This was our first time staying here at Encore Winter Garden Rv Resort…read more... We are Thousand Trails members and have been for about 4 years now. We decided to stay here because of the location to some of the shopping and attractions my wife wanted to do while there! * Definitely like how close it is to everything. * The staff has been nice during our once meeting during checkin. Since then I haven't had the need to go to the office for anything. * It's definitely NOT a resort. * We didn't use any of the pools because it was cold but the park does have two nice pools. * Our site was decent and somewhat level and quiet. Overall we will definitely comeback to Encore Winter Garden!

Sketchy looking people walking about. I had multiple daily camera alerts for cats, which are everywhere, and people letting their pets use my site as a bathroom mere inches off the outdoor mat. Positive part was that the staff, especially in the office, were super.

They put the light on a timer so to hurry you up however for the paying customer it stinks you get in, start a shower after trying to figure out that glass door that covers all the things you need and the lights go off. good luck not falling.... cheap cheap cheap. Dog poop everywhere we had to clean our site before setting up They charge you extra if you check in on Sunday even if you book on a Sunday and pay in full it's on top, fine I can see how we may have missed that however on top of everything else it felt like a scam. they have a ridiculous "window" to check in and out, hour wise, but don't worry they won't be available anyways. You call they say don't call, text us, you text and no response anyways. Everyone walks through the sites and we could not pick where our site was so youre playing campsite roulette when you check in. The on site owners are snarky and will charge you for ANYTHING they can think of. WiFi isn't included, can't hook into 110 think worst nightmare, money pit and this is the location. The pics on their website don't even match the location. Good luck, if you want to shred your money and have a crappy stay you picked the right spot. I've noticed the reviews after we stayed wished I checked google and other RV places before just their website, you can see how their responses are even snarky and how people tell you to run. I'd have to agree with those reviews run not worth it. Nothing like the smell of Dog poop in the morning to wake up....

When we are here we love to bike ride around the park as well as going to the pool. This park is conveniently located to a lot of attractions and restaurants. We like to ride our Ebikes to a Chinese restaurant down the road from the park. We also like to load our Ebikes on the back of the truck and drive to the South Orange Trail in Clermont. The trial is around 45 miles one way. This is one of the nicest bike trails we've done. * The park is very well maintained. * Water pressure is spot on. * The electricity is spot on and no issues (new or older side of the park). The new side of the park has great and wide pads and are pretty level (at least the ones we've been on). They are also not so close together. The older side of the park has gravel / grass pads. Some are wide and some are very close to the site next to it. All the staff here at the park is super friendly and very helpful! I also like how they have a text alert system to notify every one of things that are happening in the park. When we were there this time they sent a text out letting us know a certain section in the park the water will be turned off while they repaired a water valve. They also notified us some of the events were canceled due to weather. Three years ago we decided to purchase the full Thousand Trails membership and The Trails Collection. This has also enhance our travel experience. We definitely recommend TT Orlando as well as the membership. It works well so for during our travel needs!

We cannot say enough good things about Camp Margaritaville in Auburndale, Florida! Our Memorial Day…read moreweekend could have easily been ruined, but thanks to an incredible staff, it turned into a memory we'll never forget. (The MAYOR Rob along with Tammy, Sam, and Cori helped us tremendously.) After arriving, the kids played in the pool, we ate dinner, and were getting everyone settled for bed when we discovered the camper we rented through RVshare was completely full of ants. We immediately panicked because it was late, we had kids with us, and we really didn't want to pack up and drive back home after already starting our weekend. That's when MAYOR Rob came to the rescue. He radioed in, and Tammy and Sam quickly showed up with a key to a cabin they had available. They helped us move our things, get everyone situated, and completely saved our Memorial Day weekend. It's rare to find people who genuinely care the way this team did. Their kindness, quick action, and willingness to help meant more to our family than they probably realize. We are beyond thankful and truly appreciative for everything they did for us. Thank you again to Rob, Tammy, Sam, and Cori for going above and beyond. This level of customer service is something special, and it's the reason we'll absolutely be back!

I'd like to give you the positives. Crisp, clean, manicured, food and bar pretty good,…read morewell-appointed amenities. We had a pretty good week, having found a quiet pool area. Saw a bald eagle and a swallow-tail kite. I'd like to tell you about that, but that's not the review. Here's the review: if you book here, you will be checking into a bizarre combination of tropical paradise, tailgate party, spring break, and a middle school playground. On St. Patrick's Day, we had been doing some sightseeing. We came back to our site, and the folks who had arrived behind us fired up their music. I don't have a problem with music or other noise prior to "quiet time," so long as it's not over the top. This was way over the top. Kim was on the phone with the nursing home about her 91-year old mother and she couldn't hear the other end of the call. We called Security and asked for help, they came around and talked to the offenders. Whereupon the offenders started yelling around "who complained about our music?" And, they sent their preteen daughters on their bicycles going around and asking "did you complain?" Let's just say it was downhill from there. They jacked the volume even more, and started taunting us. Kim lost her temper and started yelling at them to quiet down. They responded by threatening her. She told me to call security, but since they hadn't helped, and the on-duty rent-a-cop had no interest in helping, I called 911 (which the campground rules said to do in an emergency). Apparently, that was a mistake. The rent-a-cop was pissed off that we called 911 when he was supposed to already be on top of it (which he wasn't). So there was a conclave of police cars, and the night manager, and the three large guys from the offending site, etc. Bottom line: management demanded that WE leave, in half an hour, or be arrested. It's 10:30 pm, and I told the rent-a-cop that I was in no shape to drive. "Figure it out," he said, and walked away. So two 70-year olds had 30 minutes to get everything packed up and drive to some alternative place. While we were striking the site, the kids at the offending site were chanting "we won, we won." And they started playing "Hit the Road You Jack" quite loud. And the adults were yelling "we're Republicans. We can do whatever we want." They noted our Maine license plates and told us to "go back to Canada where you belong." We ended up in a wicked expensive hotel in the next town over, paying spring break prices ($340 a night!!). And we lost the cost of two nights at the campground. So if you're a party animal, this may be your kind of place. Just don't complain about anything, or you will be asked to leave. It's interesting to note which rules are enforced and which aren't. For instance, there's a poolside bar, and lots of signs between the bar and the pool saying "no food or drink beyond this point." Not only was there lots of food and drink around the pool, there were wait staff taking orders and delivering it. In retrospect, the fact that they have a rent-a-cop cruising the premises every night should have been red flag. I've never seen that before, but apparently they expect rowdiness. They just don't want to deal with the negative repercussions.
