Pool was so beautiful and well maintained. Front desk ladies nice. Fellow campers extremely nice. Beautiful palms and good mix of shade and sun. Super large dog run area. Lots of planned activities to join in on if that's your thing. Excellent experience. The only negative and it's not a quick or easy fix but the roads are a little compromised with pot holes and sunken areas. But have to go slow anyway so easy to navigate. Overall very happy Oh and by the way even though address is Vero Beach it is primarily in Sebastian which is not as big or busy as Vero Beach. It's about 25/35 min away. read more

property this morning Based on the website. When we arrived we explained we were looking for a 6month -annual location that wasn't on dirt. We were told they 'didn't have rates for 2026 yet".But, current rate was $1100, plus electric. We were also told that they do not have room for 2nd vehicle on lot and that " it had to be stored, for additional $70. Per month. The one lady was rather rude and the other lady tried to soften the approach of the fisrt. We asked if we could take a look at the park ........ as we drove in we were amazed at the actual condition of the lots. The lots are very small, and although they have concrete..... they are mostly busted concrete, and extremely small pads. The road itself is filled with potholes and, there are actual Mobile homes. The website misrepresents this park.... we were unable to find a spot that looks like the photo. In short we would not stay here. read more

The office staff is condescending and rude. The streets are broken and constantly torn up for water repairs. They shut off the water supply without warning. The washers don't get all the detergent out, the dryers burn your clothes, the vents are clogged and clothes are damp. Multiple machines are out of order. We met some nice people who live there, but not worth the money. read more

Encore Sunshine Travel - RV Parks Near Me - Vero Beach, Florida

Better hope you like living on top of your neighbors. Listening to I -95 traffic and the trucks that use their jake brakes to slow down to get off the off ramp which is right out back of the complex. Very noisy!!! Sunshine Travel provides only one bathhouse for almost 300 campsites. They are cleaned once a day, I should say speed cleaned. Not clean or disinfected enough to mine or Covid standard. Let's talk about the front office! If you have a question or any issue you want to address, you have to deal with Nancy - mostly - You better expect a condescending demeanor. The maintenance crew is not very friendly either, at least not to people new to the campground. Let's say how your employees handle an everyday workday with all kind of occurring situations breaks down from the demeanor of the management to the crew. Their is one plus and that's the pool. Nice size and heated. That's pretty much why I gave 2 **. Let's just say Sunshine Travel is an expensive campground right next to I-95 which needs a lot of work and a much better attention to detail. read more

We stayed for 3 nights. We had a lovely time. The pool was great and relaxing. There were plenty of chairs on the deck. Thre bathrooms were clean and modern. We played the 9 hole putt putt course and had fun. Some of the sites held year round people but everyone was nice to us. The sites were roomy for the most part. Check in was contact-less so that was a breeze. Wifi and basic cable were included. About twenty minutes away is the downtown Vero area. It's very cute and has tons of restaurants. The beach is 25 minutes away and a must-do. We also went to the shooting range which is only 10 minutes away. We had a great time and will definitely go back. read more

one of the worst Encore campgrounds i've been to. the people here have no respect for other campers and their sites. everyday I wake up to dog poop on my site, even though there is a designated dog walking area. the annuals let their dogs run around without a leash and let them run onto other people's sites. when you complain to management they just say.. "oh but they're really nice dogs" and basically shrug their shoulders. They don't follow their own rules here. I'm TIRED of stepping into dog poop everytime I walk to my car. The people here are some of the most disrespectful dog owners I have ever come across out of any campground i've been to, and i've been to ALOT. also if you're a light sleeper or have kids, don't bother, because nobody will be able to sleep. every night is like a party at the gas station that's directly in front of the campground. motorcycles and cars constantly revving their engines in the middle of the night. music coming from their cars at max volume at all hours of the night. it's been a nightmare. i'm counting down the days that our stay is over. definitely will never be back. Sun Retreat campgrounds are wayyyy better, cleaner and more family friendly. read more

Sunshine Travel RV Resort is a great park. (at the time of writing this I've been here 1 month out of a 3 month stay - will update if needed) The Address and Name has Vero Beach in it. But it is actually closer to Sebastian. Which is a great little town. (Vero Beach Proper is about 18 miles). First impression rolling in - great trees and lawns and sites are paved. Nice looking club house and pool and game areas. The sites here are a little tight - as in close together and the pad I'm on is only as wide as my rig. There are 300 sites here. There are a fair number of Park Models (house trailer with porch and skirts and landscaping etc). Wifi and Cable: There is no wifi at the sites and if you want cable you have to get a converter box from local cable company office (free but 18 miles away) for each TV. Wifi is at the club house or office area. We are paying about 40 a month to have wifi with our free cable. (so we have 2 boxes for tv's and 1 big box for wifi) Up by the pool and club house there are miniature golf, bocci ball pit, horse shoe pits, shuffle board courts and more. The dog park here is amazing!! It looks to me to be 2 or 3 acres. It is kept well and big and awesome! There are even Yappy Hours (Happy Hours) there for dogs and their people. There was beer, wine, cheese, crackers, chips, soda and snacks for the dogs and it is cool. There are a lot of things going on at this park - organized day trips, pot luck dinners, a German Dinner, Movie night with snacks, Bingo and more - if that is your thing. A big plus for me here is this park had full recycle service. (Up by garbage dumpsters there are plenty of bins for cans, bottles, cardboard, plastic etc.)(now if people could put the items in the right bin). (This is my first RV park that has such comprehensive recycle available). The grounds are very nice looking - manicured lawns, great trees and flowers and generally a great looking place. The concrete roads have numerous cracks (minor for motor vehicles - but when you ride bike back from store up the street with a 12 pack of beer strapped on - it shakes the heck out of them - careful opening after ride). One other thing I don't like is this place is very close to I-95 and as I type this I hear trucks going by. It isn't too bad because of sound wall - but - RV parks should not be on the highway (I RV to enjoy peace and quiet and the sounds of birds or laughter not trucks) There are some good places to eat and explore near by (not walking distance). (there is a McDonalds and a DQ in walking distance but I consider them a last resort type of thing). There is a place called Taco Mobil about 3 or 4 miles down the road - amazing Tacos and such. Sebastian is about 6 or 7 miles and has a lot of cool restaurants and even a brewery and a great park on the river etc. Fellsmere about 2 or 3 miles has great restaurants too. Exploring - Blue Cypress Conservation Area, St Sebastian River Preserve State Park, Sebastian Inlet State Park, Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge, Great beaches and lots more. This is an Encore park and I got a deal through Thousand Trails (Club) for a stay of 3 Months. I like this place a lot. I hope to return some time. I've added photos here read more

We love Sunshine Travel RV Resort. It is our normal stop as we travel through Florida. We normally stay in their transient spot which is perfect fine us as we tow our boat and I follow in a second vehicle. Unfortunately on our last visit my husband was bitten quite a few times by fire ants. I hope they take care of this problem Because a week later my husband's legs are still covered in welts. read more

We arrived a week ago and will be here for 3 months. We are renting one of the cabins on site. Have to say, great park si far!! Quiet! Clean!! Cabin is awesome..everything included..dishes, pots n pans, towels. So far, we made the right choice to stay here!! read more

This park is pretty nice, one of the better Encore properties we have stayed at. Encore buys older parks and seemingly just milks them for cash while doing little or nothing to improve them. So this is a typical older park with small sites and narrow roads not well suited to today's larger RV's. The Vero Beach address is misleading. The place is actually in Fellsmere, which is not really a town of any sort, just an exit off 95. The park is right next to the highway, so road noise is a factor, try to avoid the row next to the highway. You are about a 30 minute drive to the beach, or the town of Vero Beach. read more

Don't Expect to be Treated with Respect or Professionalism I have stayed at this park several times before, and most recently spent the 2018 season here. Overall, the park is nice - I would rate it at a 3. However, I would give a negative 5 stars for the lack of professionalism and respect on the part of the staff towards the guests. Here's the background: I am a professional woman who enjoys being part of a community. Wanting to do my part to enrich the season for the guests, I volunteered to provide free yoga lessons. My classes were always taught with an air of "this is how great it is to be staying at Sunshine Park", as a plug for the park. Along the way, I also donated literally dozens of cookbooks to enrich the park's library. One day when I went to teach class, I noticed that all of the books I donated were GONE, i.e. stolen from the library. When I brought this to the attention of the front desk employee (Nancy), she stated "once you donate something, it's no longer yours". I was dismayed by this and stated that the books were donated in the spirit of building our community. She then went on to state that "when you complain about things, the privilege to have them can just go away", meaning as punishment, they could just discontinue having a library. REALLY? Are we in kindergarten? This past weekend was the end of season going away party. The staff just willy-nilly left the security gates open all day so anyone could come and go, even though this was a party for the residents, not for outsiders. Some expensive lights I had purchased to decorate my site disappeared. I called and notified another office worker, and asked her to relay my issue to Michelle, the manager. Today, I went to the office to discuss the matter with Michelle. Without even inviting me into her office to discuss my concerns, she came out of her office with guns blazing and rudely shouted "we aren't going to do anything about this. We don't reimburse for anything stolen or we would be out of business by now". I voiced my concern about the gates being left open, and she shouted (not spoke, in a reasonably respectful tone, mind you) that my concern was my opinion, and that the gates would be left open again whenever they wanted to, for as long as they want to. I asked her if the business would like me to file a police report, and I was essentially told that this was my problem, and to do whatever I wanted to do. Unbelievable. If you want to stay here for a short amount of time and enjoy the area, this is an okay place, particularly if you have a dog. However, if you want to join the snowbird community as a seasonal guest, be forewarned. There is no professionalism nor compassion here, even when you go out of your way to go above and beyond for the business. But remember, this is just my opinion, according to the management. read more

We are new to RV travel, and chose this location to be close to our grandchildren for a few days. I feel fortunate, and we enjoyed our stay here. They have a key access gate, so there is not a lot of traffic. It's very quiet here! The grounds are clean, and there are lots of lovely trees. The dog park is large. The pool is great! The showers and laundry are clean, and updated. Great walking or short cycling on grounds. read more

I expected more given the reviews and price we paid to be here. Michele and Nancy were consistently rude, even to the point of yelling and shouting over a misunderstanding...one they let every other guest get away with that I did not know was an issue. I found that the office staff made up rules and didn't make everyone follow them. There was definite discrimination. Nancy had the nerve to pound on my camper door during a pandemic without a mask. She should not have come to my door unmasked. I saw little protocols observed throughout the campground. Talked to corporate and corporate said Nancy was supposed to call if there was an issue, not come to site. They were shocked she wasnt masked to come to my door. I wouldn't recommend this location at all, or any other one at this point. They made comments about my non aggressive dogs, yet never once met them, but let other people with problem dogs get away with it. We had dogs off leash run up to us and the office never did anything. Plenty of guests didn't pick up after their dogs, stepped in poop multiple times on my own site and in the road. We had several instances of other dogs going after ours. Sites flood with rain, roads are cracked and so are the pavement at the sites, potholes everywhere...lots of cigarette butts, especially in the dog park, and most sites looked cluttered. We had a broken picnic table almost our entire visit while empty sites got new ones. There were water pipes busting all over the park and they always had a repair crew out jackhammering away. Several times we had no water with no notice. No one monitored underage kids running around, other campers didn't observe quiet hours, teenagers were driving golf carts, kids playing in dog park with bb guns...nothing ever got done about them. We were told no parking in the grass and one car only, but about 1/3 of the park did this with no repercussions. Ants everywhere. You had to buy your own equipment if you wanted to use the mini golf, horseshoes, shuffleboard, petanque, etc. Was surpised it advertised wifi and cable yet we had none. What was at the club house was slow and still spotty. You had to go to the cable company to get a box. Overall very disappointed. Unfortunately we had business in the area and campground options were limited. Would not stay here again nor would I recommend to anyone. read more

We give Sunshine Travel RV Resort, (Vero Beach,FL) 5 Stars. It is a great park, neatly kept, and operated by responsive, friendly, and efficient management & staff ... we highly recommend it. The maintenance team responds quickly to any issues or requests brought to their attention. Also, as traveling African Americans we found this to be one of many many places that make us feel welcome all across America. Both Park management and Park guests were always cordial and friendly. 2017 is the 3rd year we have visited and this time we stayed 3 1/2 months. We will definitely be back next year (or sooner). The park's location is another plus... Being right on I95 (East off Fellsmere exit #156, ), Sunshine Travel is very easily accessible to travelers. read more
