one in awhile, so thought I'd chime in. We stayed here because the price was right for a FL winter, and it was a last minute reservation. There were no dogs roaming free, no pet waste, and the management seems competent but somewhat aloof. There are just a handful of 50amp sites out of the 300. There seems to be some activities on a regular basis if you are so inclined, but we were not. Our main complaint is that the drainage in this park is very poor, so with big rains areas of it floods. We had water up to the bottom of our rims at times. A few of the 50amp sites are a bit higher - just don't be in the sites that back up to the drainage ditches! We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park is clean and people friendly! We registered with friends and were supposed to be across from each other. Instead we were on opposite ends of the park. There are permanent full time residents in this park and many trailers are very old and un-kept. Wi-Fi worked part of the time. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Dogs run free (suppose to be on leash). Pit Bulls there with the Managers. Pit Bulls are aggressive. Dog waste not cleaned up. Grounds not kept up. Pond is an eyesore. Palm trees not taken care of. Management borrows money from residents. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a relatively new and very clean and tidy park. Most guests are retirees who live seasonally in RVs or park models, but several dozen unsold spaces are available to transients. These spaces are on grass in the sun. The park is in a quiet rural area (and it can be hard to find). The clubhouse hosts activities such as pancake breakfasts (quite good), pot lucks, crafts, movies, bingo, socials, etc. The pool was heated during our visit (February), and there is a fruit & vegetable market each morning. People are especially friendly. We enjoyed our stay very much and extended it twice. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We spent 3 nights at this park and found it to be delightful. Very friendly. Even invited us to an all you could eat fish fry on Friday night. (I can eat a lot.) My wife uses the bathrooms and I use the camper’s shower. She reported that they were very clean and that the laundry was nice. There is a large lake in the center and campsites all around. Nice club house and recreation hall. It is close to a private airport and we did hear several airplanes during the day, but it was not offensive. We had a pull thru site, but I would say there are about half and half back-ins. Roads are paved and most sites have a pad. WiFi is available. We stayed in a motor home in Jan 2007 and we will be back. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Noisiest campground I have ever been in. within hearing distance is a very busy airport, a sheriffs gunnery range, an auto race track and a very busy road full of dump trucks. All good sites are captured by the long term leasees, the rest are just bare spots in between two campground roads. There is only one payphone to service the entire camp. Electrical voltage some times drops to 93 volts on a warm day, at best it is erratic. Campground rules are posted, but not enforced. We camped here in a camper.
