This park only has 40 RV sites to rent out. Most of the park is for people who own homes inside park. Park O.K. for people over 55 years of age. In the summer park has very small number of people and I think kids may be O.K. This is not the case in winter months. This site has a lot of people who live here in winter months. Very nice park to look at and it has an island. Guard aways at the gate day or night. We only go here in the summer months. We camped here in a camper.

Many permanent residents but plenty of spaces for travelers. Restrooms and grounds and pool area were well maintained. Tengo internet connections fluctuated greatly depending on time of day. Beach is about 9 miles west with access to fishing areas. Lots of things to do in area.$3.00 per night resort fee in all Encore parks now charged is ridiculous. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

This has been an Encore park for about 8 years and is also know as Encore Sarasota North. They have periodic specials for long term stays so search the web, check with their booth at RV shows, Good Sam Highways or Trailer Life Magazine and ask when making reservations. During their high season January-March it runs around $70.00 a night. There are a lot of park models, long term visitors and it is close to the freeway so you can’t escape the noise. It is typical Florida high humidity and bugs, but with family in the area it is convenient for our annual visits. It is located a mile away from a Super Wal-Mart so it is good exercise for shopping. It is at exit 220 and there is an outlet mall at exit 224. During the holidays there are more children but in general much fewer than near by Sun N Fun on exit 210 in Sarasota. Staff is very friendly and eager to insure you enjoy your stay. There are lots of activities i.e. exercise classes, craft classes, informational seminars, day trips, weekly dinners and morning coffees to name a few. Cable TV is for long term visitors only, WIFI is sporadic. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

When I made reservations I was lead to believe that there was cable tv included with the site. Got there and found out that the only way to get cable is on a long-term basis. Pulled into our assigned site (pull thru) noticed that there was standing water everywhere, dropped the jacks and the rear one sunk through the asphalt! Better than 75% of sites are permanent trailers. Park is so close to the interstate that you hear traffic noise non stop. We won't be going there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We are full timers and we spend a lot of time here due to myhusbands company is out of Sarasota. We have made several friends. The staff is great. They always seem to booked in during season but they will try to work with you if you need a spot. Great park!! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Staff was friendly, however, when we checked in we were not asked did we want cable, did we want a water site etc. The site we were in was supposed to be a premium site. It was very unlevel, found electrical connections burnt, unable to use 30amp plug, picnic table was burnt on the top, patio was cracked, ant hills all over. Not enough room to park tow vehicle. Speed was not controlled in the park. Was not happy at all and would not stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.
