Encore Harbor Lakes

4 ReviewsAdd Review

RVs wedge between permanent trailers and mobile homes at this Port Charlotte resort, creating a mixed residential feel that some campers find crowded. The layout places short-term visitors alongside full-time residents, with Myakka River Motorcoach Resort located nearby for those seeking alternatives.

The facility maintains clean shower buildings and a large pool with hot tub that draws positive reviews. Wildlife appears regularly throughout the property, with campers spotting alligators, birds, and rabbits during their stays. "Lots of wildlife: birds, alligators, and rabbits," notes Lawrence Robert T. about the natural activity around the grounds.

Level sites provide full hookups for RVs, though the spacing between units leaves little privacy. Office hours can be inconsistent according to visitor reports. The campground sits close enough to highways for convenient access while maintaining relative quiet for overnight stays. Staff members receive praise for friendliness and quick accommodation of last-minute reservations.

This established RV park works best for travelers needing a functional overnight stop with amenities rather than those seeking a more traditional camping atmosphere away from residential development.

Emergency overnight stay

We wanted to use our generator for camping to test it out, but it would not start. Had to have a RV park nearby and called, and booked a site within 10 minutes. Very pleased with the accommodations. Pool was great, neighbors were friendly and very helpful. Park was clean and orderly. Definitely would stay here again.

Just okay

The resort was mixed in with full timers and mobile homes. The rvs were shoved in between these homes and permanent spots. Some houses looked fairly junky. There was no security, which is the second time I’ve come across that on my travels. The pool was really big and beautiful, the hot tub nice, and the showers very clean. It is not close to the ocean (20 minutes) and was not our first choice. Probably wouldn’t return even though everyone was very friendly and kind.

Trailer park with RV spots

While I’m pissed is not the best time to write a review, but I’ll try to be fair.

Pool/ hot tub is nice . Shower facility was clean and decent sized. Lots of wildlife: birds, alligators, and rabbits. That’s where my positive review ends.

They wedged us into a spot between two permanent trailers which was disappointing, especially since there were open spots available.

Office hours were posted but rarely found it to be open, which was a little frustrating.

Most off putting thing was the experience I had while showering. I was finishing a nice 7-10 minute shower when guy that works for the place walks up, just outside the curtain and says, “man, you take long showers”. I can’t describe how uncomfortable and in appropriate that felt.

Thousand trails campground

We came back to Florida to retrive our car after a 3 month stay in New England. This campground was right down the road from where we needed to conduct our business. Well orgaized, clean, friendly staff and level campsites. What you expect from a TT campground. Very laid back campground. Easy in and out yet well maintained and secure. Even though its close to the highway, the setup eliminates most nosies to give you a restful nights sleep. We spent 8 nights there. Will post some pics in a coupel days, tons of pics to edit from road trip down from New England area.
